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.

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.

Only ‘summit’ makes proper sense in the 1st blank. Similarly, only ‘dismantled’ makes proper sense in the 2nd blank.
The other words are preposterous.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Option 1 is incorrect as ‘so large’ cannot fit here as the sentence is structures. We need an article here for the animal mentioned and ‘so’ becomes’ grammatically incorrect then. Similarly option 2 and 3 are grammatically incorrect. Option 4 is the correct answer as the word ’such’ and the article ‘a’ both fit here.

Aarav Sharma answered |
Context: The speaker has lost their wallet and is asking if anyone has seen it.
Answer: (c) Around
Explanation:
The correct word to fill in the blank in the given sentence is "around". The sentence then becomes, "I asked around but nobody had seen my wallet." Here, "around" means to ask or inquire among a group of people or in a particular area.
Explanation of other options:
a) Aside: This word means to one side; out of the way. It does not fit in the context of the given sentence.
b) Any: This word does not make sense in the context of the given sentence. It is used to refer to a quantity of something, but the sentence is about asking if anyone has seen the wallet.
d) About: This word means approximately or nearly. It does not fit in the context of the given sentence.
Therefore, option (c) around is the correct answer.

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 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.

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.

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.

Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the given sentence, we have two blanks that need to be filled with appropriate words. The context revolves around inflation rates and movements related to those rates.
Analyzing the First Blank
For the first blank, we need a word that refers to the inflation rate being discussed. The word "targeted" fits this context perfectly, as it suggests that there is a specific inflation rate (4 percent) that is aimed for or expected.
- "Targeted" inflation rate indicates a goal set by monetary authorities, which aligns with economic discussions.
Examining the Second Blank
The second blank requires a term that relates to the movement of inflation. The word "directions" is appropriate here because it conveys the idea of the movements in the inflation rate — whether they are increasing or decreasing.
- "Directions" of movement reflects the fluctuations in economic indicators, making it relevant in this context.
Conclusion
When we combine these two words, "targeted" and "directions," the sentence reads coherently:
"This means that the rate level is still below the targeted inflation rate of 4 percent with 2 percent movement in both the directions."
This choice conveys a clear and logical economic statement, making option 'C' the correct answer.
Thus, the correct answer is indeed option 'C': targeted, directions.

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.

Understanding the Context
In the given paragraph, we have three blanks that require the same word to fill them appropriately. The context revolves around an agreement related to two parties, board members' approval, and a proposal for merging companies.
Analysis of Options
- a) Agreement: This word refers to a formal arrangement between parties, which aligns with the context of both signing a deal and the board's approval of the proposal.
- b) Custom: This term relates to traditional practices or habits but does not fit the context of formal business interactions.
- c) Victory: This implies winning or success, which is irrelevant to the context of an agreement or proposal.
- d) Ratification: While it denotes the approval of an agreement, it is more formal and typically used in legal contexts. It doesn’t quite fit the broader context of the scenario provided.
- e) None of the above: This option is not applicable since one of the options is indeed suitable.
Why "Agreement" is the Correct Choice
- The first blank refers to the formal signing of a document between parties, which is most accurately described as an "agreement."
- The second blank indicates the board members' consensus, which is commonly referred to as an "agreement" on the proposal.
- The third blank speaks to the future impact of the decision, which is often a result of an agreement made between companies.
Conclusion
Each blank requires a word that signifies a formal understanding or arrangement. "Agreement" is the only word that fits all three contexts seamlessly, thus making it the correct choice.

Kylian Mbappe, who __________ 19 became the youngest to score in the World Cup final since Pele, showed glimpses of his extraordinary potential; he now looks set __________ greater things.
The first blank is right before a number that denotes age.
The preposition ‘at’ perfectly fits the blank. The preposition ‘at’ is always used before age.
This eliminates A and B.
‘For’ aptly fills the 2nd blank.
“Set off” and “set in” does not make any sense here.
‘Set off’ means= begin a journey/ to put in action an event or a series of events
‘Set in’ means= (of something unpleasant or unwelcome) begin and seem likely to continue
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Empowered
Empowered banks to levy TDS on withdrawals in excess of Rs. 1 crore.
- The term "empowered" means to give authority or power to someone to do something. In this context, the Budget has given authority to banks to levy TDS on high-value cash withdrawals exceeding Rs. 1 crore.
- This action enables banks to monitor and regulate large cash transactions more effectively, which helps in preventing tax evasion and promoting transparency in financial transactions.
- By empowering banks to impose TDS on such withdrawals, the government aims to track and deter activities involving black money and illicit transactions.
- Therefore, the appropriate option to fill in the blank in the sentence to make it meaningful is 'b) Empowered'.

