Need help with a SAT CR questiion

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>It was difficult to imagine George, _________ man, as a psychiatrist; listening while others talked was not his style.
A.Voluble
B. Insensitive</p>

<p>Although the answer is A, I can’t rationalize why the answer can’t also be B. Here is my logic: An insensitive man does not have feelings or human sensibility, thus he shouldn’t be a psychiatrist, who is supposed to be a sensitive, loving person that can heal the inner mental illness of a patient. Also, an insensitive man would least likely to listen to other people’s problem because he is unfeeling by nature.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>you are answering the question based on your knowledge, and this can lower your point significantly. The part “listening while others … style” is the main clue to answer this question. Were George insensitive, he would be indifferent to other’s feelings instead of not listening while others talked. The answer therefore is A.</p>
