Sentence completion question
The question asks to choose the most effective word to complete the sentence meaningfully.
Options:
a) took place
b) had taken
c) occurred
d) had happened
e) passed
Correct option:
c) occurred
Explanation:
The sentence talks about an accident which happened in the past. The use of the past tense 'informed' suggests that the accident had already happened before Alok informed the speaker. Therefore, the correct word to use in this context is 'occurred', which means 'took place, happened'.
The other options, 'took place', 'had taken', 'had happened', and 'passed' could also be used in some contexts, but they don't fit in this sentence as effectively as 'occurred'.
- 'Took place' is a synonym of 'occurred', but it is less commonly used in formal contexts.
- 'Had taken' is the past perfect tense of 'take', which is not appropriate in this sentence because it doesn't convey the sense of an accident happening.
- 'Had happened' is similar to 'occurred', but it is less commonly used in formal contexts.
- 'Passed' means 'went by, elapsed', and it doesn't convey the sense of an accident happening.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C', 'occurred'.

EduRev SSC CGL answered |
Clans means group of kin, which is simply not related to the context. Thus option A is eliminated. Any information can be misused by the opponents only, thus both the words of option B absolutely fit to the blanks.
In option C, garbage is completely wrong.
In option D, allies is just opposite to the context, allies means friends, which will not do anything against him.
Hence option B is correct.

Answer:
The rocket missed the target and did not cause any casualty.
Explanation:
- The given sentence talks about a rocket that was fired towards a target.
- Out of the given options, the correct word to fill in the blank is 'missed', as it means that the rocket did not hit the target.
- The other options do not fit in the context of the sentence:
- 'Sensed' does not make sense in this context as the rocket is not a living being that can sense anything.
- 'Reached' is not the correct word as it implies that the rocket hit the target, which is opposite to what the sentence is trying to convey.
- 'Exploded' is also not the correct word as it implies that the rocket hit something and caused an explosion, which again is opposite to what the sentence is trying to convey.
- 'Aimed' is not the correct word as it talks about the intention of the rocket, whereas the sentence is talking about the outcome of the rocket's action.

Om Desai answered |
It is very obvious that terrorist would do something negative. Thus both the words should be negative in nature.
Option A – Both the words absolutely fit the blanks.
Option B – 'Enhance' does not fill in the second blank appropriately.
Option C - Neither of the words fill in its respective blank appropriately.
Option D - The first word 'Stop' is exactly opposite to what's intended in the sentence as terrorists do not want to stop communal tensions.
Option E - The first word 'improves' is ungrammatical in the sentence.
Hence option A is correct.

Explanation:
Foregone, expectation:
- The sentence talks about a conclusion that was expected before the monetary policy announcement, indicating that it was already considered or foreseen.
- The word "foregone" means something that is already decided or known beforehand.
- The word "expectation" fits well in the context, as it refers to what was anticipated or predicted regarding the rate cut.
Therefore, the correct combination of words that fit in the blanks is "foregone, expectation" as it accurately conveys the idea that the rate cut was a foregone conclusion before the announcement, and the expectation was either a 25 or 50 basis points cut.

Ssc Cgl answered |
Here we are talking about the future of a person and it is being said that the person is not having a very good future at sight. The prospects do not look at all promising in his case. That is why his parents and teachers are also very much worried about his future.
Now coming to the words given in options, callous refers to unfeeling / obdurate but this will not satisfy the context in all the three blanks. Earnest refers to sincere and benevolent implies somebody who is generous. These two are also not going with the given context. There is only one word that can be used to fill all the three blanks and that is bleak which implies something that is likely to have an unfavourable outcome. It will satisfy all the three blanks correctly.
This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.

Notes Wala answered |
It is clear from the context of this sentence that the government has put forward in the budget a proposal that will discourage cash transactions in the high value segment. The banks will be able to penalize the customers doing so going forward. The weapon given to the banks is the implementation of TDS on high value cash transactions. Among the given words, we can use the word empowered to indicate that the banks have been enabled to impose tax on cash transactions. Other words are eliminated because they do not imply the intended meaning.
This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.

