College Board ? of the Week

Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Despite their ------- proportions, the murals of Diego Rivera give his Mexican compatriots the sense that their history is ------- and human in scale, not remote and larger than life.


  1. monumental . . accessible
  2. focused . . prolonged
  3. vast . . ancient
  4. realistic . . extraneous
  5. narrow . . overwhelming


Hint
Watch for key introductory and transitional words that determine how the parts of the sentence relate to each other. Then try answering two-blank questions one blank at a time. If you can eliminate one word in a choice, the entire choice can be ruled out.
