问题 The villas and compounds that proliferated during the building boom of the 1990s were(i)______, far too(ii)______for people of average means.

选项

答案A,E

解析 The sentence talks about "villas and compounds," which are high-end properties, so the intuitive answer to Blank(ii)must be a word denoting a quality that makes these properties unsuitable or out of reach for people of average means. The answer choice that best matches this meaning is "expensive," so it is correct. The answer to Blank(i)must name the quality of the properties that makes them too expensive for people of average means; the answer choice that best meets this requirement is "opulent."
"Bucolic" may also seem a plausible choice for Blank(ii), as it denotes a quality that may not normally be associated with "people of average means." However, it is incorrect, as none of the qualities named in Blank(i)would make a property bucolic.
Thus the correct answer is opulent(Choice A)and expensive(Choice E).
