The first word should most closely be related to the word “forgiveness” later in the sentence, while the second should be closely related to the word “heinous.” "Absolution . . . reprehensible" is the only answer that fits here.

"Cacophony" meansa tremendous, disharmonious noise, while "disgruntled" meansupset or not content. Understandably, people who had come to hear music would be upset that a recital was interrupted by a disharmonious noise.

A "novice" isa beginnerorsomeone without training or experience, while "ingenuous" meanscandid and innocent. Naturally, the master would only be touched by praise that was innocent and candid.

The options can be narrowed down significantly simply by looking at which one of the options for the first blank can be followed by the preposition "for." That brings us down to "proclivity," meaningtendencyand "penchant," meaningliking. "Paramount" works better in the second blank, however, because it meansof utmost importance. "Trivial" means the opposite, and we would hope that the police find it important to find a violent criminal.

From the structure of this sentence you know that the first blank is referring to some agreement between Native Americans and European settlers and that the second blank describes how fair that agreement was. Of the five possible answer choices the best answer is arrangement and devoid. Arrangement refers toan agreementand devoid describes somethingas lacking. As possible answer choices lacking, bereft and remiss would also be correct as these are all synonyms for devoid. However, lamentation meansto express sadness and grief; indoctrination meansto cause someone to believe something different to what they naturally would; nostalgia refers toa sentimental recollection of past events. None of these answer choices is quite right as a synonym for agreement.

关键要注意的是,克里斯多夫只是娱乐ently had a change in his interests. This gives us the best indication for the second word to be chosen, as “nascent” literally means “newly born.” It is related to other words like “nativity,” “natal,” and “renaissance" (meaning "re-birth").

"Antithesis" meansthe exact opposite, while "beholden" meansowing something to another, such as allegiance. A person who argues that power determines what is right and wrong would believe the exact opposite of his or her friend who believes in a higher law to which we must all be loyal.

我们可以推断出第二个空白,我们需要pick out an answer choice that means something like "escape," because we know the thief "[ran] straight out the door" when she heard the burglar alarm go off. Either "getaway" (" an escape or quick departure, especially after committing a crime") or "egress" ("the action of going out of or leaving a place") could be potentially correct. For the first blank, we know that the thief made her exit "at a headlong dash," so she was moving very quickly and we should pick out an adjective to reflect her speed. Either "hasty" ("done or acting with excessive speed or urgency; hurried") or "quick" ("moving fast or doing something in a short time") could be potentially correct. Of the possible words that we've identified as potentially correct for each blank, only "hasty" and "egress" appear in the same answer choice, so the correct answer is "hasty . . . egress."

Since the assets were free from interference, they were isolated. The word “insulated” does not merely indicate the process of installing material to prevent energy from being transferred from one area to another. It also can indicate任何这样的孤立的力量. The word is derived from the Latin word “insula,” which means “island.” The English word, “insular,” is similarly derived.

The word “parity”, indicatinga state of equality, is derived from the Latin “pars,” meaningequal. The same root is reflected in English words like “disparity,” “pair,” and even “subpar.”

The key to getting this question correct is noting the options for the first blank. The sense here is not directly depression but instead is that of being ofa bleak and sullen temperament. “Morose” best fits this usage. Although “lamentation” can have the sense of weeping, it also can indicate the expression of sorrow in general, so the word still fits—at least better than the other options, which is all that is needed.
