Short Passage

<p>At a dinner party some time ago, a smooth and
hypersatisfied young man boasted to be that he had
just completed a round-the -world sightseeing tour in
79 days. in one jet-streamed breath, he scuttled from
St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome, via the Egyptian pyramids,
to a Cambodian jungle temple. “That’s the way to
travel,” he said. " You see everything important." When
I suggested that the way to see important things was to
walk, he almost dropped is club soda.</p>

<p>In line 1, “smooth” most nearly means
A crafty
B velvety
C gentle
D dull
E suave</p>

<p>The answer is E, but where do you see the clue that suggest the man is suave?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>The definition of suave is “smoothly agreeable and courteous.” Besides, none of the other words fit the context/implied meaning.</p>

<p>No other word works.</p>

<p>the answer can’t be A C or D…i think you have found out that.the other options are B velvety which literally means smooth and E suave whose meaning I don’t know…but as you know sat writers almost all the time use literal meaning to lure you into that choice which is incorrect in the word test in passages,that’s why i would choose E suave,even though i don’t know what does it mean :frowning:
so the choice would be E anyway</p>

<p>Thank you. I had the wrong definition of suave.</p>

<p>^^Out of curiosity, what was your definition?</p>

<p>clever looking</p>
