Test: Text Completion- 3 - Question 1

Like other great champions, Sampras has also experienced ____ in his career: He has had his moments of _____ and he has also suffered ____.

Q. Appropriate word for blank (i)

Detailed Solution for Test: Text Completion- 3 - Question 1

The most appropriate word for the blank (i) in the sentence is vacillations.

Explanation:

  • Vacillations refers to wavering between different opinions or actions, which can be a common experience in a long career, even for great champions. It implies periods of uncertainty or indecision.
  • Fickleness and capriciousness suggest inconsistency or unpredictability in behavior, which is not the intended meaning in this context. The sentence seems to be describing the ups and downs or fluctuations in Sampras's career, rather than inconsistency in his behavior or decisions.

So, the sentence would read:

"Like other great champions, Sampras has also experienced vacillations in his career: He has had his moments of triumph and he has also suffered defeats."

Test: Text Completion- 3 - Question 6

Because Istanbul lies in two continents – Asia and Europe, its culture is a fascinating _______ of both Asian and European cultures.

Detailed Solution for Test: Text Completion- 3 - Question 6


This is a relatively straightforward single blank sentence. If we use our own word in the blank (without looking at the answer options), we can say that since Istanbul lies in both Asia and Europe, it has a good combination of both cultures. The only word which matches the meaning is answer option C.

Test: Text Completion- 3 - Question 7

Getting a private pilot's license is expensive affair in Europe, but this problem can be _______ if one obtains a license from certain south-east Asian countries where the cost of the license is much lesser.

Detailed Solution for Test: Text Completion- 3 - Question 7


Understanding the context can sometimes clearly tell us the meaning of the word which has to be placed there.

The cost of getting a private pilot's license is very high in Europe and lower in some south-east Asian countries. If a prospective pilot has to get his or her license in Europe, he or she will face the problem of high cost. But this cost can be avoided (using our own word here) if the license is obtained in a south-east Asian country, The only word which has the same meaning as “avoided” is circumvented. Answer option D.

Averted is a close answer option, but it is not correct because when a problem is averted, it goes away, or does not happen. In this case, the costs will still remain high in Europe even if pilots get their licenses in Asia. So the problem is only circumvented.
