Question 71

(71)

Solution

We can infer that people come out on the street unmindful of the weather to look forward to the festival. 'Herald' means to signal the arrival of something. 'Moot' means to be considered doubtful. 'Boycott' means to reject something. Therefore, 'herald' is the correct term to be used to fill the blank and hence, option A is the right answer.
