To determine the correct word choice for each sentence, you can use context clues and your understanding of word meanings. Here's an explanation to help you understand how to find the answer for each sentence:
15. In this sentence, we are discussing a peaceful and just society and the requirement of one race being submissive to another. The word "submissive" means yielding to authority or control. The opposite of being submissive in this context would be to stand up for one's rights or be assertive. Therefore, the correct word is "responsive."
16. The sentence states that the person didn't have time to write a letter, but added a few sentences to their sister's letter. The word "appended" means to add or attach, which fits the context of the sentence.
17. The sentence suggests that instead of creating copies of famous works of art, the person should try to create something original. The word "replicas" refers to copies or reproductions. Therefore, the correct word is "replicas."
18. The sentence mentions that only seven members voted on the resolution, while the others did something else. The word "abstained" means to choose not to vote or take part in something. Therefore, the correct word is "abstained."
19. The sentence describes how singing affects the person's spirits when they are feeling low. The word "exalted" means to uplift or raise someone's spirits. Therefore, the correct word is "exalted."
20. The sentence states that it remains to be seen or uncertain how the students will respond to the new teaching method. The word "responsive" means to react or answer to something, which contrasts with "glum" (sad or gloomy). Therefore, the correct word is "responsive."
