Select the word you consider most appropriate for the blank space and indicate your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly :

Many people today have fallen into utter confusion of values with the result that they cannot __________ the good from the bad.

  • A.divide
  • B.differentiate
  • C.see
  • D.alter

Answer: B

The most appropriate word is differentiate: they cannot differentiate the good from the bad.

To differentiate one thing from another is to recognise the difference between them, which is what people confused about values cannot do. The verb also takes the pattern differentiate X from Y that the sentence uses.

Divide means to split into parts, see does not take from in this sense, and alter means to change. None of them expresses telling good and bad apart.
