Try solving these. I got both right.

1. Cosmologist Martin Rees has cautioned that our present satisfaction with the big bang explanation for the creation of the universe may reflect the ——- of the data rather than the ——- of the theory.

A) paucity . . validity
B) genius . . accuracy
C) relevance . . scope
D) destruction . . core
E) persuasiveness . . reality​

2. Apparently the groom was very nervous: one moment he would be ——-, rambling on to his best man about silly, meaningless things, and then abruptly he would turn ——- and could not be prompted to say anything

A) garrulous . . reticent
B) grandiose . . taciturn
C) vociferous . . effusive
D) melodious . . timorous
E) munificent . . utilitarian​
1 is C, I guess.
2 is A, I didn't even check the other options. :p
Edit: 1 was tricky. :p

It's not really my fault you haven't heard of these words before. Hey, you are the guy who reads. I have barely read novels in my life.

Thanks a lot bro.Are you sure these are right.A bit explanation might help ^^
For the first transfer ..there r nine paths and for the second there r 8 as the team cant give it to themselves and the previous team leaving 8 paths for 2nd and same goes with 3rd as the team cant give it to themselves and the preceding so it becomes 9*8^n-1 ...why n-1 as 9 counts as 1st transfer and 8 counts as second in tht it wud be 9*8^1 not 9*8^2 hence we subtract 1 from n
2) there r 9*8^2 paths in 3 transfers... for the team to receive it on 3 rd transfer ...the 1s tranfer can take 8 paths(i.e excluding smarty pants and dunce) 2nd transfer it includes 7 (i.e excluding themselves,smarty pant(i.e the team they received it from) and dunce) and 3rd tranfer has 1 path namely dunce so we have 8*7*1 paths so prob=8*7/9*8^2 =7/72
3) there r 9*8^2 pathways ...For smarty pants to receive them the 1st transfer can take 9 paths as smarty pant is already excluded ..2nd transfer takes 8 path as the team itself cant be chosen and smarty pant is already not chosen hence there r 8 paths and finally 3rd transfer has 1 path for smarty pants ..so we have 9*8*1 paths prob=9*8/9*8^2=1/8