Harsh Kapoor answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence talks about the reason behind the choice made by the father for a particular school. The correct option to fill in the blank is 'made' which means that the father was the one who made the decision to choose that particular school. Let's understand this answer in detail.
Understanding the context:
The sentence talks about a decision that was made by the father for a particular school. It seems like the reason behind this decision is not clear to the speaker. Therefore, the blank needs to be filled with an appropriate verb that can specify the action taken by the father.
Options given:
a) happened - This option does not make sense in the given context as the decision was made by the father and not something that happened on its own.
b) controlled - This option does not fit in the context as well. The word 'controlled' suggests that the father had control over something related to the school, which is not mentioned in the sentence.
c) made - This option is the correct answer. The word 'made' refers to the action taken by the father, which was to choose that particular school.
d) asked - This option does not fit in the context. The father did not ask someone about the school, but he made a decision to choose that school.
e) thrilled - This option does not make sense in the given context. The word 'thrilled' means to be excited or happy, which does not fit in the context of the sentence.
Conclusion:
The correct answer to fill in the blank is option 'C' which is 'made'. This option is the most suitable verb that can be used in the given context as it refers to the action taken by the father to choose that particular school.

Bank Exams India answered |
Option B: ‘Taken concern’ is grammatically wrong and does not fit.
Option C: Action should be followed by ‘on’ and not ‘of’ so even this option is ruled out.
Option D: The correct phrase is taken issue with the video which means to have a problem with the video. Hence this is incorrect.
Option E: This option may appear correct, but the word remove is self-sufficient and does not need to be followed by ‘out’.
Option A: To take cognizance means to take notice of something. Weed out means to take out or remove something.
Hence, option A is the right answer.

The company hopes that its initiative will provide a major source of revenue, ________ fears over the impact of placing thousands of satellites _________ orbit.
If we read the sentence carefully, we can infer that the company is positive about its initiative though there are fears over the impact of an action. Evidently, the preposition that best suits for the blank 1 is 'despite' or 'inspite of'. This eliminates options B, C and E.
For the blank 2, the most appropriate preposition is 'in' as satellites are placed 'in' orbit.
Option A is hence the correct answer.

According to the given context of the sentence, it is regarding the fact that the Fed is not for further rate cuts in the economy but the tension between USA and China is suggesting that the Fed may not have any other option but to go for rate cuts in the future as well. There should be a number of such rate cut decisions coming in the future. Coming to the given options, we can see that Option A gives us the correct implication of the given sentence whereas the rest can be ruled out for being out of context here.
This makes Option A the correct choice among the given options.

Garbage: rubbish or waste, especially domestic refuse
Loiter: stand or wait around without apparent purpose
Litter: make (a place or area) untidy with rubbish or a large number of objects left lying about
The blank demands a verb. “Garbage” is a noun. Hence, it gets eliminated.
“Loiter” makes no sense in the given context. So, it also gets eliminated.
Only ‘litter’ makes perfect sense in the blank both grammatically and contextually. It is also a verb.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

According to the given context, it is regarding the fact that the gold prices in the last few months have been on the rise because of the increasing demand in the global markets. The markets such as India and China are actually fuelling this demand and that is why the prices are on the rise in the global market. Among the given options, we can see that Option B can be perfect in this context since both the words here will give us the correct implication of the given statement. The rest are not relevant and hence ruled out from consideration.
This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.

Simran Kaur answered |
Explanation:
The sentence talks about money being wasted on the purchase of some items. The correct option to fill in the blank would be 'trivial' which means unimportant or insignificant.
Trivial items are those which are of little importance or value, and hence spending money on them is considered a waste. These items may include things like unnecessary accessories, unnecessary gadgets, low-quality items, etc.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'E' - trivial.

Domesticated: (of an animal) tame and kept as a pet or on a farm
Herbivorous: (of an animal) feeding on plants
“Domesticated” and “herbivorous” animals would not attack people. Even if they attack for some
reason, they would not consider humans their ‘prey’.
Hence, these two words get eliminated.
Only the word “wild” fits perfectly in the blank. “Wild” animals would consider humans as ‘prey’ and
attack them too.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

The global financial institution has advocated ________ reforms that favour agribusiness and ignore peasants and indigenous peoples whose livelihoods depend _________ traditional land use.
In the context of the sentence, the preposition following the verb 'advocated' must be 'for'.
Advocate (Verb):
to speak in support of an idea or course of action.
Ex. The organization advocates for human rights.
Now, as we know that the verb 'depend' is followed by the preposition 'on', 'on' is the perfect choice for the blank 2.

