Discussion
Some critics maintain that Tennyson’s poetry is uneven, ranging from the ____ to the ____.
Answer: A
Correct answer: trite - inspired
The key word is uneven. Poetry described as ranging from one extreme to another must be given two words that are opposites, and one of them must be unfavourable.
Trite (stale, over-familiar) and inspired supply exactly that range. The other three pairs are synonym pairs - succinct/laconic both mean brief, sublime/elevated both praise, vacuous/inane both condemn - and a range needs two ends, not one.
