Question 93

The manners and _ of the nouveau riche is a recurrent ___ in the literature

Solution

We need to find two words. The first should logically pair with "manners" (i.e., something that, along with manners, characterises people). The second should make sense with "a recurrent _______ in literature" (i.e., something that recurs in literary works).

Of the choices presented for the first blank, morals is the best fit. "manners and morals" is a strong and meaningful pairing. For the second blank, of "story " and theme", "theme" is a better choice, because "recurrent theme" is a perfect fit in a literary context. "recurrent story" (option B) is less idiomatic than "theme" or "motif." Literature usually has recurring themes, not stories per se. "recurrent motif" (Option A) works too (a motif is a recurring element in literature), but "style" is as deep or moral/behavioural as "manners." "manners and wealth"(Option C) is a less natural pairing; wealth is more of a status than a personal trait like manners.

So the best choice is Option D.
