Explanation (Question:1056442.0)

Meaning of voracious

Question:

In the question below, three sentences are given, each of which has two words highlighted in bold. Choose the word in each sentence that fits appropriately in the context, and select the right option.

1. When I woke up after the surgery, I felt as though I was in a (A)surreal/(B)sanguine environment because of the anesthesia.

2. If the store is sold out of the video games, then driving to the store is a (A)modest/(B)moot idea.

Options:
A)

ABB 

B)

BBA    

C)

BAB 

D)

BAA    

E)

ABA

Solution:

Ans:(e) 

1- SURREAL means having the qualities of surrealism; bizarre., while SANGUINE means optimistic or positive, especially in an apparently bad or difficult situation. Here the sentence talks about how the subject felt when he woke up after surgery. We need an adjective to modify the noun ENVIRONMENT. Hence, A will be used.

2- MODEST means unassuming in the estimation of one's abilities or achievements, while MOOT means subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty. The sentence talks about a store which has run out of video games. Hence, B will be used.

3- VORACIOUS means wanting or devouring great quantities of food, while VOCATION means a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation. The sentence talks about the quality of the best students. Hence, A will be used.
