Only holders of foreign passports used to be allowed to go to international schools in China: children of expat workers or the foreign- born offspring of Chinese returnees. Chinese citizens are still _(95) [illicit] from attending such outfits, but more recently a new type of school has proliferated on the mainland, __ (96)_ [proposing] an international curriculum to Chinese nationals planning to study at foreign universities. Question: What will be value at (95)?

elicited
apprehended
prohibit
Forbidden

Correct answer: Forbidden

Solution

The sentence structure is: 'Chinese citizens are still _(95) from attending such outfits'. The blank needs an adjective. 'illicit' is wrong (it means illegal, not prohibited-from). 'Forbidden' = not permitted, fits perfectly ('are still forbidden from attending'). 'Prohibit' is a verb, not an adjective.
