Example Question #1702 : Sentence Completion
Choose the set of words that best completes the following sentence.
I’m not usually a(n) __________ person, but I was fuming after I got lost driving to my friend’s house because of the __________ directions he gave me.
Possible Answers:
fanatical . . . unwitting
irksome . . . volatile
glacial . . . subtle
presumptuous . . . egregious
irascible . . . nebulous
Correct answer:
irascible . . . nebulous
Explanation:
For the first blank, we are looking for a word that has to do with getting angry because this person was “fuming.” For the second, we can infer that the directions were not very good because this person got lost. The answer choice with "irascible . . . nebulous" is the only that fits because irascible means easily angered, while "nebulous" means vague.
