OE

B The blank describes what the couple thought about the values represented in traditional services. The clue is modern. The transition word more indicates that the word for the blank is an opposite of the clue, so use “old-fashioned” as a word for the blank. Choices (A), (D), and (E)— bigoted, ineloquent, somber— can be eliminated because they don’t match “old-fashioned.” For (C), while something that is dogmatic may be old-fashioned, the word means a belief that is established, which may not be old-fashioned, so eliminate (C). The correct answer is (B), archaic.
