(OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q6, Medium)
Ever a demanding reader of the fiction of others, the novelist Chase was likewise often the object of ______ analyses by his contemporaries.
(A) exacting
(B) copious
(C) respectful
(D) acerbic
(E) scathing
(F) meticulous
KEY: AF
关键词：likewise表示同义空格中应该填人一个形容词，表示Chase作品所受到的来自于其同时代人们给予的研究是什么样子的。Likewise表示“正如……一样”，因而，前后两句话是同义关系，没有否定词，因而对应词语之间是同义词关系，Chase对于别人作品的态度即是别人对待他作品的态度。词语解释：
[1].(A) exacting：(苛求的)tryingly or unremittingly severe in making demands
[2]. (B) copious：(丰富的)yielding something abundantly
[3]. (C) respectful：(令人尊敬的)marked by or showing respect or deference
[4]. (D) acerbic：(酸腐的)acid in temper, mood, or tone
[5]. (E) scathing：(严厉的)bitterly severe

(OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q7, Medium)
Her ______ should not be confused with miserliness; as long as I have known her, she has always been willing to assist those who are in need.
(A) stinginess
(B) diffidence
(C) frugality
(D) illiberality
(E) intolerance
(F) thrift
KEY: CF
关键词：be confused with表示否定，分号表示复指空格中应该填入一个名词，表示“她”所具有的一种特质。而这种特质往往会被confused with miserliness，这里be confused with与not两个表示否定的结构同时存在，因而对应词语应该是同义关系。而本题中miserliness表示“不大方、吝啬之意”，选项中有两组都可以表示“不大方”的同义词，因此应该选什么，要看后半句说了什么。后半句与前半句通过分号连接，因而是复指关系，后半句说“她”实际上并不是一个吝啬之人，而是非常热心帮助别人的人，在后半句中对于这个“她”是一个正评价，因此在前半句中对于“她”的描述也应该通过复指关系前后一致的特点，选取一组相对正的评价填进去。词语解释：
[1]. (A) stinginess：(吝啬)not generous or liberal : sparing or scant in using, giving, or spending(贬义词)
[2]. (B) diffidence：(没自信)the quality or state of being hesitant in acting or speaking through lack of self-confidence
[3].(C) frugality：(节俭)characterized by or reflecting economy in the use of resources
[4]. (D) illiberality：(吝啬)not generous : STINGY(贬义词)
[5]. (E) intolerance：(缺乏容忍)the quality or state of being intolerant
[6].(F) thrift：(节约)careful management especially of money
(OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q8, Medium)
A misconception frequently held by novice writers is that sentence structure mirrors thought: the more convoluted the structure, the more _______ the ideas.
(A) complicated
(B) engaged
(C) essential
(D) fanciful
(E) inconsequential
(F) involved
KEY: AF
关键字：冒号解释说明前半句说句子结构mirrors思想，这里mirror不仅表示“反映”之意，还表示更深层次的“相同”的感觉。因而后半句用冒号对前文进行解释说明时也应该反映出这种“一致”的感觉。因而用来修饰结构的词语就可以直接迁移至修饰ideas即可。词语解释：
[1].(A) complicated：复杂的(consisting of parts intricately combined)
[2]. (B) engaged：忙碌的(involved in activity)
[3]. (C) essential：必要的(of, relating to, or constituting essence)
[4]. (D) fanciful：奇怪的(marked by fancy or unrestrained imagination rather than by reason and experience)
[5]. (E) inconsequential：不重要的(of no significance)
[6].(F) involved：复杂的(marked by extreme and often needless or excessive complexity)
