Question and options
The standards set by the examination board are so high that it would be difficult for poorly prepared students to __________
- pass most errors
- past muster
- get past most errors
- pass muster
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - pass muster
'Pass muster' means to meet the required standard, which fits standards set so high that poorly prepared students would struggle to reach them. 'Past muster' is a misspelling of the idiom, and 'pass most errors' and 'get past most errors' make no sense in the sentence.
