Question : 2

a) Withdrawn

b) Scrounged

c) Articulated

d) Bound to

e) Scuttled

Answer: (b)

Meaning: Scrounged - Obtained through the generosity of others, articulated - Speaking fluently, bound to - Restricted to, Scuttled - Run hurriedly with short steps

“Scrounged” means to obtain something through cheating others. The sentence describes about how an inspector demanded money for bribery although they had to pay money to the agent, who cheated on them. No other word in the sentence means similar to cheating other than Scrounged.

Question : 5

After Rick was fired from the restaurant, he wrote a ____________ review of the eatery.

a) Narrow

b) Sardonic

c) Scripture

d) Ideologue

e) Fugitive

Answer: (b)

Meaning: Sardonic - Humorous or disrespectful, Scripture - the sacred writings of a religion, Ideologue - an advocate of an ideology, Fugitive - someone who flees from law

Being fired from the restaurant, the action made by a person can be of two types, either apologetic or audacious. With no word in the options conveying the meaning similar to “apology”, we assume, the action definitely shows audacity. Also, being an adjective to be placed before review, we need an adjective to be filled in blank.

Thus, “Scripture and Ideologue” don’t fit here. “Narrow” can’t be an adjective to a review and “Fugitive” is a noun that refers to an identity of a person. Therefore, “Sardonic” which means “disrespectful” can be used as adjective to review.