The phrasal verb ‘pull down’ means to demolish something. Here, the modal ‘must be’ should be followed by the past tense of the verb because the sentence is in the passive voice.Thus option 3 is the correct answer.

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.

Explanation:
The sentence states that the company hopes its initiative will generate a significant amount of revenue, but there are concerns about the impact of placing thousands of satellites in orbit. We need to choose the correct prepositions to fill the blanks in order to maintain the meaning and coherence of the sentence.
Blank 1:
The preposition that fits best in the first blank is "despite." This preposition is used to introduce a contrast or opposition between two ideas. In this case, the company hopes for revenue despite the fears over the impact of placing satellites in orbit. The prepositions "about," "over," and "with" do not convey the intended meaning of contrast or opposition.
Blank 2:
The preposition that fits best in the second blank is "in." The phrase "in orbit" is a common expression used to describe the location of satellites. The prepositions "at," "of," and "within" do not convey the intended meaning of the satellites being in orbit.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct set of prepositions for each blank is "despite" for the first blank and "in" for the second blank. This choice best maintains the meaning and coherence of the sentence.

In the given context we can see that we are talking about the selling options of the ETF and they can be sold only in the stock exchanges. That will imply there will be buyers and obviously the sellers will get a very good price. This is the main implication of the given sentence. Among the given words we can only use the word imperative to imply the intended meaning of the given sentence. Ratification means confirming something.

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.

Sagar Sharma answered |
There _____ a huge thunderstorm last night.
c) was
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'c) was'.
In this sentence, the verb "was" is used in the past tense to indicate that something happened in the past. The word "there" is used as an introductory subject in sentences like this. So, when we say "there was," it means that something existed or happened in the past.
The sentence is describing an event that occurred in the past, specifically last night. The word "was" is the past tense of the verb "to be," which is used to indicate existence or occurrence. In this case, it is indicating that there was a huge thunderstorm last night.
The other options are not suitable for this sentence:
a) Is going to be - This is the future tense and does not match the context of the sentence. It suggests that there will be a thunderstorm in the future, not that there was one last night.
b) Is - This is the present tense and does not match the context of the sentence. It suggests that there is currently a thunderstorm, rather than one that happened in the past.
d) Shall be going - This phrase is not grammatically correct in this sentence. "Shall be going" is used to talk about future plans or intentions, not to describe a past event.
Therefore, the correct option is 'c) was', which correctly indicates that there was a huge thunderstorm last night.
c) was

Statement II: Chinese mobile phone maker Huawei said it never ________ or stored Facebook user data, after the social media giant acknowledged it gave access of data to such handset manufacturers albeit in a ________ way.
Correct answer: c) Collected, controlled
Explanation:
Statement I:
- The phrase "over Rs 35,000 crore" suggests a large sum of money has been collected.
- The phrase "mostly by private companies" suggests that the construction industry is dominated by private companies.
- Therefore, the two blanks should be filled with words that indicate the government has collected a large sum of money from private companies for the welfare of construction workers.
Statement II:
- The phrase "never collected or stored" suggests that Huawei did not take Facebook user data.
- The word "albeit" suggests that Facebook gave access to data to handset manufacturers in some way.
- Therefore, the two blanks should be filled with words that indicate Huawei did not collect Facebook user data, but Facebook did give access to data to handset manufacturers in some way.
Thus, the correct set of words that fit both the blanks in both the statements appropriately and in the same order making them meaningful and grammatically correct is "collected, controlled".

The correct answer is option 'D' (Monitoring).
Explanation:
The sentence states that the tax department has been stepping up its _____________ of your financial activities and it has also been making compliance easy.
To fill the blank, we need to choose an option that fits the context and makes the sentence meaningful.
Let's analyze each option:
a) Terminating: This option does not fit the context of the sentence. Terminating implies ending or discontinuing something, which does not align with the idea of the tax department's activities.
b) Guiding: This option is not suitable because it does not convey the same meaning as the sentence. The tax department's role is not to guide but rather to monitor and enforce compliance.
c) Dressing: This option is completely unrelated to the context of the sentence. Dressing implies wearing clothes and has no relevance to the tax department's activities.
d) Monitoring: This is the correct option. Monitoring fits the context and conveys the idea that the tax department is closely observing or keeping track of your financial activities. This aligns with the overall meaning of the sentence.
e) None of the above: This option can be ruled out as option 'D' (Monitoring) is the correct answer.
In conclusion, the correct option to fill the blank in the sentence is 'Monitoring'.

