Today’s SAT Question of the Day is a sentence completion about our sense of smell.  Evidently, “our sense of smell is surprisingly ——- , capable of distinguishing thousands of […] odors.”

Our sense of smell, then, is…good? Nuanced? Very capable?  Any of these predictions should lead you to the correct answer.

Of the answer choices, I’m sure you’ll know “rigid”, which can go.  You might remember “inert” from chemistry (can also go), and you might see that “erratic” starts the same as “error”, so even though they don’t mean the same thing you can guess that it doesn’t mean “very capable”.  “Keen” is the correct answer, and “innate” is a great word to know for both sentence completions and your essay – look it up now if you’re not already familiar!
