Question : 17

Harrison and Clint were among those who ____________ interest in the project but eventually backed out.

a) Evinced

b) Perpetuated

c) Finalized

d) Initially

e) Cajole

Answer: (a)

Meaning: Evinced - Indicate an interest or feeling, Perpetuated - make something continue indefinitely, Cajole - to influence someone by flattering

“But” used for conjunction here, it directly shows that the clauses of the sentence show contrast (positive-negative or negative-positive). With “Backing out” in the second clause which is negative, we find that the verb in first clause must be positive. Evinced which means opposite to “backed out” fits here.
