In a........society that worships efficiency, it is difficult for a sensitive and idealistic
person to make the kinds of.............decisions that alone spell success as it is defined by
such a society.


A) bureaucratic.......edifying
B) pragmatic.......hardheaded
C) rational....well-intentioned
D) competitive.......even-handed
E) modern.......dysfunctional


The answer is E. would anyone out there please explain the meaning of the sentence?

Thanks

think for the first blank few words are appropriate since they comply with efficient, but the second part wants to tell us that some idealistic individuals find it hard to make irrational or inefficient decisions,since these decisions are not considered successful by such society...hope makes sense

Hmmmm...a difficult one...can you tell me where did you find this question. in my opinion the correct answer should be (B).
Explanation:
About the general meaning of the sentence,
1. It talks about a society that worships efficiency i.e OUTPUT.
2. The decisions suited for this kind of society are difficult to be made by a sensitive n idealistic person (here keep in mind that an idealistic person is one who sticks to his ideas n not practical in approach)

so now based on above assumptions, 2 questions come in to mind.
1. What kind of society worship efficiency?? Answer may be PRAGMATIC,COMPETITIVE & MODERN.
2.What kind of decisions r difficult for a sensitive n idealistic person to make?? Answer would be PRACTICAL. And looking in to second blank HARDHEADED means practical, evenhanded means impartial & dysfunctional means malfunctional.

.....SO WHAT DO you SAY????
