it would be better if you have not highlighted the answers with RED.

Agree with sham.

Because it may interrupt the own thought of a reader and he may be guided by your idea. However, I may be wrong. But I have faced such problem. I think you can provide the questions first and after some responses, you can reveal the OAs and your view.

Agree with mafaisal and sham and i had dropped a comment regarding this in your earlier posts as well !

1. He would ___ no arguments, and to this end he enjoined us to ___.
A) brook ... silence
B) acknowledge ... neglect
C) broach ... abstinence
D) fathom ... secrecy
E) tolerate ... defiance

For first blank...option A,B and E look good...but for the second blank...
Option A - silence is not very apt here as if one cannot brook any argument he will not remain silent...

Out of B and E...i think B is better as "Neglect" is a verb and "Defiance" is a noun...if he persuades all to do something...then i guess verb is better

I hope i am correct !
