QUESTION #8123
Question 1
In her later years, Bertha Pappenheim devoted herself to noble but already (i)_______ notions, always respected for her integrity, her energy, and her resolve but growing increasingly out of step and ultimately (ii)_______ even her own organization.
Correct Answer Explanation
The sentence signals that Pappenheim was out of step with her time — her ideas were dated. Anachronistic (belonging to a past era) fits blank (i) perfectly. For blank (ii), since she was out of step even with her own organization, she must have become alienated from it — estranged or separated. 'Accepted' contradicts 'out of step.' 'Appreciated by' contradicts the negative trajectory described.
