The third blank is an easy place to start, and refers to districts. The clue for the third blank is experiment with new hiring methods and that through comprehensive comparative studies… we… will be serve the needs of students but that these studies are difficult to conduct, so use “unwilling” as a word for the third blank. Choices (G) and (H) can be eliminated, because they do not match “unwilling.” The correct answer for the third blank is (I), loath. Now look at the first blank, which refers to the… debate over teacher tenure. The clue for the first blank is esoteric, and the transition word formerly indicates that the word for the first blank will be an opposite of esoteric, so use “attention” as a word for the first blank. Choice (A), which means agreement, and (B), which means anger, can be eliminated because they do not match “attention.” The correct answer for the first blank is (C), prominence. Now look at the second blank, which refers to power. The clue for the second blank is preserve academic freedom. The transition phrase necessary to prohibit describes power. If tenure is needed to prohibit… power and preserve… freedom, then the type of power in question is “centralized” power, so use “centralized” as a word for the second blank. Choices (E) and (F) can be eliminated, because they do not match “centralized.” The correct answer for the second blank is (D), autocratic. The correct answer is (C), (D), and (I).
