Aryan Khanna answered |
The correct answer is (C) Required.
Explanation:
- The (14) blank is referring to the job that the citizen needs to get done by various municipal and government departments.
- The word "essential" means absolutely necessary, which could be a possible option, but it might not convey the exact meaning in this context.
- The word "demanded" refers to something that is forcefully requested or asked for, which doesn't fit well in this context.
- The word "required" means necessary or needed, which perfectly fits the context as it refers to the tasks that the citizen needs to get done by the departments.
- The word "desired" means something that is wished for or wanted, which might not be the best choice in this context as it may imply a preference rather than a necessity.
Therefore, the most appropriate word for Blank no. 14 is "required."

Mend means to put into good order something that is injured, damaged, or defective. mend implies making whole or sound something broken, torn, or injured.
In the last line of the passage the author wants to say that when the complaints are voiced against them, the departments rush and get panicked and start to mend.

Ancestors and dead relations were believed to punish individuals for their wrongdoings or to bring misfortune upon them. This belief was prevalent in many ancient cultures and still exists in some traditional societies today.
In these belief systems, it was thought that the spirits of deceased family members had the ability to observe the actions of the living and intervene in their lives. They were believed to have the power to cause illness, accidents, or other misfortunes as a form of punishment for immoral or unethical behavior.
The idea behind this belief was to maintain social order and ensure that individuals acted in accordance with societal norms and values. It served as a form of social control, as people were discouraged from engaging in harmful or immoral actions due to the fear of retribution from their ancestors.
Various rituals and ceremonies were performed to appease the spirits of ancestors and ensure their favor. These rituals often involved offerings, prayers, and other forms of communication with the deceased. By showing respect and reverence to their ancestors, people believed they could avoid punishment and receive blessings instead.
This belief in ancestral punishment also extended to concepts of karma and reincarnation in some cultures. It was believed that the repercussions of one's actions in this life would not only affect them but also carry over to their future lives. Therefore, behaving morally and ethically was seen as crucial for avoiding future suffering.
While these beliefs may seem outdated or superstitious to some, they continue to hold significance for many individuals and communities. They provide a sense of connection to their ancestors and serve as a reminder of the importance of living a virtuous life.

Explanation:
- The passage talks about how something that has happened in the last twenty years has surpassed anything that has happened before. Historians are considering it a turning point in history.
- Moon flights are seen as important steps in human evolution similar to when life on earth emerged from the sea and established itself on land.
- However, not everyone is interested in space.
- The word that best fits the blank is "transcend" which means to go beyond limits or surpass something.
- Therefore, the sentence means that the event that happened in the last twenty years is considered to be more significant than anything that has happened before.

1. The Vietnam War officially ended on January 27, 1973, with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords. This marked the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam and the beginning of a ceasefire.
2. The Watergate scandal began to unravel in 1973. It started with the arrest of five men for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. This eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974.
3. The Yom Kippur War broke out on October 6, 1973, when Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. The war lasted for three weeks and resulted in a ceasefire, but it had significant political and military consequences in the Middle East.
4. The Arab oil embargo took place in 1973, following the Yom Kippur War. Arab oil-producing countries, led by OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries), imposed an oil embargo on countries that supported Israel during the war. This led to a global energy crisis and skyrocketing oil prices.
5. The Roe v. Wade decision was made by the US Supreme Court in 1973, legalizing abortion in the United States. This decision has had a lasting impact on reproductive rights and sparked ongoing debates and controversies.
6. The Sydney Opera House in Australia was officially opened on October 20, 1973. This iconic architectural masterpiece is now recognized as one of the most famous and distinctive buildings in the world.
7. The Endangered Species Act was signed into law by President Nixon on December 28, 1973. This legislation aimed to protect and preserve endangered and threatened species in the United States.
These events, among many others, shaped the world in 1973 and continue to have a lasting impact on politics, society, and culture.

**Explanation:**
The word that would be most appropriate to fill in blank no. 35 is "some".
* **All**: This option is incorrect because it implies that birds are found in all areas, which is not true. Different bird species have specific habitats and are not found everywhere.
* **Most**: This option is incorrect because it implies that the majority of birds are found all over the world, which is not true. Some bird species are restricted to certain areas.
* **Some**: This option is correct because it acknowledges that while some bird species are found all over the world, others are restricted to certain areas.
* **More**: This option is incorrect because it does not fit logically in the sentence. The sentence is discussing the distribution of bird species and not comparing the number of birds in different areas.
Therefore, option C - "Some" is the most appropriate word to fill in blank no. 35.

Or reward the living based on their behavior. This belief was common in many cultures and religions, such as ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Native American, and African traditions.
In some cultures, ancestors were honored through the practice of ancestor worship, where offerings and prayers were made to the spirits of the deceased. This was believed to ensure their continued protection and guidance for the living.
On the other hand, it was also believed that the dead could inflict harm on the living if they were not properly respected or if they were angered. This could manifest through illness, misfortune, or other forms of bad luck.
Overall, the belief in the power of ancestors and the dead was a way for people to maintain a connection to their past and to honor those who came before them. It also served as a reminder of the importance of behaving in a way that would bring honor and respect to their ancestors.

