PP1 (Shorter) Verbal Section 2 (Easy) Q10

<p><span style="color:#8e44ad;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Pairing Up</span></span></p> <p>First things first. We use the <span style="color:#8e44ad;"><strong>Pairing Strategy</strong></span> to identify any synonym pairs among the six answer choices.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Pair 1:</strong> inscrutable/uninformative (both mean we can&#39;t understand anything useful)</li> </ul> <p>There&#39;s only one pair here, so we can eliminate the other answer choices: <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><s>astonishing</s></span>, <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><s>disordered</s></span>, <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><s>harmless</s></span>, and <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><s>revealing</s></span>.</p> <p><span style="color:#27ae60;"><span style="font-size:20px;">The Right Answer</span></span></p> <p>We can use Math Strategy to figure out the blank. There is a contrast happening with the &quot;but&quot;; on the right-hand side, the idea is that &quot;dreams tell us much&quot;, so the left-hand side should convey the opposite idea. The Blank should be something like &quot;doesn&#39;t tell us much&quot;.</p> <p>The best (and only) match for this is the pair <span style="color:#27ae60;">inscrutable/uninformative</span>.</p>
