The king’s —- decisions as a diplomat and administrator led to his legendary reputation as a just and —- ruler.
(A) quick . . capricious
(B) equitable . . wise
(C) immoral . . perceptive
(D) generous . . witty
(E) clever . . uneducated
Generally, someone with a “legendary” reputation is known for something good, as opposed to someone who is “infamous,” or “notorious.” We should figure therefore that the first blank is going to be a positive trait. That would rule out (C) for sure and probably, although not necessarily, (A) and (E). We should look at (B) and (D) to find the answer. A king would not be labeled a “witty” ruler for having made “generous” decisions. He could, however, be regarded as “wise” for having made “equitable” decisions. The answer is (B).
