The 6 sample questions as a list
  1. The plan to move the town's only high school across the river proved so ______ that the public hearing ran past midnight, with residents shouting over one another about traffic and taxes.

    A) inconsequential
    B) contentious
    C) staid
    D) belligerent
    B) contentious

    A hearing that runs past midnight with residents shouting over one another signals heated disagreement: contentious. Belligerent is tempting, but it describes hostile people or nations eager to fight, not a plan that sparks argument.
    Character & Behavior
  2. During their first year, new members of the monastery study the order's ______, set out in four thick volumes on prayer, silence and service; anyone who openly rejects its teachings may be asked to leave.

    A) maxim
    B) lexicon
    C) heresy
    D) doctrine
    D) doctrine

    The body of beliefs a group teaches and expects its members to accept is its doctrine: four volumes of teaching that no member may reject. Maxim is tempting, but a maxim is one short saying, and this fills four volumes; a lexicon is a vocabulary, and no one is sent away for rejecting a word list.
    Thinking & Knowing
  3. Because her fever broke overnight and her X-ray came back clear, the doctors ______ Grandma Lucia on Tuesday morning, and she was home in time for lunch.

    A) displaced
    B) discharged
    C) emancipated
    D) waived
    B) discharged

    Once she had recovered, the doctors officially released her from the hospital: they discharged her. Emancipated is tempting because she was freed to go home, but emancipate means freeing people from slavery, or ending the legal, social or political control others have over them.
    Actions & Effort
  4. After two centuries in which almost no one spoke it, the island's native language is enjoying a ______: the very words the oldest islanders learned as children are now taught in every school, and street signs carry them beside English.

    A) outpouring
    B) hiatus
    C) renaissance
    D) metamorphosis
    C) renaissance

    Coming back into wide use after two centuries of near silence is a revival: a renaissance. Metamorphosis is tempting, since the language's place on the island has changed, but a metamorphosis is a deep change that remakes a person or thing, and these are the very same words, brought back.
    Change & Growth
  5. With the reservoir at nine percent and no rain forecast for a month, officials warned that the water shortage had become ______ and ordered all lawn watering stopped at once.

    A) flagrant
    B) passable
    C) momentous
    D) dire
    D) dire

    A nearly empty reservoir that forces an emergency ban is extremely serious and urgent: dire. Flagrant is tempting because both mean very bad, but flagrant describes an obvious wrong or broken rule, and a drought is nobody's offense.
    Quality & Judgment
  6. This year the school's field day will ______ with a solar eclipse, so teachers are handing out free viewing glasses at the relay races.

    A) taper
    B) convene
    C) coincide
    D) deviate
    C) coincide

    Two events that fall at the same time coincide. Convene is tempting because a field day brings people together, but convene means people gathering for a formal meeting, and an eclipse meets no one.
    Nature & Time
