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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Explanation:
Context:
The sentence talks about the possibility of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in response to actions taken by the US President against China.
Analysis:
1. The first blank requires a word that indicates a possibility or likelihood of something happening.
2. The second blank needs a word that suggests ruling out or eliminating a possibility.
Correct Answer Justification:
- Option 'A' fits the blanks correctly. "Series" in the first blank implies a sequence or set of rate cuts that may happen, and "ruled" in the second blank indicates that the possibility of rate cuts cannot be ruled out or eliminated.
- Options 'B', 'C', 'D' are not contextually suitable as they do not convey the intended meaning in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - series, ruled.

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.

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.

Ishaan Roy answered |
Understanding the Context
The sentence in question is about a significant financial decision: buying a home. The word that fills the blank should convey a sense of importance and weight associated with this decision.
Analyzing the Options
- a) Important: This word suggests that buying a home holds great significance, which aligns perfectly with the context of making a major financial decision.
- b) Impatient: This term conveys a lack of patience and does not relate to the nature of financial decisions.
- c) Honest: While honesty is essential in many contexts, it does not fit the financial decision-making theme.
- d) Drastic: This implies a sudden or extreme action but does not accurately reflect the thoughtful consideration typically required in buying a home.
- e) None of the above: This option would imply that none of the provided words fit, which is incorrect as "important" does fit.
Conclusion
Choosing "Important" (option a) is the most logical and contextually appropriate choice. The phrase "one of the most important financial decisions" conveys the seriousness and significance of purchasing a home, reflecting the responsibility and long-term implications involved. Thus, option a 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.

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.

Sounak Khanna answered |
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.

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.
This makes Option C the correct choice among the given options.

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.

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.

Pranab Goyal answered |
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.

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’.
‘paranoid’ scientists. Logical scientists give ‘warnings’. But the talks of ‘paranoid’ scientists can be

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Aarav Sharma answered |
**Explanation:**
The correct answer is option **d) Survived**.
The sentence is in the past tense, and we are talking about a past event (the tragic incident). Therefore, we need to use the past tense of the verb "survive".
Let's look at the options given:
a) **Is surviving** - This is in the present tense, so it is not suitable for the past event described in the sentence.
b) **Could survive** - This is in the past conditional tense, which implies a hypothetical situation. It is not appropriate for describing what actually happened in the tragic incident.
c) **Survive** - This is in the present tense, so it is not suitable for the past event described in the sentence.
d) **Survived** - This is the past tense of the verb "survive" and is the correct option to use in this sentence. It indicates that none of the 145 passengers survived the tragic incident.
Therefore, option d) "Survived" is the correct answer.

Ishaan Roy answered |
Context: The sentence talks about the growing demand for farm loan waivers as a measure to address agrarian distress. However, the sentence also suggests that this measure alone cannot be a permanent solution to the problem.
Solution: The correct pair of words that fit both the blanks in the given order and make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct is "clamour, permanent."
Explanation:
• Clamour: The word "clamour" means a loud and persistent demand for something. In the given sentence, the word "clamour" fits the first blank as it suggests a growing demand for farm loan waivers.
• Permanent: The word "permanent" means lasting or continuing without interruption. In the given sentence, the word "permanent" fits the second blank as it suggests a long-term solution to agrarian distress.
• Other options:
- Slogans: The word "slogans" refers to a distinctive cry or phrase used by a group of people as a way of expressing a particular idea or message. While the word "slogans" fits the context of the first blank, the word "fixed" does not fit the second blank as it does not suggest a permanent solution.
- Demand: The word "demand" means an insistent and peremptory request, made as if by right. While the word "demand" fits the context of the first blank, the word "efficient" does not fit the second blank as it does not suggest a permanent solution.
- Areas: The word "areas" means a region or part of a town, a country, or the world. While the word "areas" fits the context of the first blank, the word "onetime" does not fit the second blank as it does not suggest a permanent solution.
- Request: The word "request" means an act of asking politely or formally for something. While the word "request" fits the context of the first blank, the word "sure" does not fit the second blank as it does not suggest a permanent solution.
Therefore, option 'C' is the correct answer.
Solution: The correct pair of words that fit both the blanks in the given order and make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct is "clamour, permanent."
Explanation:
• Clamour: The word "clamour" means a loud and persistent demand for something. In the given sentence, the word "clamour" fits the first blank as it suggests a growing demand for farm loan waivers.
• Permanent: The word "permanent" means lasting or continuing without interruption. In the given sentence, the word "permanent" fits the second blank as it suggests a long-term solution to agrarian distress.
• Other options:
- Slogans: The word "slogans" refers to a distinctive cry or phrase used by a group of people as a way of expressing a particular idea or message. While the word "slogans" fits the context of the first blank, the word "fixed" does not fit the second blank as it does not suggest a permanent solution.
- Demand: The word "demand" means an insistent and peremptory request, made as if by right. While the word "demand" fits the context of the first blank, the word "efficient" does not fit the second blank as it does not suggest a permanent solution.
- Areas: The word "areas" means a region or part of a town, a country, or the world. While the word "areas" fits the context of the first blank, the word "onetime" does not fit the second blank as it does not suggest a permanent solution.

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.

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

Explanation:
- The question is asking for the option that can fill the blank in the sentence to make it meaningfully complete.
- The sentence states that "Mortgage or home loan _____________ is essentially a life policy that covers the borrower against the non-payment of loan in case of his / her death."
- The blank is referring to a term that describes the concept of a life policy that covers the borrower against non-payment of a loan in case of death.
- Let's analyze the options to see which one fits the context:
a) Institution: This option does not fit the context because it does not refer to a life policy that covers the borrower against non-payment of a loan in case of death.
b) Function: This option does not fit the context because it does not refer to a life policy that covers the borrower against non-payment of a loan in case of death.
c) Insurance: This option fits the context because it refers to a life policy that covers the borrower against non-payment of a loan in case of death.
d) Rate: This option does not fit the context because it does not refer to a life policy that covers the borrower against non-payment of a loan in case of death.
e) None of the above: This option does not fit the context because option c) "Insurance" is the correct answer.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - Insurance.

Among the given options, options 2 and 4 can be eliminated, since they are grammatically wrong within themselves due to a mismatch between the tense of the two verbs. Now, among the remaining two options, clearly option 3 fits in better with the active voice of the sentence. Hence, it is the correct answer.

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.
