Если вы считаете задания сборников Цт за последние лет 5 относительно простыми, то советую присмотреться к книгам Маслова Ю.В. и Масловой М.Е. В экзаменационных материалах всегда есть вероятность встретиться с относительно редко встречающимися словами. Книги вышеупомянутых авторов всегда отличались широким подбором лексики. Предлагаемое упражнение основано на лексике одной из книг этих замечательных авторов. Это книга не единственная у них, но опубликованы они достаточно давно и о них начинают не заслуженно забывать.
