Cheatsheet: Fill in the Blanks | IBPS Clerk Prelims 2024 Preparation - Bank Exams PDF Download

First word of all the options could fit the first blank grammatically as well as contextually, but the second word makes a difference here.

In option A, ‘inspirations’ seems contextually incorrect.   In option B, ‘requirements’ is redundant as it means the same as “needs”.

In option C, ‘aspirations’ absolutely fits the context as well grammar. Aspiration is different from ‘need’ in a way that “need“ refers to the necessities of an individual whereas ‘aspiration” is more about luxurious desires of an individual.

Hence option C is correct. 

In the first blank, the only options that fit in are option B and D- conceived and conceptualized. However, satire meaning spoof does not make sense in either of the statements as the second blank. Deepens on the other hand is a perfect fit.

Hence, option B is the best fit here.

According to the context of the sentence we are saying that the large cap funds have not been able to perform properly in the recent times and that is why the retail investors must have been interested in the ETF segment.
