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.

A judgment made before all the facts are known must be called ------- .

(A) harsh
(B) deliberate
(C) sensible
(D) premature
(E) fair

答案和解析

答案：D

解析：

Getting the correct answer to this question depends almost entirely on your knowing the definitions of the five words you must choose from. Which of the choices describes a judgment made "before all the facts are known?" Such a judgment, by definition, is not deliberate, and the sentence doesn't tell us whether the judgment was "harsh" or lenient, "sensible" or dumb, "fair" or unfair. "Premature" means hasty or early. It fits the blank perfectly.
