Zorluk: KolayIdentifying Synonym and Near-Synonym Pairs

Although the committee's report proposed several ambitious environmental reform measures, its recommendations were ultimately deemed ________ by industry executives, who dismissed the proposed implementation timelines as completely unfeasible.

Which TWO of the following answer choices, when inserted into the blank, produce completed sentences that are most similar in meaning?

  1. impracticableCevap
  2. unworkableCevap
  3. C
    stringent
  4. D
    rigorous
  5. E
    idealistic
  6. F
    futile

Cevap

The correct choices are the words meaning unworkable and impracticable, as both complete the sentence to mean that the committee's proposed timelines cannot be feasibly carried out.
The sentence establishes that industry executives viewed the proposed timelines as 'completely unfeasible'. Both 'impracticable' and 'unworkable' mean not capable of being carried out or put into practice successfully. Inserting either word completes the sentence with the exact same logical meaning.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze sentence context and transition signals
The pivot 'Although' contrasts 'ambitious environmental reform measures' with the executives' negative assessment that the timelines were 'completely unfeasible'.
Understanding sentence structure pinpoints the precise meaning required for the blank.
2
Determine the required target meaning
The blank requires a word that means incapable of being accomplished or carried out in practice (unfeasible/unworkable).
The word must align with the definition of 'completely unfeasible'.
3
Identify matching synonym pair among options
'impracticable' and 'unworkable' are exact synonyms that both fit the sentence context and produce equivalent meanings.
GRE Sentence Equivalence requires choosing two options that create coherent sentences with identical overall meanings.
