Directions: Choose the word or set of words for the blank(s) that BEST fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
One of the most __________ educators in Paris, Dr. Marco Finnes ignited a controversy in 2015 by calling the city’s public schools a “Rotten Barrel” in need of __________ reform.
- disputatious, little
- outspoken, systemic
- caustic, partial
- indifferent, pretentious
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - outspoken, systemic
Calling the schools a 'rotten barrel' is outspoken, and such a description implies the need for systemic (system-wide) reform. 'Little' or 'partial' reform contradicts 'rotten barrel', and 'indifferent, pretentious' do not fit.
