The house was built using _____ materials: wood, steel, concrete, brick, stone, and tile.

  • A.cheap
  • B.a variety of
  • C.very few
  • D.weak

Answer: B

Correct answer: a variety of

The colon introduces a list, so the blank must summarise what that list shows. Wood, steel, concrete, brick, stone and tile are six different kinds of material, and what they have in common is precisely their difference.

Very few is contradicted by the length of the list. Cheap and weak would each have to be true of steel and stone as well as of wood, and nothing in the sentence supports that.
