In this sentence, the clue word “while” is a detour road sign. “While” indicates that the second part of the sentence will mean the opposite of the first part of the sentence. The first speaker was described as “confusing” and “unclear,” which are the key words in this question. The correct answer means the opposite.
By knowing that the blank will mean the opposite of “confusing” and “unclear,” you can predict that correct answers will be similar to “clear.” Quickly go through the six answer choices and see which two words most closely match “clear” in the context of speaking. In this case, these are choice (A) articulate and choice (E) eloquent.