Answer:
To understand the correct option to fill in the blank, let's analyze the given sentence:
"Since you can sell units only on the stock exchange, it is _____________ that there are buyers and you get a good price."
The sentence talks about selling units on the stock exchange and emphasizes the importance of having buyers and getting a good price. The missing word should convey the sense of necessity or importance. Let's analyze the options:
a) Instant: This option does not fit the context of the sentence. The word "instant" does not convey the idea of necessity or importance.
b) Imperative: This option is the correct answer. The word "imperative" means necessary or of vital importance. In the context of the sentence, it emphasizes the importance of having buyers and getting a good price to successfully sell units on the stock exchange.
c) Ratification: This option does not fit the context of the sentence. The word "ratification" means the act of confirming or approving something, which does not relate to the sentence's subject matter.
d) Genuine: This option does not fit the context of the sentence. The word "genuine" means real or authentic, which does not convey the sense of necessity or importance in this sentence.
e) None of the above: This option is not the correct answer. The sentence requires a word to fill in the blank, and "none of the above" does not provide a suitable word.
Therefore, the correct answer to fill in the blank in the given sentence is option 'B' - Imperative.

The given paragraph is regarding a certain kind of people who have certain qualities in themselves and that is why a lot of people are envious of them. There are certain qualities that make them apart from the normal people. Now coming to the given words in options, lucid means expressed clearly whereas sterile refers to barren or impotent.
Therefore these two words can be eliminated from consideration. There is only one word that can fit in all the three blanks in the paragraph i.e. successful. This will make all the three blanks meaningful.

A slew __________ new problems emerged directly __________ the government policies.
In the given sentence, ‘slew’ means ‘a large number or quantity of something’.
Evidently, the preposition that makes perfect sense in blank 1 is ‘of’.
This eliminates options A and D.
The sentence talks of problems arising out of government policies.
Hence, ‘from’ is the most appropriate preposition for blank 2.
So, option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:
The sentence talks about a weak phase of the monsoon and how the rains get limited to the foothills of the Himalayas. To fill the blanks, we need to look for words that fit the context and the meaning of the sentence.
Option A - "fared" means to perform in a specified way or to turn out in a particular manner. "controlled" means to have power over something. These words do not fit the context of the sentence.
Option B - "fought" means to engage in a battle or a struggle. "cared" means to feel concern or interest. These words do not fit the context of the sentence.
Option C - "fraught" means filled with or likely to result in something undesirable. "determined" means having made a firm decision and being resolved not to change it. While the word "fraught" fits the context, "determined" does not make sense in this sentence.
Option D - "followed" means to come after something in time or order. "confined" means to keep something within limits. These words fit the context of the sentence perfectly. The sentence talks about a weak phase of the monsoon that follows a certain pattern, and the rains get limited to the foothills of the Himalayas.
Option E - This option is incorrect as option D is the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D - "followed, confined".

Nilesh Banerjee answered |
Explanation:
The sentence talks about the delivery partners and their understanding of the practical nature of the job. The correct combination of words that fit in the blanks are 'unequivocally' and 'nature'. Let's understand why:
Unequivocally: This word means 'in a way that leaves no doubt' or 'clearly and unambiguously'. So, the delivery partners are 'unequivocally' made to understand the practical nature of the job. This means that there is no doubt or confusion about the practical nature of the job.
Nature: This word means the inherent character or essence of something. So, the practical 'nature' of the job refers to the inherent character or essence of the job.
Hence, the correct combination of words that fit in the blanks are 'unequivocally' and 'nature'.
Therefore, the answer is option 'D' - unequivocally, nature.

Explanation:
The sentence talks about a company's intention to extend the date of submission of their Q1 results. The correct combination of words that fit in the blanks are:
- Option C: filing, extend
Option A: fascination, explain - This combination of words does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
Option B: fare, exploit - The word "fare" means the cost of transportation, and "exploit" means to take advantage of something. These words do not fit in the context of the sentence.
Option D: firm, utilize - The word "firm" means a company, and "utilize" means to make use of something. While these words make sense in a business context, they don't fit in the specific context of the sentence.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer as the word "filing" refers to the submission of financial documents, and "extend" means to make something last longer. Together, they fit the context of the sentence.

