  • b)
    o,r
  • c)

  • d)

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer:

To solve this question, we need to fill in the blanks with the suitable alphabet provided as the option to make a meaningful word. The word is "t - ansie - t".

The options given are:
a) r, n
b) o, r
c) n, o
d) n, n

To determine the suitable alphabet, we need to look at the given word and see which option fits the pattern.

Analysis:
- The word "t - ansie - t" has two blanks, one before and one after "ansie".
- The first blank is followed by the letter 't' and the second blank is preceded by the letter 't'.
- We need to find the suitable alphabets to fill these blanks.

Solution:
Looking at the options, we see that option 'A' has the letters 'r' and 'n'. Let's see if this option fits the given pattern.

- If we choose option 'A' and fill in the blanks, we get "t - ansie - t".
- The first blank is filled with 'r' and the second blank is filled with 'n'.
- The word becomes "t - ansier - t".

Now, let's see if this word is meaningful.
- The word "t - ansier - t" doesn't have any dictionary meaning.
- However, it could be a variation or misspelling of the word "anxiety".

Therefore, we can conclude that the suitable alphabet to fill in the blanks is option 'A' (r, n), resulting in the word "t - ansier - t".
