Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

The store manager was ------- when sales dropped for the third year in a row; that was why she ------- our department for its lack of effort.

(A) indolent . . intimidated

(B) indignant . . upbraided

(C) insolent . . exonerated

(D) indulgent . . castigated

(E) intolerant . . condoned

答案：B

解析：

The first missing term must characterize the manager’s response to a drop in sales that she sees as a result of her department’s “lack of effort.” It is logical to conclude that the store manager “upbraided,” or scolded, her employees out of indignance, or righteous anger.
