“It would’ve been disingenuous of the candidate to appear ___ when her opponent won the election, but she congratulated the victor nonetheless.”
How to do the math strategy in this one? I understand the logic by looking at it but the “but” and the “disingenuous” together are confusing me.
Pairing options:
Ecstatic, euphoric
Crestfallen, disgruntled
Think of it this way
It would have been insincere of the candidate to appear_______ when her opponent won the election, but she congratulated the victor nonetheless.
Math Strategy
Idea 1 = Sentence before the comma.
Idea 2 = She congratulated the victor nonetheless.
The comma separates the ideas.
Disingenuous ( - ) x ( Blank ) = But ( - ) x Congratulated he Victor ( + )
Blank must be positive.
that’s so smart of you
thank you!!