The paragraph talks about a person and his family's nature. The first sentence mentions the person's concern for affected children, which is easily understandable. The second sentence states that the person's family members are similar in nature, and they don't care much about anything in life. The third sentence concludes that their nature is the reason why they don't have many friends in the neighbourhood.
Choosing the Correct Word
The blanks in the paragraph need to be filled with the same word out of the five options given. The word should make sense in the context of the paragraph. Let's look at the options:
a) Stupendous - This word means extremely impressive or amazing. It does not fit in the context of the paragraph as the concern for affected children is not described as impressive or amazing.
b) Superficial - This word means existing or occurring at or on the surface, easy to understand or recognize. This word fits in the context of the paragraph as the concern for affected children is described as easily understandable.
c) Substantial - This word means of considerable importance, size, or worth. It does not fit in the context of the paragraph as the concern for affected children is not described as important or of worth.
d) Spurious - This word means false or fake. It does not fit in the context of the paragraph as the concern for affected children is not described as false or fake.
e) None of the above - This option is not correct as one of the given options fits in the context of the paragraph.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - Superficial.
Conclusion

According to the given context we are saying that the IIT Bombay has been chosen as the best institution in India by the QS Rankings and it has got a rank of 152 in the rankings this year.
Now coming to the words given in both the columns, ranked and rated from the first column can be used for the first blank since they are synonyms to each other and they perfectly fit in the first blank also. Coming to the words in the Second Column, both gaining and achieving can also be used interchangeably to fill the second blank. Therefore, A-E and B-D both can be used in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.

Explanation:
The first blank in both the statements requires a word that describes the weather conditions that were present during the project execution. The second blank requires a word that describes the behavior of the people involved in the project. The correct set of words should be appropriate for both the statements and should make sense when used in the same order.
I. Even though weather conditions were ________ for executing the project, sheer ________ coupled with a laidback attitude led to an opportunity being wasted.
In this statement, the weather conditions were not suitable for executing the project. Hence, the word that fills the blank should be negative. The second blank requires a word that describes the behavior of the people involved. The word 'sheer' suggests that the behavior was extreme or intense.
II. The ________ treatment given to corporate agriculture and a culture of ________ and disregard for small farmers is killing Indias agricultural sector, and killing the farmers themselves.
In this statement, the treatment given to corporate agriculture is negative and the culture of disregard for small farmers is also negative. Hence, both the blanks require negative words.
The correct set of words that fit both the blanks in both the statements appropriately and in the same order making them meaningful and grammatically correct is 'Favourable, negligence'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.
The first blank in both the statements requires a word that describes the weather conditions that were present during the project execution. The second blank requires a word that describes the behavior of the people involved in the project. The correct set of words should be appropriate for both the statements and should make sense when used in the same order.

Ssc Cgl answered |
In option A, “wrecked” is grammatically incorrect because it uses the past participle form of verb as well as does not fit the context.
In option B, week is contextually incorrect.
In option C, “exist” is exactly opposite to what is being required. RBI is a governing authority and it would try to maintain discipline rather than removing it.
Both the words of option D suit the context as well as fulfill the grammar rules.
Hence option D is correct.

Answer:
Explanation:
The given sentence talks about the action of the new principal in relation to a system of evaluation of the students throughout the session. We need to choose the appropriate form of the verb that indicates a future action.
Options Analysis:
Let's analyze each option to determine the correct answer:
a) Was introduced: This option uses the past tense form of the verb, which indicates that the action of introducing the system of evaluation has already taken place in the past. However, the sentence implies that the principal will introduce the system in the future, so this option is incorrect.
b) Has to introduce: This option uses the phrase "has to" which implies an obligation or necessity. However, the sentence does not indicate any compulsion or requirement for the principal to introduce the system. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
c) Will introduce: This option uses the future tense form of the verb "introduce." It correctly indicates that the principal is going to introduce the system in the future. This option is the correct answer.
d) Will introduced: This option is grammatically incorrect because it combines the auxiliary verb "will" with the past participle form of the verb "introduce." The correct form should be "will introduce." Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, option "c) Will introduce" is the correct answer as it appropriately fills the blank in the sentence to indicate the future action of the new principal introducing a system of evaluation of the students throughout the session.

