MCQ - 148-11850

Question:

The ____ tone of the biography is entirely unexpected since both the biographer in her previous works and her subject in all that he has written have valued levity over solemnity.

lugubrious
jaunty
jocose
jaunty
ironic

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Since the writer and her subject favor levity (humor), it would be unexpected if the tome of the biography were too serious. �Lugubrious� (mournful) and �melancholy� (sad) convey this idea best. Note that �jaunty� and �jocose� are nearly synonymous but their meaning of �playful� would not fit.
