Answer: B

PASSAGE

The critic offered a _____ interpretation of the classic play.

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

A. wrong
B. fresh✓ Correct
C. boring
D. traditional

Detailed Answer Explanation

Choice B is the best answer. "Fresh" is correct because it means "new and different." The context clues in the passage indicate that this meaning best completes the sentence logically.

Why others are wrong: A ("Wrong" means "incorrect," which doesn't fit the context.), C ("Boring" means "not interesting," which doesn't fit the context.), D ("Traditional" means "following established customs," which doesn't fit the context.).
