SC Big Book Test 27 Section 5 Question 6

I know the GRE wants to test me on ‘reconciled’ and not ‘matched’, but putting that thought aside, it is the second blank that is the decider.

The official answer is (D) but I chose (C). Why am I wrong?

How do you eliminate ‘implementation’ (C)?

Thanks,

We’re talking about findings being complementary here, that means the findings are matching up. It doesn’t say we’re doing anything with the findings other than reading them.

“interpretation” is closer to reading the findings, than implementation.

Not 100% sure though.

Let’s start with the first blank:

Although complementary, could not be complementary

A obtained - results are already obtained so this doesn’t make sense

B completed - maybe

C matched - maybe

D reconciled - maybe

E produced - same as A, we already have the results so eliminate

Now we are looking at blank two:

Could not be completed/matched/reconciled, without a major change in data or “blank”

The only way to bring two sets of findings together is to either change the data or how you look at the data.

B - position - doesn’t make sense

C - implementation - we aren’t using it, we’re understanding it

D - interpretation - makes sense

Please check my logic!

Looks great @margot.e.shumway !