Heading: Context
The given passage talks about how space exploration has been a significant event in the last twenty years and how it is considered a turning point in history. It also discusses how some people do not share the same enthusiasm for space exploration.
Heading: Answer Explanation
The word that best fits in the blank is "has been." The sentence talks about how not everyone is excited about space exploration, which implies that this lack of excitement has been ongoing. Therefore, the correct tense to use here is the present perfect tense, which refers to a past action that has a connection to the present.

Option A, "being," is incorrect because it does not fit grammatically with the rest of the sentence. Option B, "had been," is incorrect because it suggests that the lack of excitement was temporary and has now ended. Option C, "was," is incorrect because it does not convey the ongoing nature of the lack of excitement.
Heading: Conclusion
The correct answer to the question is option D, "has been," as it fits the context and grammar of the sentence.

Identifying the Context:
In this sentence, the word in Blank No. 37 should refer to birds that migrate from one country to another.
Analysis of Options:
a) some
b) others
c) few
d) they
Reasoning:
- Option 'a) some' is the most appropriate choice as it refers to a portion of birds that migrate from one country to another. This option suggests that not all birds migrate, but only a portion of them.
- Options 'b) others' and 'd) they' are too general and do not specifically refer to the birds that migrate.
- Option 'c) few' implies a small number, which may not accurately represent the birds that migrate from one country to another.
Therefore, the most suitable option for Blank No. 37 is 'a) some'.

Options A and D can be eliminated as they don't fit the sentence grammatically. Option B can't be correct as it will be an overstatement. Also, it is mentioned in the passage that educated and professional women in urban India are quite at par with men. This eliminates option B. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Radha Chakraborty answered |
The year 1973 was a significant year in history for several reasons:
1. The Vietnam War ended: The Paris Peace Accords were signed in January 1973, bringing an end to the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. This marked a significant turning point in the conflict and brought relief to many Americans.
2. Watergate scandal: In June 1973, five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. This event eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974, after it was revealed that he had tried to cover up the break-in.
3. OPEC oil crisis: In October 1973, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) announced an oil embargo against countries that supported Israel during the Yom Kippur War. This led to a global energy crisis, with oil prices soaring and shortages in many countries.
4. Roe v. Wade: In January 1973, the United States Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, legalizing abortion nationwide. This decision remains highly controversial and has had a lasting impact on the abortion debate in the United States.
5. The launch of the World Trade Center: The construction of the World Trade Center in New York City was completed in 1973. The Twin Towers, standing at 1,368 feet tall, became iconic symbols of the city's skyline until their tragic collapse during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
6. The release of influential albums: Several influential albums were released in 1973, including Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon," Led Zeppelin's "Houses of the Holy," and Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." These albums have since become classics and have had a significant impact on the music industry.
7. The birth of notable individuals: Several notable individuals were born in 1973, including actor and filmmaker Seth MacFarlane, actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie, and tennis player Serena Williams.
Overall, the year 1973 was a pivotal year in history, marked by significant events in politics, culture, and society that continue to have an impact today.

Aman Pillai answered |
Understanding the Context
In the provided text, the focus is on motivating employees in a changing economic landscape. As employees gain economic security, traditional methods of motivation are becoming less effective. The blank requires a word that captures the essence of motivating employees through rewards.
Why "Incentives" is the Correct Choice
- Definition: Incentives are benefits or rewards that encourage specific behaviors or actions. In a workplace context, they can include bonuses, promotions, or recognition.
- Relevance to Motivation: The text suggests that traditional authority and financial motivation are less effective as employees become less dependent on their organizations. Incentives directly address this by offering tangible rewards that can still drive motivation, regardless of the employee's economic security.
- Contrast with Other Options:
- Matters: Too vague and does not directly relate to motivating employees.
- Curbs: Implies restriction, which is contrary to motivation.
- Guidelines: Suggests rules or frameworks, not motivating factors.
- Restrictions: Similar to curbs, it implies limitation, which does not foster motivation.
Conclusion
Using "incentives" in Blank No. 11 effectively conveys the idea that motivating employees requires appealing to their desire for rewards, especially in a context where traditional methods are losing their impact. This term encapsulates the shift in motivation strategies necessary for modern organizations.

Explanation:
Context:
The sentence is describing the different habitats where a bird watcher can observe birds.
Analysis:
In this sentence, the word "a" is the most appropriate choice for Blank No. 32. The sentence is referring to various habitats like forests, meadows, lakes, swamps, and fields in a general sense. The use of "a" before these habitats indicates that the bird watcher can observe birds in any of these types of habitats.
Reasoning:
- "a" is used to refer to any one out of many possible options.
- "the" would imply a specific forest, meadow, lake, swamp, or field, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.
- "certain" and "some" are not as appropriate in this context as they do not convey the general nature of the habitats being described.
Therefore, the most appropriate word for Blank No. 32 is "a."
