A,D This question contains a subtle detour road sign, “not.” The student spent hours preparing, so you’re looking for something similar in meaning to “unprepared.” Choice (A) unaware is pretty close, so hold on to that one. Choice (D) unrehearsed works perfectly, since it would imply he hadn’t prepared properly. Choices ( B) easily, ( C) quickly, and (E) early all give the sentence the same meaning. None of these words captures the idea that the student wants to be prepared “for every possible question.” Preparing just a little would prevent him from being caught in an error right away. Eliminate both of these. Choice (F) red-handed is a trap answer. The subject is a graduate student, not a thief, so “caught red-handed” doesn’t work in this context.
