Answer 2

1. Answer: C (overt) The correct answer is "overt." The sentence implies that although Paul and his brother did not openly express hostility, their negative feelings were apparent to others, suggesting that their unfriendly terms were noticeable.

2. Answer: D (rest) The appropriate word to complete the sentence is "rest." After finishing the splendid dinner, the natural course of the evening would be to rest and engage in conversation. The phrase "rest of the evening" indicates the remaining part of the evening after dinner.

3. Answer: B (affected) The word "affected" fits the context. It indicates that the local people were influenced or harmed by the harmful chemicals released into the river. They were adversely affected by the situation.

4. Answer: D (occupied) The word "occupied" is the correct choice here. If all the seats were occupied, it means they were already taken, and there was no available seating. The sentence conveys the need to stand due to the lack of vacant seats.

5. Answer: A (inhabit) The word "inhabit" fits the sentence. It implies that their daughters are interested in a rare species that lives on those islands. The word "inhabit" means to live in a place.

6. Answer: A (delayed) The word "delayed" is the appropriate choice. It suggests that if Alice had known Doug’s flight was going to be delayed, she would have come to the airport much later, indicating that the flight was postponed or took longer than expected.

7. Answer: D (vicinity) The correct word is "vicinity." It refers to the area near or surrounding a particular place, indicating that the suspicious-looking man had been seen in the vicinity of the bank shortly before it was robbed.

8. Answer: B (pseudonym) The word "pseudonym" is the right choice. A pseudonym is a fictitious name used by an author to conceal their identity. In this context, the nonfiction writer wrote novels under a different name to maintain anonymity.

9. Answer: A (conducts) The word "conducts" is suitable in this context. It indicates that if the sales division conducts market research more thoroughly, the new product will sell much better than the previous one. "Conducts" means to carry out or perform an activity.

10. Answer: A (changed) The word "changed" is the correct choice. The sentence suggests that the 1990s saw a significant transformation or revolution in the field of computers. The phrase "what could be" implies a potential change or revolution in progress during that time period.
