Ramona had never visited Niagara Falls, but she could appreciate their splendor ------ through the descriptions of others.

(A) vicariously (B) heedlessly

(C) innocuously (D) mystically (E) voluminously Ramona hadnt visited Niagara Falls but "could appreciate their splendor," so the word that fills the blank must be an adverb whose definition has to do with appreciating something indirectly, "through the descriptions of others" (based on their experiences). Choice (A) is correct because to experience something "vicariously" is to experience it through imaginative participation in the actual experience of someone else.

(A) concentration . . incidental (B) disagreement . . incongruous (C) collaboration . . predictable (D) hostility . . dazzling (E) cooperation . . remarkable

Choice (E) is the only pair of words that logically completes this sentence. The "adversarial" attitude of the team members would suggest that working together would be quite difficult, or that "cooperation" would be "impossible"; given the project's bad start, its ultimate success would be "remarkable" because nobody would have expected it.

His joy, or ebullience, might certainly be curbed, or tempered, by the fact that his father could not be present for the special occasion.
