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.

Harold, far from being a ------- , was not ------- to take a person holding opposing political views into his household.

A. convert . . accustomed
B. bigot . . loath
C. fanatic . . susceptible
D. recluse . . sympathetic
E. persecutor . . inclined

Correct Answer: B

Here's Why:

Only “bigot . . . loath” logically completes the sentence. Someone who is not bigoted, or prejudiced, would not be “loath,” or unwilling, to accept someone with different opinions.


Difficulty: Medium
Question Type: Sentence Completions

(Critical Reading)
