SAT ? of the Day 11/18/08

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


There has been little ------- criticism written about de la Mare; indeed, that which has been written is at the two extremes, either appallingly ------- or bitterly antagonistic.



  1. hostile . . ambiguous

  2. recent . . illogical

  3. fervent . . complimentary

  4. objective . . sycophantic

  5. temperate . . censorious




While both “complimentary” and “sycophantic” are opposed to “antagonistic,” only “objective” fits logically in the first blank.
(4)
Difficulty: Hard
Question Type: Sentence Completions
(Critical Reading)
