  標題範例:Critical Reading > Sentence Completions

  Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

  Troy was ------- when he wasn’t elected class president: his spirits were so low that there was nothing we could say or do to cheer him up.

  (A) unctuous

  (B) disconsolate

  (C) ebullient

  (D) inscrutable

  (E) tenacious

  謎底:B

  【剖析】To be “disconsolate” is to be cheerless and dejected, or cast down in spirits. The sentence indicates that Troy’s spirits were very low — so low, in fact, that nobody could do anything to bring him cheer. It makes sense, then, to describe Troy as disconsolate, or cheerless and dejected, after losing the election.
