Discussion
“The dress _________ her so well that they all immediately _________ her on her appearance.”
The words that best fill the blanks in the above sentence are
Answer: D
The blanks take complemented, complimented.
Complement means to go well with something or complete it, so a dress that suits its wearer complemented her. Compliment means to praise, so the onlookers complimented her on her appearance. The two verbs sound the same and differ by one letter, which is the whole test.
'Complemented' in the second blank would say the people completed her appearance, not that they praised it. 'Complimented' in the first blank would have the dress praising her. That rules out every pairing except the one that uses complemented first and complimented second.
