wise:sage

a. craven:knight

b. erudite:leader

c. judicious:mediator

d. propitious:mendicant

e. sensual:volupuary

book logic:
a sage is some one who is wise similarly, by defination, a voluptuary is someone who is sensual

??why cant it be "C"? a sage is wise, a mediator is judicious.

dirge:mourning

a. affliction:adversity

b. mirth:entertainment

c. laughter:merriment

d. lamentation:funeral

e. baffle:sound

book logic: a dire is verbal form of mourning, usually in the form of a song sung at a funeral.similarly, laughter is the verbal expression of merriment.

???why cant it be "B"?i feel B and C are both one and the samething.i cant notice the subtle difference

plan:scheme

a. symphony:concerto

b. annoyance:evasion

c. statesmanolitician

d. assignment:task

e. prison:jail

book logic: a scheme is a plan with sinister connotations. of the choices here is statesman is a politician with negative connotations.

???i marked "D" its wrong.is it not presumtious to say dat politician is a negative connotation?

the primary___ of the region's cuisine, such as beans, legumes and pasta, provide high levels of complex carbohydrates and often ___ meat as the primary source of protien in the diet.

a. requirements...supplements

b. components...replace

c. fads...subjoin

d. facet...duplicate

e. ingridients...indemnify

book logic: the noun cud be B or E but indemnify(to pay for a loss)makes no sense at all, whereas replace is a resonable choice.

???how can carbohydrates REPLACE protiens? according to me "A" is a better option.Or does da author mean dat in addition to protiens, beans etc, also have carbohydrates?

1. A mediator need not be judicious (one who is prudent or good judgement); A mediator just might bring the conflicting parties together for a discussion or a resolution.

But a voluptuary by definition is a sensualist.

2. Am not sure; Dirge is an expression of mourning; mirth is not an expression - it is merriment often expressed by laughter. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=mirth
C fits better.

3. Dunno; maybe they had indian politicians in mind.

4. For the first blank, only ingredients or components fit. Legumes, beans .... can't be requirements of a cuisine. That leaves us with B / E.

Indemnify - compensate for; Beans, legume.. compensate for meat as protein source - doesn't make sense.

Rather, beans, legumes not only are source of complex carbs., but also replace meat as protein source.

Well beans aren't carbohydrates.
Must admit one thing... this one was pretty confusing. Especially the statesment one. I wouldn't have EVER thought of that. To tell you the truth it still doesn't sound right to me... and that's scary !

sweetdreams2k1 's dreams are becoming reality.
For the SC:
"The primary___ of the region's cuisine, such as beans, legumes and pasta, provide high levels of complex carbohydrates and often ___ meat as the primary source of protien in the diet."

Vegetarians use beans as a source of protein to replace the protein they would have consumed eating meat. So, beans are most likely replacing the meat.
