The Official SAT Question of the Day™

Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.


Joe Louis was ------- fighter: he inspired fear in many of his opponents.

A a serene
B an impetuous
C an insipid
D a malleable
E a redoubtable

Answer is E

Here's Why:

The colon introduces an explanation, an illustration, or a restatement of the first part of the sentence. “Redoubtable” is the best choice because it accurately describes someone who “inspires fear” in others.


Difficulty: Medium
Question Type: Sentence Completions
