Leadership Help
The Race to the Top initiative won’t solve this country’s education problems by itself, but it is focusing attention on the right issues and moving them up the national agenda. NY Times 		“Nations like Finland and Japan seek out the best college graduates for teaching positions, prepare them well, pay them well and treat them with respect,” she said. “They make sure that all their students study the arts, history, literature, geography, civics, foreign languages, the sciences and other subjects. They do this because this is the way to ensure good education. We’re on the wrong track.” Diane Ravitch

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

Harold, far from being a ------- , was not ------- to take a person holding opposing political views into his household.

  • (A) convert . . accustomed
  • (B) bigot . . loath
  • (C) fanatic . . susceptible
  • (D) recluse . . sympathetic
  • (E) persecutor . . inclined
Answer Below.

But every school is redeemable so long as it enjoys strong leadership, talented teachers, adequate funding, and enough hours in the day to make up for deficiencies in the home. And federal stimulus funds for education are available to those states willing to prove it. Boston Globe Editorial

B IS CORECT!Right-o! Explanation Only “bigot . . . loath” logically completes the sentence. Someone who is not bigoted, or prejudiced, would not be “loath,” or unwilling, to accept someone with different opinions.
