CRAFT AND STRUCTURE · WORDS IN CONTEXT
To many readers, the poet's later style seemed ______: after years of lush imagery, she offered short lines, plain words, and no metaphor at all.
Correct answer: D — conscious
- What is the question asking? It asks which word or phrase best fits the meaning the sentence needs.
- The clue 'deliberate irregularity' shows the rejection was chosen with awareness, so 'conscious' fits.
- So the correct answer is D (conscious).
- Why the other options are wrong:
- A (accidental): the text says the irregularity was deliberate, so it was not an accident
- B (reluctant): nothing suggests she disliked the change
- C (temporary): the text gives no sign the rejection was short-lived
Look for the contrast or continuation signal (but, although, because) that tells you which way the missing word points.
