Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 1

Visual artist Gabriela Alemán states that the bold colors of comics, pop art, and Latinx culture have always fascinated her. This passion for the rich history and colors of her Latinx community translates into the ______ artworks she produces.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

Detailed Solution for Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 1

Choice A. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. Nothing in the text indicates that Alemán's artworks are "unknown".

Choice B. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. "Reserved" can either mean "slow to reveal emotions" or "booked". But the clues suggest that Alemán's artworks are boldly colorful—almost the opposite of "reserved"!

Choice C. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. "Definite" means "certain" or "decided". It wouldn't make sense to describe artwork as "definite".

Choice D. This is the best choice. "Vivid" can mean "colorful" or "bright-colored". This definition fits the context clues about Alemán's fascination with and passion for bold colors.

Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 2

Business researcher Melanie Brucks and colleagues found that remote video conference meetings may be less conducive to brainstorming than in-person meetings are. The researchers suspect that video meeting participants are focused on staring at the speaker on the screen and don't allow their eyes or mind to wander as much, which may ultimately ______ creativity.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

Detailed Solution for Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 2

Choice A. This choice is too positive to fit the context. The first sentence tells us that video meetings are "less conducive to" (meaning less good for) brainstorming. This suggests that the video meeting participants' focus is bad for their creativity.

Choice B. This choice doesn't make sense. The participants' intense focus on the screen is the subject of the missing verb. It wouldn't make sense to say that their over-focusing "criticizes" their creativity.

Choice C. Construct means "build" or "make", which is too positive to fit the context. The first sentence tells us that video meetings are "less conducive to" (meaning less good for) brainstorming. This suggests that the video meeting participants' focus is bad for their creativity.

Choice D. This is the best choice. The first sentence tells us that video meetings are "less conducive to" (meaning less good for) brainstorming. This suggests that the video meeting participants' focus is bad for their creativity. "Impede" means "delay" or "prevent", which works perfectly in this context.

Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 3

Stephen Hannock's luminous landscape paintings are appealing to viewers but have elicited little commentary from contemporary critics, a phenomenon that may be due to the very fact that the paintings seem so ______. Many critics focus their attention on art that is cryptic or overtly challenging.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

Detailed Solution for Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 3

Choice A. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. The next sentence tells us that critics focus on art that is mysterious and challenging. If Hannock's paintings are "innovative" (meaning advanced and original), then critics probably would comment on them.

Choice B. This is the best choice. When talking about a thing, "accessible" means "easy to understand". This sets up the contrast in the next sentence, which tells us that critics mostly focus on art that is "cryptic or challenging" (meaning not easy to understand).

Choice C. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. The next sentence tells us that critics focus on art that is mysterious and challenging. If Hannock's paintings are "profound" (meaning very deep and insightful), then critics probably would comment on them.

Choice D. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. The next sentence tells us that critics focus on art that is mysterious and challenging. If Hannock's paintings are "subversive" (meaning disruptive and revolutionary), then critics probably would comment on them.

Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 4

US traffic signals didn't always contain the familiar three lights (red, yellow, and green). Traffic lights only ______ red and green lights until the three-light traffic signal was developed in 1923.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

Detailed Solution for Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 4

Choice A. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. Traffic signals didn't avoid only red and green lights, they had only red and green lights (until 1923).

Choice B. This is the best choice. "Featured" means "had as a prominent attribute or aspect", which appropriately expresses how traffic signals only had red and green lights until 1923.

Choice C. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. Traffic signals don't have feelings, so it wouldn't make sense to say that they appreciate only red and green lights.

Choice D. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. "Disregarded" means "ignored", something only living things can do. So it wouldn't make sense to say that traffic signals disregarded only red and green lights.

Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 5

Economist Marco Castillo and colleagues showed that nuisance costs—the time and effort people must spend to make donations—reduce charitable giving. Charities can mitigate this effect by compensating donors for nuisance costs, but those costs, though variable, are largely ______ donation size, so charities that compensate donors will likely favor attracting a few large donors over many small donors.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

Detailed Solution for Words in Context Test- 2 - Question 5

Choice A. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. If nuisance costs can predict donation size, that wouldn't necessarily result in charities that compensate donors for those costs attracting a few large donors over many small donors.

Choice B. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. If nuisance costs are subsumed in (meaning included in) donation size, that wouldn't result in charities that compensate donors for those costs attracting a few large donors over many small donors.

Choice C. This is the best choice. We're told that charities that pay donors back for nuisance costs will attract a few large donors instead of many small donors. This suggests that nuisance costs are not linked to donation size.

Choice D. This doesn't fit the logic of the text. If nuisance costs are supplemental to (meaning in addition to) to donation size, that wouldn't result in charities that compensate donors for those costs attracting a few large donors over many small donors.
