Directions:

The following question has two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for each blank that best fits in the context of the sentence.

Question :1

Partnerships with edtech firms help students _________ their skills and become _________ to the ecosystem.

Answer: (d)

In the context of the sentence, "hone" or "polish" can fit the first blank and this eliminates options A, B and C. Further, as refining their skills would help the students become a better and more significant part of the work ecosystem, "relevant" is the most appropriate choice for the second blank. Thus, option E gets eliminated as well.

Option D is hence the correct answer.

Question :2

They fear that any original thinking or non-conformist initiative may attract accusations of _________, making PSU managers shun risk and stick to procedures and _________ rather than break out boldly in new directions.

Answer: (c)

The word "accusations" before the first blank indicates that it is something ‘negative' in nature. In the context of the sentence, the words that are suitable for the first blank are "transgression", "malfeasance" and "wrongdoing". Hence options E and B are eliminated.

"Rather than" after the second blank shows that it has to be the opposite of "break out boldly in new directions" ,i.e., ‘following standards that have already been set'. The only word that makes the sentence meaningfully correct is "precedents" which means ‘an earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances'. The words "peculiarities" and "projects" are irrelevant to the context of this sentence. This eliminates options D and A as well.

Option C is hence the correct answer.

Question :3

Additional benefits include _________ training cost incurred post recruitment and a _________ churn as learners develop more ownership in their roles.

Answer: (a)

Both the blanks state the "additional benefits.

"Training cost" after the first blank indicates that the cost should be ‘negligible' in order for this to be a benefit. In the context of the sentence, the words which are suitable for the first blank are "nominal", "insignificant" and "minimal". Hence options C and B are eliminated.

The second blank states the type of churn. Employee churn is the overall turnover in an organization's staff as existing employees leave and new ones are hired. Churn should be ‘low' in order for this to be a benefit.

So for the second blank, the only word that makes the sentence meaningfully correct is "lesser". The words "greater" and "higher" are opposite to the context of this sentence. This eliminates options D and E as well.

Option A is hence the correct answer.

Question :4

Reportedly, heavy machines could not reach the collapsed building in the Dongri area in South Mumbai as the lanes, with overhead wires _________ , were too _________to admit them.

Answer: (a)

"Overhead wires" before the first blank indicate that the blank describes the state of the wires. In the context of the sentence, the words which are suitable for the first blank are "hanging", "drooping" and "dangling". Hence options C and B are eliminated.

The second blank refers to the reason why the lanes could not permit the heavy machines to reach the collapsed building. The only word that makes the sentence meaningfully correct is "narrow" meaning that the lanes were not wide enough. The words "wide" and "broad" are opposite to the context of this sentence. This eliminates options D and E as well.

Option A is hence the correct answer.

Question :5

There's always the danger that if we take too long, warming will have _________ to the point where melting ice emits methane, creating yet more temperature _________.

Answer: (a)

The first blank describes that state of "warming" where "melting ice emits methane". In the context of the sentence, the words which are suitable for the first blank are "amplified", "intensified" and "increased". Hence options C and B are eliminated.

The second blank is a continuation of the effects of high temperature. The only word that makes the sentence meaningfully correct is "rises". The words "stabilizes" and "corners" are irrelevant to the context of this sentence. This eliminates options D and E as well.

Option A is hence the correct answer.
