Come October and you are burnt by the mid-day Sun. The storm and the sizzle is particularly __70__ as it comes after the relatively cool monsoon months.

And it must be shopping time also, colourfully decorated showrooms are __72__ the passerby to let his hair down, splurge and take a __73__ of gifts home for family. After all, the New Year is just around.

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.
