<p>I’m confused:</p>
<p>The senator has a ------ personality: His confidence and demeanor impress at first glance.
a.) preposessing
b.) varied
c.) consummate
d.) haughty
e.) pallid</p>
<p>The answer is A, because preposessing means creating a favorable impression/attractive. But why couldn’t it be C, because consummate means extremely skilled or accomplished of the highest degree?</p>
<p>because it says “impress at first glance”. C is ok, but A is the better choice</p>
<p>“at first glance” is an important part of the sentence</p>
<p>so do you mean because he was looked at from a first glance, that he was not given a chance to present his accomplishments/skills?</p>
<p>also, consummate is not a word that is usually used to describe personality, while prepossising is.</p>
