Question: 167
- A. NO CHANGE
- B. adversity.
- C. deadlines.
- D. maladies.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B
Difficulty: Medium
Category: Development: Word Choice
Getting to the Answer: Read the sentences surrounding the word to look for context clues. Watch out for near synonyms that are not quite correct. The word "issues" is not precise and does a poor job of conveying the meaning of the sentence. A better word, such as (B), "adversity," more precisely conveys hardship, difficulties, or painful situations.
