Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

The “double feature,” which featured two films for the price of one, became popular in the 1930s as a scheme to ------- former moviegoers who had begun to stay home since the ------- of the Depression at the beginning of the decade.

A. lure . . advent
B. discourage . . end
C. dissuade . . dawn
D. perplex . . onset
E. instigate . . devastation



Correct Answer: A

Here's Why:

Choice (A) is correct. If these terms were inserted into the sentence, the sentence would read “The ‘double feature,’ which featured two films for the price of one, became popular in the 1930s as a scheme to lure former moviegoers who had begun to stay home since the advent of the Depression at the beginning of the decade.” With money scarce, many people had stopped going to movies since the “advent,” or beginning, of the Depression in the 1930s. It is logical to assume that theater owners would come up with a scheme to “lure,” or entice, these people back into the theater with the promise of a good bargain—“two films for the price of one.”
