하... 지문도 크게 어렵지 않고 논리 파악도 되는데 자꾸 틀리니까 답답하네요.
정답은 reduce, misguided, captivated입니다.
reduce랑 captivated는 문제 없이 잘 고를 수 있었는데요 저는 두번째 빈칸을 provocative로 골랐어요.
cynical은 안되는거 알겠고, misguided랑 고민하다가,
앞에서 쭉 언급된 ferry의 좋은점이 misguided notion이라는 근거는 전혀 없어보이고,
오히려 mayor가 eagerly 하게 이행했다는걸 보고 provocative를 골랐거든요.
도대체 misguided는 어디서 근거로 가져온거며, provocative는 왜 안되는지 설명 부탁드립니!
