1. c. To be outmoded is to be old-fashioned or out-of date. The designer window treatments may also be unnecessary, pointless, or even worthless.
However, the key to the meaning is the context — that is, the phrase installed 17 years ago.
2. c. Something that is wearisome is tiresome or boring. The key to the meaning here is the
phrase they regularly put students to sleep.
3. a. To be spiteful is to be vengeful or vindictive. The keys here are the word malice and the
phrase almost ruined the referee’s career.
4. d. When something is done obdurately, it is done in an inflexible or intractable manner,
or stubbornly. The key here are the words willful young man.
5. b. A superficial remark is insignificant and shallow, or petty. The key here is the word
trivialized.
6. a. To be ostracized is to be banished or excluded. The key here is the phrase usually loyal
friends, who had never shunned her before.
7. b. Something that is flamboyant is flashy or showy. The keys here are the words usually
described as flamboyant and but…uncharacteristically modest.
8. b. To be gullible means to be easy to fool or naïve. The keys here are the words outlandish
excuses and insincere employees.
9. a. A prerequisite is something that is necessary or required. The fact that you can’t become a
certified teacher without completing the student teaching assignment means that it is
required. The other choices do not imply a hard and fast rule.
10. c. To be diligent is to be painstaking or thorough.
