Çözüldü Sentence Completion - Vocabulary (New GRE Style)

Which two words of the following choices would be the best for the blank?

While athletes usually expect to achieve their greatest feats in their teens or twenties, opera singers don't reach the ________ of their vocal powers until middle age.

A) harmony
B) zenith
C) acme
D) terminus
E) nadir
F) cessation

Correct Choice: B and C
Official Explanation:
Those with strong vocabularies might go straight to the choices to make pairs. Zenith and acme are synonyms, meaning “high point, peak.” Terminus and cessation are synonyms meaning “end.” Nadir is a low point and harmony is present here as a trap answer reminding you of opera singers. Cross off (A) and (E), since they do not have partners. Then, go back to the sentence, knowing that your only options are a pair meaning “peak” and a pair meaning “end.” The correct answer choices are (B) and (C).
