问题 The mayor is more ideologically consistent than is widely believed: her long-term commitment to tax reform, for example, is not indicative of______.
A perspicacity
B capriciousness
C callousness
D fickleness
E clearheadedness
F insensitivity
选项
答案B，D
解析 The first part of the sentence suggests that the mayor is widely believed to be the opposite of ideologically consistent, while the portion of the sentence following the colon provides support for the assertion that her reputation for wavering is undeserved. The blank, then, must be completed with words that mean the opposite of ideological consistency. "Capriciousness" and " fickleness" are both opposites of consistency, so they are the correct answers. Of the other possible responses, one other pairing—"insensitivity" and "callousness"—are synonyms that would yield sentences alike in meaning, while the other two choices are also close in meaning. But neither of these pairs provides the necessary contrast to consistency that the sentences structure calls for.
Thus the correct answer is capriciousness(Choice B)and fickleness(Choice D).
