Notwithstanding much educated ______, even as we speak, there is no ______ relationship between current levels of hydrocarbon output and ozone deterioration.
A. speculation. . .tenuous
B. conjecture. . .proven
C. evidence. . .speculative
D. argument. . .rational
E. confusion. . .systematic
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Choices C, D, and E, "evidence," "argument," and "confusion," respectively, disqualify them as choices based on the first word choice. The qualifier as much educated doesn’t match with argument or confusion. Educated folk tend to present, not argue; and if it was a much educated prospective, there likely wouldn’t be confusion. Considering much educated "evidence" would pretty much settle the discussion if it is truly evidence. This leaves only Choices A and B. Choice A has"tenuous" as a second word, and "weak" doesn’t fit the sentence. Choice B, "conjecture" and "proven," is the best choice.
