    More than one of the options to the 'complete the sentence' questions would fit. For example, a meeting could be entirely deliberate, entirely suspicious, or entirely fortuitous.

    Yes, it's often a question in quizzes like this of guessing from the available answers which one is the mostly likely, rather than the only, possible fit.

    #20 and #25, in the right context, can have all of these vocabulary words used correctly in the sentences.

    There are several multiple "correct" answers, in that in some of these questions more than one of the distractors grammatically fits. Also, some of them I got mainly because they were familiar word groups, commonly used in phrase form. 30/30. But if I'm #57 in the 30/30 group, how hard could this really be?
