Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.


Their conversation was unsettling, for the gravity of their topic contrasted so oddly with the ------- of their tone.

A. uniqueness
B. rapidity
C. lightness
D. precision
E. reverence
Correct Answer: C

Here's Why:
Only “lightness” fits the logic of the sentence as being contrary to the “gravity” of the topic. Listening to others discuss a grave (or serious) topic in a light-hearted tone would be unsettling and confusing.
