Critical Reading > Sentence Completions

Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Joe Louis was ------- fighter: he inspired fear in many of his opponents.

Answer Choices

(A) a serene
(B) an impetuous
(C) an insipid
(D) a malleable
(E) a redoubtable

Answer

The colon introduces an explanation, an illustration, or a restatement of the first part of the sentence. “Redoubtable” is the best choice because it accurately describes someone who “inspires fear” in others.
