<p>With its large circulation, Essence magazine has enjoyed___________ only recently challenged by new publications aggressively seeking female African American readers.</p>
<p>a) an aggregation
b)an inclination
c)a prognosis
d)a retrenchment
e) a preeminence </p>
<p>Answer is...............
E</p>
<p>What is the source of this question?</p>
<p>“preeminence” means “dominance,” and is supported by the phrase “its large circulation,” which means it has many customers and subscribers.</p>
<p>Preeminence means it is dominant, as suggested by its “wide circulation”</p>
<p>When I read this question(and did it without looking at the answer) I first crossed off b and c because an inclination would mean it’s inclined to do something, and prognosis is a future outlook usually in medicine.</p>
<p>Then, I read the answer choices a d e. Aggregation… a large group… perhaps of subscribers? I’ll leave it there. Retrenchment… hmm… sounds like trench or something negative. probably not it but I’ll leave it. crap… I’m getting cold feet. preeminent ? Heck yes. thank the heavens I don’t need to choose between a and d. and that’s how you get E (well that’s how I would. if you’ve mastered all the words completely, maybe you can get the answer after just reading it once)</p>
<p>I think the answer is E</p>

<p>got another question 
The first moon explorers were rarely expansive in describing their surroundings; on the contrary,their reports tended to be…</p>
<p>A) laconic
B) histrionic
C)Cohesive’s
D)Extemporaneous
E)Implacable</p>
<p>answer is A.
Well i know that by elimination it’s A , but my question is about something else.
Since there’s is contrast to “rarely expansive” i thought the i need a word that means expansive and detailed but obviously didn’t found … Why the answer is “Laconic” which is the complete opposite? May you tell me why I’m wrong? </p>
<p>Their statements were “rarely” expansive–on the contrary, they were–the opposite of expansive.</p>
<p>As in, “Astronauts are rarely fat; on the contrary, they tend to be quite thin.”</p>
<p>Ahaaaa thank you :D</p>
