PASSAGE
The nonprofit made _____ contributions to disaster relief efforts.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. no
B. substantial✓ Correct
C. illegal
D. small
Detailed Answer Explanation
Choice B is the best answer. "Substantial" is correct because it means "of considerable size or value." The context clues in the passage indicate that this meaning best completes the sentence logically.
Why others are wrong: A ("No" means "not any," which doesn't fit the context.), C ("Illegal" means "against the law," which doesn't fit the context.), D ("Small" means "little," which doesn't fit the context.).
