Directions: Select the most appropriate fillers for the blanks such that the sentence makes coherent sense.

Virtually every undergraduate can ________, with considerable __________, that he or she has had a teacher who displayed an indifferent or even callous attitude towards the organization of their courses.

  1. exult ……… reluctance

  2. attest …….. dismay

  3. lament …….. complacency

  4. disavow …….. disillusionment

  5. revel ….. anxiety
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

As something negative has been attributed to the teacher, so for first blank, words 'exult' and 'disavow' can be neglected. Now, among the words left for the second blank, dismay and complacency, the word 'complacency' meaning contentment or satisfaction is not suitable. Therefore, it can be rejected. These inferences help us conclude that option (2) is correct.
