Homework Solution

1. Because they had expected the spacecraft Voyager 2 to be able to gather data only about the planets Jupiter and Saturn, scientists were ------- the wealth of information it sent back from Neptune twelve years after leaving Earth.
   • disappointed in
   • concerned about
   • confident in
   • elated by
   • anxious for

Warning

I’d chosen anxious for, it was wrong logically: there’s no different between anxious for and concerned about so we can eliminate both of them.

also scientists always become happy with information so why not elated by

5. The Gibsons were little given to --- … in any form; not one of them was afraid of -------, of being and seeming unlike their neighbors.
   • humility..absurdity
   • excellence..mediocrity
   • anger..confrontation
   • conformism..singularity
   • ostentation..eccentricity

Note

I couldn’t solve it myself.

Let’s start with the second sentence “not one of them was afraid of -------, of being and seeming unlike their neighbors” the comma means support and the second part mean like to be different so back to the first part you shouldn't be afraid of being different

different may be singularity or eccentiricity . <I don’t know both words btw at this time>, so 4th or 5th choice.

so the phrase become The Gbisons. were little given to .... , they are different from others

now we should choose between conformism and ostentation.

conformism means “being similar”, that’s the right one. They don’t like following the crowd but like to be different.
