It was very cold outside, and the fire we lit was dimming down; hence I decided to _______________ it a bit.

Detailed Solution for Test: Fill in the Blank - 1 - Question 1

“Stoke” means “add coal or other solid fuel to (a fire, furnace, boiler, etc.)”. The word “stoke” fits the blank perfectly.

“Soak” and “strike” do not make any sense here either grammatically or contextually.

“Soak” means make or allow (something) to become thoroughly wet by immersing it in liquid

“Strike” means hit forcibly and deliberately with one's hand or a weapon or other implement

“Increase” may also fit the blank, but “stoke” is more appropriate in the given context.

“Embezzling” means misappropriating/stealing of funds placed in one's trust or belonging to one's employer. Hence, it does not fit the context properly.

The word ‘frauding’ is incorrect. “Fraud” is a noun; ‘-ing’ cannot be added to it. Hence, it can also be eliminated.

“Swindling” means ‘use deception to deprive (someone) of money or possessions’. It also does not fit the context properly.

“Looting” means ‘steal goods from (a place), typically during a war or riot”. It also does not fit the context aptly.

“Benevolent” means well-meaning and kindly

“Magnanimous” means generous or forgiving, especially towards a rival or less powerful person
