Question 51

Read the following statement carefully and fill up the blanks from the given options.

As _________evolved and eventually moved to cities, close proximity ____________how we viewed and assessed each_________.

Solution

Option B is the correct answer.

Option B, “generations, changed, other,” is correct because it fits grammatically and contextually into the sentence. The term “generations” refers to people over time, “changed” indicates a transformation or evolution in perception or behaviour, and “other” refers to other individuals. So, the sentence “As generations evolved and eventually moved to cities, close proximity changed how we viewed and assessed each other” makes sense both grammatically and idiomatically.

Option A “civilization, enhanced, situation” is incorrect because “enhanced” implies improvement or augmentation, which doesn’t necessarily follow from the close proximity of civilization. Also, “situation” is too vague in this context.

Option C, “culture, helped, life,” is incorrect because “helped” implies assistance or facilitation, which is not necessarily a result of cultural evolution or urban migration. Also, “life” is too broad and doesn’t fit well in this context.

Option D, “lives, destroyed, culture”, is incorrect because “destroyed” implies a negative impact or destruction, which is not necessarily a result of the evolution of lives. Also, “culture” doesn’t fit well in the context of assessing each other.

Option E, “people, helped, the nation”, is incorrect because while “people” could fit in the first blank, “helped” doesn’t necessarily follow from people moving to cities. Also, “nation” doesn’t fit well in the context of assessing each other.
