SAT Sentence Completion Answers
1.)
B. The clue word in this sentence is "caused". The
speaker had some unintended effect on his audience. Wry means dry or twisted
humor and confusion would certainly be a potential unintended effect from this
speaking style. Hopefully, you were able to use process of elimination on many
of these answer choices as the dual words doubles the chances you will know the
meaning of at least one of the words and be able to eliminate the answer choice
if it does not fit.
2.) E.
This sentence's clue word is "because". Unheralded means unappreciated
or unnoticed. Clearly Jim was not the star of this team and was not used to
receiving accolades.
3.) C.
Although is the clue word. Choice A may have confused you if you mistook
unanimity with anonymity. This is an example of 2 words that are similar in
appearance and enunciation, but vastly different in meaning. This is also
another reason you should examine all 5 answer choices in the SAT's sentence
completion sections.
4.) D.
Did you notice the negative in "Don't"? If you missed this, you
probably selected choice C (rejoice). Choice B may have appeared inviting if you
confused the meaning of the verb "temper" with its meaning as a noun.
(As a verb, it means to make less extreme.)
5.)
A. The clue word was "While". Solace means relief. The other
answer choices simply do not work. Hopefully, you didn't waste any time trying
to determine why they didn't work. It's a simple fact of life that
many of the choices you will see on the SAT just do not make any sense and it's
not worth losing sleep over.
