Critical Reading>Sentence Completions

Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

The language of Anne Spencer’s poetry conveys an impression of ------- that can be misleading: just when a poem seems to be echoing routine feelings, the diction suddenly sharpens to embody fresh and unexpected ideas.

(A) frivolity
(B) triteness
(C) diversity
(D) lyricism
(E) precision

答案和解析

答案：B
