Question
In the question below, three sentences are given, each
of which has two words highlighted in bold. One of the words in each sentence is inappropriate in the context of the sentence. From the options, choose the one that provides the correct combination of inappropriately used words in each sentence. 1. Across the rich world, school students have (A) walk out of classrooms and taken to the (B) streets to call for action against climate change. 2. Although the students' passion is (A) abominable , their focus is (B) misguided . 3. It is little wonder that kids are (A) sacred when grown-ups paint such a (B) horrific picture of global warming.Solution
1.      (d) 1- We need to replace WALK with WALKED as the present perfect tense construction HAVE + VERB always takes the past participle form of the verb. 2- We need to replace ABOMINABLE (very bad; terrible) with ADMIRABLE (arousing or deserving respect and approval.). The sentence begins with the conjunction ALTHOUGH which is used to link contrasting ideas. MISGUIDED has a negative connotation, thus the adjective modifying the noun PASSION should have a positive connotation. 3- We need to replace SACRED (religious rather than secular) with SCARED (fearful; frightened). The sentence talks about the feelings of children. Since AAA is the correct combination, (d) is the right answer.
