Directions: For the following question, choose the option that fills up the blanks most correctly.
He was _________ in his vindictiveness, often feigning a disarming camaraderie while _________ his opportunity for revenge.
-
impulsive, gauging
-
harmless, preparing
-
resolute, forgetting
-
devious, awaiting
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The sentence must mean that the person was intent upon taking revenge for the earlier harm. He must therefore be looking for an opportunity to take revenge, even while pretending friendship. Devious is what describes such a person perfectly, and awaiting fits in well in the second blank. Hence, (4) is the answer.
