B. release. . .icon
C. expose. . .outsider
D. expatiate. . .expatriate
E. control. . .anarchist
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
We’re looking for a cause-and-effect relationship here, and that relationship has to do with the beliefs about the corrupt government and the fact that she is constantly censored. Someone who is censored has a need to present, and toward that end, Choices A, B, C, and D all qualify. Since we also know that her action involved moving, we can reduce the choices based on the second blank to Choices C and D. Further looking at the result of her actions and the subtleties of the sentence, we find that the censorship is recurring. So, in fine-tuning the first blank, we look for the word that best indicates a repetitive action. That choice is D, "expatiate," which means to speak or write at length indicating often, makingChoice D the best selection.
