One ____ the new scheme is that it might actually ____ just those applicants that it was intended to encourage.

  • A.highlight of - stimulate
  • B.feature of - attract
  • C.drawback of - daunt
  • D.problem with - induce

Answer: C

Correct answer: drawback of - daunt

The second blank is fixed by the ending: the scheme was intended to encourage applicants, so whatever it does to them instead must be the opposite of encouraging. Daunt is the only such word offered - stimulate, attract and induce all point the same way as encouragement.

Once the second blank is negative, the first must be too, and drawback of follows naturally. Highlight and feature would be at odds with an unwanted effect.
