Question 3 Explanation:
The element that needs to be kept in mind here is that we have been surprised by the seventh-grader, when he performed really well. This means that we need a negative word for the first blank. Where do we find this negative word? In options C and D. Option C is too negative in the given case, and therefore, option D is the appropriate answer.

adulation | |
fortification | |
understanding |
Question 4 Explanation:
This is fairly simple question, as the clue for the blank is given in the second half of the sentence: the word admiration. This word tells us that the word in the first blank has to be that of praise, and that praise is what we find in option B.
Question 5 |
Purves's article claims that we in the west are "looking eastward in disgust". I believe that disgusted parties would do well to turn their _______ gazes on their own societies.

Question 5 Explanation:
What kinds of gazes are being talked about here? Ones that are judging others, ones that are critiquing others and creating unnecessary opinions. This makes option B the best answer in this case. Critical is an option which comes close, but we need a word with an out and out negative bias, and that is best reflected by option B.