extension activities, and the rural employment guarantee scheme.
The sentence talks about agrarian crisis and the government initiatives to tackle this crisis. It talks about a process through which the problems will be addressed.
Evidently, the preposition that best suits for the blank 1 is ‘through’.
This eliminates options C, D and E.
After the first blank, the sentence talks of different government schemes.
Evidently, ‘excluding’ cannot fill the 2nd blank.
‘Including’ perfectly fits the 2nd blank.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

“Fellow-feeling” means ‘sympathy and fellowship existing between people based on shared experiences or feelings’.
“Fellow-feeling” and the blank is connected by the connector ‘and’. Hence the blank will take a word similar to the word ‘fellow-feeling’. Fraternity: friendship and mutual support within a group “Fraternity”, “friendship” and “brotherhood” are very similar to fellow-feeling.

Understanding the Sentence:
The sentence states that there is no need to hurry because there is plenty of time. We need to choose the appropriate word that conveys this meaning in both grammar and context.
Options Analysis:
a) need: This word conveys the sense that there is no requirement or necessity to hurry.
b) should: This word suggests an obligation or a recommendation to hurry.
c) would: This word indicates a conditional action or a hypothetical situation, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
d) must: This word implies a strong obligation or necessity to hurry, which contradicts the idea of having plenty of time.
Choosing the Correct Option:
Given the context of the sentence, the appropriate word to fill the blank is "need." This choice aligns with the idea that there is no requirement or necessity to hurry because there is ample time available.

Explanation:
The given sentence talks about an action that is going to happen in the future, which is reading for two hours before going to school tomorrow. The correct auxiliary verb to be used here is 'will be' as it indicates a future action.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - Will be.
Usage of the options:
a) Will have been - This option is in the future perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that will be completed before a certain point in the future. But in the given sentence, there is no indication of any completion of action before the future point. Hence, this option is incorrect.
b) Had been - This option is in the past perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that was completed before another past action. But in the given sentence, there is no past tense used, and the action is in the future. Hence, this option is incorrect.
c) Will be - This option is in the simple future tense, which is used to talk about an action that will happen in the future. This is the correct option that fits the context of the sentence.
d) Am - This option is in the present tense, which is used to talk about an action that is happening currently. But in the given sentence, the action is in the future tense. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Therefore, option 'C' - Will be is the correct answer.

The first and second options can be eliminated because they are grammatically incorrect within themselves. On the other hand, the third option is in present continuous which does not fit in with the past tense used in the sentence. Hence, the correct answer is ‘had arrived’ that is the past perfect. This is because the arrival of the guest had taken place before the action of arriving at the house.

Meteoric: (of the development of something) very rapid
Stagnating: ceasing to develop; becoming inactive or dull.
Monetary: relating to money or currency Meteoric fits perfectly in the blank.
“Stagnation” and “rise” are two opposite words. “Stagnating” does not fit in the blank at all.
It is not very clear how development in cellular internet connectivity can lead to economic/ financial growth. Further, the word ‘monetary’ does not sound very appropriate in the blank. Hence, it gets
eliminated.

According to the given context, we are saying that AES is a disease that includes a lot of symptoms as described in the sentence.
If we come to the words given the columns, there is only one word that can fill the first blank and that is referring whereas for the second blank we can use the word includes. Therefore the combination of A-F will be correct to make the given sentence meaningful and contextually correct and there is no other combination of words that will make the sentence correct. This makes
Option C the correct choice among the given options.

Explanation:
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - Only II.
- The sentence is about Virat Kohli breaking a world record of being the fastest to score 11,000 oneday international runs.
- The blank requires a preposition that conveys the meaning of 'breaking' or 'setting' a record.
- Out of the given options, only 'achieved' fits in the context.
- Option (a) and (e) are incorrect as 'functioned' and 'cared' do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
- Option (c) is incorrect as it includes 'I' and 'III' which are not suitable prepositions for the blank.
- Option (d) is incorrect as it includes 'I' which is not a suitable preposition for the blank.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - Only II.

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.

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.

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.
