<p>mstrindcwys - here is a level 3 sentence completion from the May 08 SAT:</p>
<p>Celia Tomlinson personifies _____: she overcame poverty, language barriers, and discrimination to found, own, and operate her own engineering company.
A. Tenacity
B. Nonchalance
C. Circumspection
D. Expediency
E. Munificence</p>
<p>Lets say you studied and learned the 600 or so words from the combined Direct Hits, PR and RR lists. Good news - all three had Tenacity and you would also know Nonchalance, Circumspection, and Munificence. The only word you would not know would be Expediency. </p>
<p>Now lets say you used general understanding, parts of speech and process of elimination. How would you get this one right?</p>
