The civilization’s greatest fear was _________ from its indentured servants; measures were thus enacted to maintain their _________. However, these did not always work and revolts did take place.
Can anybody explain to me whether the second blank is support or contrast?? I think it is supported because of the word ‘THUS’. But my answer is wrong
You’re supposed to solve blank 2 first. You can only use the “thus” for support once you’ve filled in blank 1, but how do you fill that in?
i solved the 1st blank as support for the semicolon( ; ) then went to 2nd blank
What was your guess for the first blank?
I didn’t guess any word…just building the skill to recognize whether a blank is support or contrast…in the website, there is a section for this
It’s not that simple. You need to recognise the support/contrast that lets you guess the blank specifically. It’s not possible to guess the blank just from supporting the idea of “measures were thus enacted to maintain their i)--------”, so the support with the semicolon would not be correct here.
can u explain it more?? am i not supposed to find out the relevant support/contrast words or phrase??
You have to find the support/contrast thing that tells you specifically how to get the blank, not just any support/contrast
Modern war is waged _________, not violently, and a nation _________ its rivals’ goods in favor of homegrown products, even if _________, is a government’s favorite weapon.
Is blank 1 being supported or contrasted and by what word, phrase or punctuation.
b1 is contrasted because of not after it…correct me if i am wrong @ganesh
