To have true disciples, a thinker must not be too _____: any effective intellectual leader depends on the ability of other people to _____ thought processes that did not originate with them.
-
A popular . . dismiss
-
B methodical . . interpret
-
C idiosyncratic . . reenact
-
D self-confident . . revitalize
-
E pragmatic . . discourage
Can somebody help me with this sentence? Why self-confident is wrong for the first blanc?
Self -confident just means confident or believing in oneself and we got no clue explicitly mentioning towards it in the question. From the second part of the question we gather that the leader is dependent on the ability of other _______thought processes that did not originate with them. —> so copy/ retrace will be a good guess for blank two. Now, if we want the thinker thought process to be replicable its should not be hard to follow or unique . Hence, C is the most apt choice for the blanks
