GRE Verbal Reasoning QUESTION #8029
Question 1
The true significance of the Magna Carta lies not in its _______ provisions, but in its broader impact: it established the principle that the king was subject to the law.
  • specific✔️
  • revolutionary
  • implicit
  • finite
Correct Answer Explanation
The sentence contrasts 'specific provisions' with 'broader impact.' Specific fits because the document's lasting importance is not in its particular details but in the sweeping principle it established. 'Revolutionary' would make the provisions sound important, contradicting the contrast. 'Implicit' and 'finite' don't fit the contrast as naturally.
