(a) Fraud

(b) Failure

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.

b) Jeopardize

c) Defective

d) Convenient

e) Proposition

Answer: (a)

Meaning: Palpable - capable of being handled, jeopardize - put something is a situation of danger, Proposition - a statement of judgment or opinion.

The noun - resentment can’t be preceded with “Jeopardize and Proposition” as all these words are nouns.

Resentment means feeling of anger over something. Feeling of anger can’t be “defective or convenient”.

“Palpable” which means capable of being handled is a suitable adjective before resentment.

a) Traverses

b) Critique

c) Wanes

d) Forecasts

e) Valorize

Answer: (a)

Meaning: Traverses - to travel across or through, Critique - a detailed analysis of something, Wanes - becomes weaker, Valorize - to give value to something

“Critique and Wanes” can’t be filled in the blank because the sentence tells about praise by someone for a movie and these words give a negative sense. Also, “a couple that forecasts/valorize (giving value to) decades and continents” makes no sense. “Traverses” which means ‘to travel through’, suits to the phrase.
