Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
The sentence needs to be completed with a word that suggests a reason for the executive to wish to keep a low profile. The words “indecorous” and “unseemly” both suggest such a reason, and the sentences completed with those two choices are alike in meaning. Therefore, that pair forms the correct answer. Although one might get a sensible sentence by filling the blank with another choice, such as “longawaited,”
none of the other choices that meets that criterion also has a companion choice that would produce another sentence alike in meaning.
