Choose the pair that completes the sentence: 'Although the plan seemed ____ at first, it turned out to be quite ____ .'
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. risky ... safe
- Step 1: 'Although' signals a contrast between the first impression and the result. Step 2. Only 'risky ... safe' gives opposite ideas. Answer: risky ... safe. Why not the others: The other pairs repeat the same idea, which would not need 'although'.
