OE


The transition word yet suggests that, despite being twins,
the two sisters were very different. One is described as
sanguine, which context implies is the ability to remain
upbeat even in times of stress. The other is described as
choleric, which context describes as prone to angry
outbursts. The transition word while emphasizes the contrast
between the sisters. What’s being described here are
personality traits, so the noun in the blank modified by
choleric should be something like “personality” or
“disposition.” Eliminate genotype, referring to genetic
makeup, and environment, referring to one’s surroundings.
[P]hysiognomy, referring to facial features, and incarnation,
meaning embodiment, don’t work either. The correct answer
is temperament and humor
