  2. B
    stubborn
  3. C
    skeptical
  4. D
    fascinating
  5. E
    unobtrusive

Correct Answer:
D
The word "ironic" signifies a contradiction of ideas within the sentence, and the conjunction "while:" indicates that the characteristics of the good people and the evil people are being contrasted.

On the contrary, the second part of the sentence follows logically from the first part. If high rise holdings are 'Important'. Inevitable' or 'appropriate' for families with children, they cannot be 'criticized' for that reason. So. C . . D. and E. can be rejected straightway, and the choice is only between A and B . The lack of recreational facilities in most high-rise holdings cannot lead to a conclusion that at high-rise bumming are 'degrading' for A mites with children. The logical statement can be that such buildings are
'unsuitable' for families with children. So. A is the best choice.

Correct Answer:
E
The word exposed', and the phrase 'Indiscriminate use of pesticides', imply (hat the first missing word must be one which stands for something bad that is associated with the use of pesticides. So, the choices 'advantages' and 'benefits' can be ruled out first. Since the phrase'deaths of the Indiscriminate use of pesticides' does not make sense, the choice deaths' can also be ruled out leaving hazards' (meaning 'risks') and dangers as the only possible choices (or the first missing word. If the pair 'hazards., defused' is chosen, the sentence would mean that the exposure of the hazards of using pesticides defused (or weakened. the modern environmental movement, which is illogical. The pair dangers., inspired" completes a cogent and logical sentence.
