<p>Could someone explain how u would come up with the right answer for this question:</p>

<li>Opponents of the research institute label it _______ anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have ______ rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility.</li>
</ol>

<p>(A) an elitist…perquisites
(B) a monarchical…tribulations
(C) an irreproachable…luxuries
(D) a reprehensible…afflicitions
(E) a commendable…privilages</p>

<p>Especially the first blank makes no sense…I had no idea how to apporach this question (without knowing what anachronism means). Any help would be nice :)</p>

2

<p>I would put D because anachronism refers to something old that is no longer in use.</p>

3

<p>A.....perquisities are like privileges</p>

4

<p>ooh, that makes sense, I just looked up the definition of afflictions</p>

5

<p>yeahhhh definitely A</p>
