Directions (6-10): Each question below has two blanks. There are five pairs of words below the sentence. Each pair is lettered. Choose the pair of words which can be filled up in the blanks in the sentence in the same order so as to complete the sentences meaningfully.
 
 
6. With just three months left in state assembly elections, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Rao Bhagwat will be on a 10-day ________ of Rajasthan where he will __________ in Jodhpur, Nagaur and Jaipur.

Ans:4 The word ‘manages’ for the second blank doesn’t impart complete sense to the sense, but an incomplete sense. Jet Airways would manage its 49% stake… If the stakes were already belonged to Jet Airways, what is the need to state that it would manages its own stake. That’s already understood. The option which provides correct and relevant alternatives to the blank is the option (d).
  8. Solar capacity installations _______ the country is at 25,000 megawatts (MW), or ____________ of the 2022 target of 100,000 MW, according to Mercom India research.

Ans:2 The context of the sentence suggests that the blank would be filled by a preposition to impart a correct relationship between ‘Solar capacity installations is at 25,000 megawatts (MW)’ and ‘the country’. The phrase ‘______ the country’ is behaving as an adverb-phrase. Among the given alternatives for the first blank, the correct preposition to be used is ‘in’. Now, 25,000 megawatts (MW) is one-fourth of the 100,000 MW. So, the correct answer is the option (b)
  9. On Monday, the government _______________ that it would merge Bank of Baroda (Bank of Baroda), Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank to form the third largest ______________ in India.

Notice that the word ‘lender’ is a synonym for the word ‘bank’. For the first blank, both ‘announced’ and ‘decided’ are appropriate. Considering the above, the correct option which imparts correct and relevant words to the blanks is the option (a). Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Ans:5 The phrase ‘reducing dependence on imported fossil fuel…’ suggests that the proposal was approved. For the second blank, the appropriate words are ‘carrier’ and ‘railways’. From above, it can be derived that the correct answer is option (e).
