readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A
vague
B
precise
C
compelling
D
original
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The text states the plan lacked "specific financial projections." Therefore, it was "vague" (of uncertain, indefinite, or unclear character).
Choice B is incorrect because "precise" is the opposite. Choice C is incorrect because "compelling" means convincing, which the text says it was not. Choice D is incorrect because "original" refers to novelty.
