Each question contains a sentence with a blank. Below the sentence, 4 words are given out of which 2 can be used to fill the blank meaningfully. Choose the option that contains the words that can be used to fill the blank:

Question 1: Pope Thomas decided to ______________ Mother Teresa to honour her contributions to the mankind.

b) B-C

c) A-D

d) C-D

e) B-D

1) Answer (E)

Solution:

From the sentence, it is clear that the word used must contain a positive connotation.
’Ostracize’ and ‘repudiate’ means to outcast someone. Therefore, we can eliminate these words.

’Canonize’ means to officially declare someone as a saint. ‘Beatify’ means to declare someone as holy and blessed. Therefore, both of these words can fill the blanks. Both B and D can fill the blanks. Therefore, option E is the right answer.

a) A-B

d) A-D

e) C-D

2) Answer (B)

Solution:

From the sentence, it is clear that the missing word must give the meaning of ‘tour’ or ‘visit’.
Souvenir means an object used as a reminder of a place.
Sojourn means a short tour.
Tarriance also means a short tour.
Serendipity means a happy accident.

Both ‘sojourn’ and ‘tarriance’ can be used to fill the blank. Therefore, option B is the right answer.

c) B-D

d) A-C

e) C-D

3) Answer (D)

Solution:

’Stomach’ or ‘digest’ means ‘to accept’. Therefore, both A and C can be used to fill the blank. Therefore, option D is the right answer.

Question 4: The candidate assured that he will allocate funds to ______________ the dilapidated temple once he gets elected.
(A) relinquish
(B) revamp
(C) renovate
(D) reminiscent

a) B-C

b) A-B

c) B-D

d) A-C

e) C-D

4) Answer (A)

Solution:

From the sentence, it can be inferred that the temple is in a dilapidated (worn out) stage. Therefore, the word used to fill must address this issue (like renovating).

Clearly, renovate can take up the blank.
Relinquish means to give up voluntarily. This word cannot be used to fill the blank as it does not fit in with the context of the sentence.
Reminiscent means to remember. Therefore, we can eliminate this word too.
Revamp means to renovate. Therefore, renovate and revamp can fill the blank. Therefore, option A is the right answer.

(A) masquerade

a) B-C

5) Answer (C)

Solution:

From the sentence, it is clear that Raghu donated money to reduce his guilt.
Assuage and alleviate means to reduce.
Exacerbate means to increase.
Masquerade means to be an imposter.

As we can see, only Assuage and alleviate can fill the blank (B and D). Therefore, option C is the right answer.
