Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about Roman emperors; the sentence gives us all the information we need. What does it tell us about this Hadrian guy? Well, we know that he spent time traveling throughout Rome’s territory and personally ensuring that the government of each province was operating efficiently. Let’s use that clue to come up with a word for the blank. Since he cared about the government of each province, our word can be something like “provincial.” Now let’s do some POE. Does (A), foreign, mean “provincial?” Nope; in fact, foreign is the opposite of Rome’s territory, where Hadrian was traveling. Cross it off. Same with (B), dubious. Since municipal sort of matches “provincial,” put a check mark next to (C). (D), inconsequential, doesn’t match with our word, nor does (E). Cross both of them off. The answer is (C).
