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.
1.There was no denying the lecturer’s ------- , but her arguments were unsophisticated and------- .
(A) bravura . . precise
(B) boorishness . . unoriginal
(C) charisma . . vapid
(D) competence . . infallible
(E) indifference . . benign
The correct answer is C
Explanation
The structure of the sentence sets up a contrast between two ways of describing the lecturer. The fact that she had a charismatic, or magnetic, presence, does indeed contrast with the notion that the content of the lecture was unsophisticated and “vapid” or uninteresting.
2.Mr. Warmington considered himself a connoisseur of fine wines, claiming he could -------variations in taste and quality among any range of vintages he was served.
(A) purvey
(B) discern
(C) efface
(D) mollify
(E) debate
The correct answer is B
Explanation
Choice (B) is correct. If this term were inserted into the sentence, the sentence would read “Mr. Warmington considered himself a connoisseur of fine wines, claiming he could discern variations in taste and quality among any range of vintages he was served.” A “connoisseur” has a sophisticated ability to appreciate and assess subtleties. If Mr. Warmington considered himself a connoisseur of wine, he would claim an ability to “discern,” or detect, variations in the taste and quality of different wines。
