- Question 7 of 25
7. Question
Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.
Compromise is _________ to passionate natures because it seems to surrender, and to intellectual natures it seems a _________.
Hint
Third and fourth answer choices can be eliminated because intimidations is a noun whereas we have to fill an adjective, inherent will give the sentence a positive meaning whereas it is negative towards compromise.

Compromise and confusion, although, do not fit well, so the first answer choice will be the answer.
- Question 8 of 25

Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.
The village headman was unlettered, but he was no fool, he could see through the _________ of the businessman’s proposition and promptly _________ him down.
Hint
A proposal is ‘turned down’ not forced down. So, we have to choose from second and fourth answer choices. ‘Naivete’ means inexperience and ‘sophistry’ means clever reasoning done to mislead. ‘Sophistry’ and ‘turned’ are the appropriate fillers for the sentence.
- Question 9 of 25
9. Question
Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

So, we have first and third answer choices. ‘archetypal’ means of a particular kind while eclectic means choosing from various sources. ‘Electric’ goes well with the meaning of the sentence. So, the third answer choice is correct answer.
