hello, I still do not understand why it is not B and F. What exactly judmental means, and how judmental has different meaning from nice in this context ?

Oh, I think I can understand now, judgmental relates to the judgement process.
Using elimination method, I am left with A and F, and I can see that A and B are not synonym, but they do have closed meaning.

The biggest error the students make is just this: they memorize 1 million words, they look at two equal words..and boom . The GRE is done.


The strategy is to find two words ALIKE in meaning that NOT necessarily must be equal, which fit the meaning of the sentence.

That is your goal. NOT to memorize a process, words, or else. Your role is to use the logic

Why not "unconventional"? The scribes used a clever trick of using two scripts for the two languages, although nice sounds right, using two scripts might seem unconventional and ingenuous, isn't it? Moreover, I don't get the feeling that the sentence suggests that the scribes used a clever trick.

Because based on the meaning of the sentence, we do need a word that shows us the monastic had a clever, smart move in their job.

unconventional does not show us this subtle nuance.

This is a short yet tricky question. It is good as one.

There are not so many clues about. As such, when a strategy top down does not work, go for a bottom-up one or the other way around. I.E. process of elimination.

In Anglo-Saxon times, the monastic tribes made _______ distinction between Latin and texts in vernacular by assigning the former an Anglo-Caroline script and reserving the pointed insular script for texts in Old English.

During a certain period of time, someone made a distinction between X and reserving the residual way to describe the entire phenomenon to another type of script.

From this, you infer that the distinction between the first category or group (much larger and important) and the residual or other group (it is not important which is which; what is the composition of the first thing - larger - and the second thing - smaller; try to conceptualize the whole meaning. A sort of visualization of the whole scenario) is a bit blurry or not so clear.

After all , we reserved the first script to label the first and the second script to label the second BUT the latter is old but still in use.

Therefore, the difference is not so much casted or relevant.

C) pointless - here we do not have anything pointless. On the contrary, the distinction is relevant for the two groups
D) obvious - not so obvious because the monastic is clear they made something almost cunning
E) unconventional - out of scope this word
F) judgemental - out of scope.

A and B are the answer.

Always when you are pretty sure to click the right answer/s to put into the sentence and see if they have a sense in the sentence itself. reading aloud.

hope this helps.

Carcass, can you please help to translate nice in this context? How nice is similiar to subtle?

Because the meaning of nice, especially when you are making a difference like in this case between the two jobs they made, is subtle.

So it is the perfect fitalong with B.

But even if you do not know such meaning about nice, it is the only word using POE.

All the other answer choices go in the wrong or opposite direction

I hope now is clear
