Directions:

Pick out the most effective word from the given words to fill in the blanks to make the sentence meaningfully complete.

Question : 26

In about 10 days, the I-T act has detected about a half-a-dozen serious cases of evasion and _______.

a) Fraud

b) Failure

c) Bravery

d) Amazement

e) Futile

Answer: (a)

Meaning of words: Evasion - The act of physically escaping something, Amazement - A feeling of surprise, Futile - Waste.

With the negative word ‘Evasion’ before the blank, it simply directs to have a negative word only after ‘and’. The word ‘And’ is used to connect words that convey same sense - positive-positive or negative-negative. This cancels the options - Bravery, Amazement as these words are positive. Failure doesn’t suit here.
