To ____(i)____ people accurately, census workers must be ____(ii)____: because there are often residents of a household with the same name,
or people whose names have unusual spellings, workers who are anything less than ____(iii)____ in following correct procedures and
reviewing cases may result in the same resident getting counted multiple times, or even not at all.
Blank 1 Blank 2 Blank 3
Rectify derivatives meticulous
tally fastidious perfunctory
impute industrious inexact
tally, fastidious, and meticulous
The first blank describes what census workers do to people, so you need a word for the blank that means count. Of the choices, only tally means count. The second blank describes accurate census workers; the part after the colon outlines some of the problems associated with not paying attention to details, so a word that means something like attentive to details would make sense. Of the choices, fastidious is the best fit. The third blank, like the second, describes the ideal census worker, so once again you need something that means attentive to details. Of the choices, only meticulous means attentive to detail; both perfunctory and inexact are nearly the opposite of what you need.
