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. 

Barbara McClintock’s systematic examination of corn demonstrated the transposition of genes, a finding that overturned entrenched beliefs and proved that ------- study may produce brilliant insights and ------- change.

Answer Choices
Want a hint?

The facts given in this sentence supply clues. Since McClintock’s work involved “systematic examination,” the missing word before “study” must be similar to systematic. Since McClintock’s work “overturned entrenched beliefs,” the missing word before “change” must be consistent with a landmark change.
