Schlesinger has recently assumed a conciliatory attitude that is not ------- by his colleagues who continue to ------ compromises.
(A) eschewed. .dread (B) shared. .defend © questioned. .reject (D) understood. .advocate (E) commended. .disparage
I think answer is (D). Am I correct?
No, it can’t be D. “conciliatory attitude that is not understood by his colleagues” is not compatible with “who continue to advocate compromises”.
Dozy,
Dose “assumed a conciliatory attitude” signal that “Schlesinger making compromises”?
Yes.
Schlesinger has recently assumed a conciliatory attitude that is not understood by his colleagues who continue to reject compromises.
Is the sentence fit now?
That makes sense but it isn’t one of the original options. However, it has given you the general meaning from which you might be able to work out which of the test answers fit.
