GRE Question of the Day

Answer:

  1. Reverence
  2. Deference

Reverence and deference are the correct answer choices. Reverence means to have a high opinion of something, so this fits within the context. Deference means paying homage or attention, so this also fits within the sentence. Flippancy is incorrect because it means irreverence, which is the opposite of the correct answer. Impudence means audacity, so this is also incorrect. Indolence means sloth, which doesn’t make sense in this context. Finally, tenacity means stubbornness, so this is not the best answer.

Review the question

Select two answer choices that can complete the sentence and create sentences that have complimentary meaning.
