This one is a little tricky. I still think it should be E.
The plan, which the engineers said would save the aquifer by reducing pumping to ___________ levels, has passed a governmental environmental review but faces opposition from outdoor and environmental groups.
A. innocuous - This implies the aquifer wont be further harmed, but not necessarily saved.
B. feasible - Its being used obviously, exploited even.
C. practicable - same as feasible
D. minimal - possible to save a aquifer without using it to absolute minimal levels, maybe by reducing usage just a little lower than current rates
E. remedial - Specific implies it would allow the aquifer to regain its volume/health/levels
F. benign - no value added, no change in status mostly, doesnt imply reinvigoration of health.
Where am i wrong ? Someone correct me please.
Please give me kudos, i need more kudos. Thanks

OE
If the engineers think that the reduced levels will save the aquifer, they may describe the reduced levels as innocuous, minimal, remedial, or benign. Of these words, only “innocuous” and “benign” produce sentences with the same meaning. The two words “feasible” and “practicable” are similar in meaning, but do not fit the context well, because they imply that the current levels are not feasible or practicable, conflicting with the implication that the current levels, though perhaps undesirable, are nevertheless entirely feasible.
Thus, the correct answer is innocuous (Choice A) and benign (Choice F).
