Example Question #1 :Isee低水平(等级5 6)语言推理
Jennifer realized that she was__________when of the five cats she was supposed to be looking after, she could only find four; luckily the fifth turned out to be hiding under the comforter.
reflective
swerving
wary
in a pickle
in the clear
in a pickle
We can infer that if Jennifer could only find four of the five cats she was supposed to be looking after, she must have been in trouble. So, we need to pick out a word or phrase that means something like "trouble." "In the clear" cannot be the correct answer, then, because "in the clear" means "no longer in danger or suspected of something," making it the opposite of the word or phrase that we're looking for. "In a pickle," however, is a phrase that means "in a difficult or messy situation," and because this best describes Jennifer's situation when she could only find four of the five cats she was supposed to be looking after, "in a pickle" is the correct answer.
