Why are there so many mistakes?

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Each question below has one or more blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for the blanks which best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

The students at these schools need to become _______ in both languages, without any detriment to the ________ of academic knowledge.

Options:
A) useful, characterization
B) efficient, conduct
C) compliant, obtaining
D) proficient, acquisition
E) conversant, supply
Solution:

Ans: (d) proficient, acquisition

The sentence relates to academic goals or teaching objectives under a particular curriculum The use of the adjective "proficient” is idiomatically followed either by “in" or “at", and not by any other preposition. The prepositions will determine the choice of the given word. The use of “in” has decided the choice in favour of (d) ‘proficient.' Then the other word attached to the pair is “acquisition’, which automatically and unquestionably fits the second blank. Other pairs do not semantically fit the blanks and therefore are dismissed. 

Example sentences: She is proficient in three languages; the acquisition of wealth is no guarantee of peace of mind.
