For Questions 1 through 3, select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.
Linda exposed the illegal actions of her company and was, unfortunately, ______ by her peers for her ethical actions.
- A. adored
- B. shunned
- C. ostracized
- D. relieved
- E. celebrated
- F. admired
参考答案:B, C
解析:Linda’s behavior was "ethical," a positive term, but the results were described as "unfortunate." Therefore, you can anticipate that the action of her peers was negative. "Shunned" and "ostracized" are synonyms that capture this sense of negative action.
