Question 78

Fill in the Blanks: I should not have to talk in such a strain especially when I had not studied the man to whom I was talking.

Solution

The word in the first blank should be a verb in the past tense. This rules out options a) and b). The meaning of 'peremptory' is 'insisting on immediate obedience or attention'. This is a better fit in the second blank compared to 'reckless'. Option c) is the correct answer.
