An example of a Sentence Correction Question

Directions for Question: Select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.

Although it does contain some pioneering ideas, one would hardly characterize the work as __________.1. orthodox2. eccentric3. original4. trifling5. conventional6. innovative
