Quote:
If you see the common word “vacuum” similar to vacuous you may be able to associate vacuum with “empty” or “nothing in there” and realize that vacuous means “showing a lack of intelligence.” For the other answers, poignant comments would be cutting or piercing to the feelings or emotions. Perceptive comments would indicate knowledge of the subject. Soporific means boring. And optimistic shows a positive view. The only one that fits here is vacuous, choice A.
