4.The correct answer is C
Only lightness fits the logic of the sentence as being contrary to the gravity of the topic. Listening to others discuss a grave topic in a light-hearted tone would be unsettling and confusing.
5.The correct answer is B
The first part of the sentence describes a cause and the second part describes resulting behavior. The literary figure desires privacy and so she finds public appearances loathsome.
6.The correct answer is D
Hyperbole is extravagant exaggeration, often not intended to be taken literally. If Marisol is prone, or has a tendency or inclination, to greatly exaggerate things or make extravagantly exaggerated statements, Enrique would know not to take seriously her statement that she was going to sleep for a week.
7.The correct answer is B
To be disconsolate is to be cheerless and dejected, or cast down in spirits. The sentence indicates that Troys spirits were very low so low, in fact, that nobody could do anything to bring him cheer. It makes sense, then, to describe Troy as disconsolate, or cheerless and dejected, after losing the election.
8.The correct answer is C
Impulsive means acting suddenly, abruptly, or without premeditation. To approve something is to consent to or confirm it. The sentence suggests that the department head was concerned about how her actions would be viewed. If she were concerned about the possibility of being considered too abrupt or thoughtless in her plans, or about thinking them through insufficiently before acting on them, she certainly might have wanted to have her plans approved by others before she implemented them, or carried them out. It makes sense to say that the department head had the advisory committee members confirm or sanction her plans so that she would not be considered impulsive.
