readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A
direct
B
ambiguous
C
angry
D
lengthy
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The passage describes "neither confirming nor denying" while leaving room for change. "Ambiguous" means unclear, fitting this deliberately vague response.
Choice A is incorrect because "direct" contradicts neither confirming nor denying. Choice C is incorrect because "angry" doesn't describe strategic vagueness. Choice D is incorrect because "lengthy" refers to length, not clarity.
