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.

Very few adults boast that no one can understand a word they say, but quite a few seem proud of ------- handwriting.

A. elegant
B. stylized
C. indecipherable
D. unusual
E. legible

Answer is C

Here's Why:

The word “but” signals an opposition; some adults are NOT “proud” of speech that cannot be understood, but they are proud of handwriting which cannot be understood, which is “indecipherable.”
