Explanation
1.The correct answer is B
The key to the sentence is the word "Although," which suggests a contrast of some sort between
what Suzette's parents believed and what her teachers thought. Choice (B) is the only pair of
contrasting terms. In this context, "brilliant" means defined by striking and unusual mental
keenness, and "unremarkable" means ordinary and unimpressive. The sentence indicates that the
teachers did not share the parents' opinion: Suzette's parents believed everything their daughter

produced was striking and unusually smart, but her teachers thought her work was ordinary and
not deserving of special notice.
2.The correct answer is E
To be “meticulous” is to pay extreme care in the consideration or treatment of details.
In this context, “careless” means not showing care or attention. The sentence indicates that
Maya is often inattentive in her schoolwork; in other words, she tends not to pay attention to
her work, or typically is careless. It certainly would be uncharacteristic, then, for Maya to
give extremely careful consideration to details when writing her essay — that is, it would be
out of the ordinary for her to be so meticulous.
3.The correct answer is B
The key words are “sufficiently,” which indicates a positive response to the writer’s ideas,
and “bear with,” which conveys negative feelings toward the writer’s language. Only
“interesting...abuses of” provides a corresponding positive-negative relationship.
4.The correct answer is D
One of the meanings of “keen” is “acutely sensitive.” Therefore, if our sense of smell
is keen or acutely sensitive, it is capable of “distinguishing thousands of chemical odors.”
5.The correct answer is C
“Impulsive” means acting suddenly, abruptly, or without premeditation. To approve something
is to consent to or confirm it. The sentence suggests that the department head was concerned about
how her actions would be viewed. If she were concerned about the possibility of being considered
too abrupt or thoughtless in her plans, or about thinking them through insufficiently before acting
on them, she certainly might have wanted to have her plans "approved" by others before she
implemented them, or carried them out. It makes sense to say that the department head had the
advisory committee members confirm or sanction her plans so that she would not be considered
impulsive.
