GRE Verbal Challenge Question:
Q: Even rigidly traditional instructors are finding the new method difficult to ________; its implementation reinforces basics while preparing trainees for more difficult tasks with considerable efficiency.
A) endorse
B) hinder
C) fault
D) engender
E) Propose
Explanation:
Correct Choice: (C)
The sentence is positive about the new method, so you can predict it is difficult to "criticize."
Choice (C), fault, fits the prediction because it is a synonym for criticize.
Choice (A), endorse, means support and is the opposite of what you are looking for.
Choice (E), propose, is also positive and the opposite of what is needed.
Choice (B), hinder, means to prevent from taking action, and there's no evidence in the sentence that the instructors are trying to hold back the new method.
Choice (D), engender, means to cause something to happen, and there's no evidence that the instructors are trying to cause the new method, either. The new method is already in place, and the blank relates to the instructors' opinion of it.
