Question : 21

We are unwilling to make any concession to their demands.

a) not willing in giving

b) not willing to take

c) willingly given

d) unwilling to take

e) No correction required

Answer: (a)

Concession’ is ‘given’ not ‘taken’. Therefore, options (a) and (d) having ‘take’ cannot be correct. Now, let us consider option (b). Here ‘willingly ’ has been used in place of ‘unwilling’.

We cannot be allowed to change a positive word into negative one. Hence this option is ruled out. Now, we are left with option (c). This option is flawless, hence it should be the correct option.
