Sentence Completion

MCQ - 151-11621

Question:

Elinor ____ to counteract her negative feelings, but only succeeded in ____ them

  1. tried - allaying
  2. desired - ameliorating
  3. hesitated – deprecating
  4. desired - ameliorating
  5. endeavoured - intensifying

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

‘But’ indicates a need for opposites. Thus the sentence implies that she tried to overcome negative feelings but only succeeded in making them worse. Hence, we choose endeavoured (tried) and intensifying (making stronger).
(allaying = mitigating = making less severe; ameliorating = improving; deprecating = criticizing)
