PASSAGE

The leader made _____ contributions to the independence movement.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A. harmful
B. secret
C. no
D. significant✓ Correct

Detailed Answer Explanation

Choice D is the best answer. "Significant" is correct because it means "of great importance." The context clues in the passage indicate that this meaning best completes the sentence logically.

Why others are wrong: A ("Harmful" means "causing damage," which doesn't fit the context.), B ("Secret" means "hidden," which doesn't fit the context.), C ("No" means "not any," which doesn't fit the context.).
