Question 41
Despite statistics to prove that there was a slowdown in the economy of the country, the professor was ______________ about it.
Solution
The sentence presents a contrast with the word 'despite.' The context of 'slowdown in the economy' is given, and there are statistics to prove that slowdown. Thus, we can infer that the professor still does not accept it and is in 'denial' about the slowdown. Option B is the correct answer. Being 'in denial' means to refuse to accept the truth, especially if it's harsh or uncomfortable.
