Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
Laboratories have been warned that provisions for animal protection that in the past were merely ------- will now be mandatory; ------- of this policy will lose their federal research grants.
- comprehensive . . adversaries
- nominal . . advocates
- disregarded . . proponents
- recommended . . violators
- compulsory . . resisters
• The word “merely” indicates that the past provisions were not as strict as the “mandatory” provisions and “recommended” is the only first term that conveys a lesser degree of strictness. Only “violators” could logically be penalized by losing their federal research grants.
• Difficulty: Easy
• Question Type: Sentence Completions (Critical Reading)