Here we are stating that litchi is mainly harmful for children who are undernourished and they go to bed with empty stomach after having this fruit. It does not induce any kind of harm if the child is properly nourished.
Among the given words in both the columns, we can use both cause and induce for the first blank whereas for the second blank, there are two words that can be used interchangeably to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct and they are empty and vacant. Hence, we can use the combinations A-F and B-D to fill the given blanks correctly. There is no other combination of words that can make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.

Question Analysis:
The question requires the selection of the appropriate set of prepositions that fit in the given context. The blank space indicates that a preposition is missing, and the candidate needs to select the correct set of prepositions from the given options.
Given Options:
a) Both II and III
b) Only III
c) Both I and III
d) Both I and II
e) None of I, II, and III
Answer Explanation:
The sentence talks about an algorithm that helps robots avoid collisions by calculating the human path. Let's analyze each option given one by one:
a) Both II and III: The options II and III are "Fragmented" and "Riled." Neither of these prepositions makes sense in the given context. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
b) Only III: The option III is "Riled." This preposition does not make sense in the given context. Therefore, this option can also be eliminated.
c) Both I and III: The option I is "Determined," and III is "Riled." Again, the preposition "Riled" does not make sense in the given context. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
d) Both I and II: The option I is "Determined," and II is "Fragmented." Neither of these prepositions makes sense in the given context. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
e) None of I, II, and III: After eliminating all other options, we are left with this option as the correct answer. The sentence requires a preposition that indicates the action of creating, developing, or formulating something. None of the given prepositions fit in the context of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option e) None of I, II, and III. No preposition fits in the given context.

Explanation:
The sentence talks about the role of farmers in the loss of the NDA government in 2004 and the efforts made by the first UPA regime to address their concerns. The prepositions that best fit in the first blank are 'through' or 'including', while the prepositions that best fit in the second blank are 'through' or 'including'. Let us analyze each option to determine the correct answer.
a) 'Through, excluding' - This option does not make sense in the context of the sentence. Excluding what? It is unclear what is being excluded.
b) 'Through, including' - This option makes the most sense in the context of the sentence. It suggests that the first UPA regime sought to meet the concerns of farmers by increasing public spending in rural areas and implementing agricultural plans in each state while also focusing on agricultural credit, enhanced extension activities, and the rural employment guarantee scheme.
c) 'Including, towards' - This option does not make sense in the context of the sentence. What is being included? And towards what?
d) 'Towards, including' - This option does not make sense in the context of the sentence. Towards what are the concerns of farmers being directed?
e) 'With, towards' - This option does not make sense in the context of the sentence. With what are the concerns of farmers being addressed? And towards what?
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - 'Through, including'.

Vikram Mehta answered |
‘Drivel’ means: nonsense talk/ nonsense
‘Prattle’ means: talk at length in a foolish or inconsequential way
These two words perfectly fit in the blank both grammatically and contextually.
But ‘warnings’ does not fit in the blank. “Paranoid” is a negative word. “Warnings” don’t go well with
‘paranoid’ scientists. Logical scientists give ‘warnings’. But the talks of ‘paranoid’ scientists can be
considered ‘drivel’ or ‘prattle’.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

If we go through the context of the given sentence it is regarding the right of the patients and the way in which they should behave in the hospitals. There should be an agreement between the hospital authorities and the patients and afterwards no party should turn violent.
Among the given words, we can see that from the first column, display can be placed in the first blank whereas from the second column, the correct word that can be placed in the second blank is resort. So, B-D is a correct combination of the two words to be placed in the blanks. There is no other combination of words that will make the given sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Option A – “Assure” is grammatically incorrect, With singular subject verb should also be singular.
Option B – Due to the above mentioned reason “Provide” is also incorrect.
Option C – “Allows” does not fit in the first blank as it brings absurdity to the context of the sentence.
Option D- Both the words are grammatically as well as contextually correct.
Hence option D is correct.

- "You should not make any ____________ remark against your colleagues since they are with you through thick and thin." Here, the sentence means that you should not make any disrespectful or critical remark against your colleagues because they are always there to support you in difficult times. Therefore, the word "derogatory" fits in this blank appropriately because it means critical or disrespectful.
- "If they also revert with any ____________ comment you may not be able to tolerate it at your end." In this sentence, the word "revert" means to reply or respond.

Here, the sentence means that it is always better to refrain from making any critical or disrespectful comments on anyone.
