In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for enhancing workplace productivity. Proponents argue that AI-driven systems can automate repetitive tasks, freeing human workers to focus on more creative and strategic activities. Critics, however, caution that reliance on AI may inadvertently lead to job losses, reduced human oversight, and a potential erosion of essential skills. Despite these concerns, many companies are implementing AI tools, citing evidence of increased efficiency and cost savings. The long-term impact of this shift, however, remains uncertain.

Choose TWO words that best complete the sentence and produce sentences with equivalent meaning:

Explanation:
The phrase “although...sharply critical” shows contrast—meaning the tone seemed milder or indirect, but the message was still harsh.
Sarcastic and biting both describe indirect forms of criticism that sound polite or witty, but carry sharp meaning underneath.
Words like conciliatory, diplomatic, and tactful suggest gentle or peace-making tone, which contradicts “sharply critical.”
Abrasive is too overt—it doesn't contrast with the message being "sharply critical," it aligns with it.
💡 This is a classic GRE trap—watch out for contrast signals like “although” and focus on subtle tone clues.

✅ Correct Answer
ambiguous and equivocal
Explanation:
The key clue is: "vague promises... little substance".
Ambiguous and equivocal both describe language that’s unclear or open to multiple interpretations, perfectly matching the tone.
Cryptic might seem tempting, but it suggests something deliberately mysterious or coded—not vague in a corporate setting.
Lucid, articulate, and candid all suggest clarity, which contradicts the sentence’s meaning.
💡 Always anchor your word choices to the core tone of the sentence, especially when it implies lack of clarity or insincerity.
