Unlike the _____ water conditions common at northern beaches, southern beaches are relatively _____.

  • A.pure … clean
  • B.salty ... cool
  • C.windy … shallow
  • D.violent ... calm

Answer: D

Correct answer: violent … calm

Unlike demands a contrast, so the two blanks must be opposites, and both must describe water conditions.

Only violent … calm is a genuine pair of opposites. Pure … clean and sublime … elevated-style pairings are near-synonyms, which the sentence structure forbids; salty … cool and windy … shallow name unrelated properties, so no contrast is set up at all.
