    In the question below, two sentences with one word in

    each highlighted in bold. From the options, choose the one that can replace the highlighted words in BOTH these sentences to make grammatical and contextual sense. 1. Thanks to the geography of the islands, Okinawa's populations have spent large periods of their history in relative isolation. 2.

    A chapters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B chunks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C durations Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D portions Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1 uses the word PERIODS to refer to the large durations of history which Okinawa's populations have spent relatively isolated. 2 uses the word PIECES to refer to slabs of meat that the woman was chopping off the deer. CHUNKS can replace both words to convey the requisite meanings. Thus, (b) is the right answer. A and C can only fit in 1. D can only fit in 2.
