    Question

    In the question below, a sentence is given with one

    blank, followed by five options, each having two words which may or may not fit in the blank. From the given options, choose the one that gives the correct pair of words that fit in the blank.  She thought she wanted to become an editor, until she got a job and realized she hated ____ work.
    A Twisted, modifying Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Minute, breath-taking Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Exclusive, elastic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Intricate, detailed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Matured, circumstantial Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The given sentence talks about a woman who thought that she wanted to become an editor but once she got the job, she realized that she hated the nature of work. The blank requires an adjective that qualifies the noun 'work'. Among the given options, the pair of 'intricate' and 'detailed' fits in the blank appropriately. 'Intricate' means very complicated. 'Detailed' means showing attention to small facts. Hence, (b) is the correct answer. The rest of the options have words that either don't fit in contextually or are not adjectives.
