Hi Team,
I am confused between option A and D. Option A seemed to be more relevant given the evidences. May you help me understand why A is wrong?
Synopsis of Approach b/w A and D:
“as” is support, Idea1: denigrate books hence 1st Blank should be -ve.
morally “bad time” to earn profit… hence both A and D make sense.
“but” is contrast, Idea1: denigration.
hence 2nd Blank should be contrast with “denigration”. “encourages” is better contrast than “legitimizes”. Plus no hint for “legalising” anything. Hence A is better than D.
Detailed Approach:
- 1st Blank:
- “as” is a support.
- Idea 1 is, “denigrating” Books. Hence, Blank should be “bad” or negative.
- Eliminates Option B as “fortuitous” is positive.
- 2nd Blank:
- “but” is a Contrast.
- “them” is used for books.
- Idea 1 is, “denigrating” Books. Hence, Blank should be “encourages” them(books) or Positive.
- Removed option E as No hint for generation.
- Removed option C as No hint for protection.
- Removed option D as No hint for legalising anything.
Marked Option A as Inopportune is negative. and “encourages” is better antonym for “denigrate”.
Thank you
