Directions:(1-5) Given below are sentences consisting of two blanks in each. Identify the most suitable alternative possessing the combination of the words that fails to make the sentence logical and meaningful.   1. The Integrated Agro-meteorological Advisory Service (IAAS) has been helping farmers _______________ income from crop production by _______________ them to cope with current, short-term climate-induced risk.

Ans:5 All the sets of words are absolutely correct and provide the precise meaning except ‘control and derogating’. ‘Control’ means the power to influence or direct people’s behavior or the course of events while ‘derogating’ means to deviate from (a set of rules or agreed form of behavior). As they fail to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful option (e) becomes the most suitable answer choice. Assisting means to help by providing money or information. Augment means make (something) greater by adding to it; increase. Escalate means to increase rapidly.
  2. As computing power has grown, it has become easier to _____________information hidden inside datasets that seem totally _____________.

Ans:4 All the combinations fit precisely in the given blanks except for option (d). However, in option (d) the first blank might get satisfied with the word “reveal” but the second word of option (d) i.e., “intelligence” doesn’t satisfy the second blank of the sentence. Therefore, option (d) is the correct choice. Detached means separate or disconnected, in particular: Unveil means show or announce publicly for the first time. Divulge means make known (private or sensitive information).
  3. We are told to blend into uniformity, our walks, laughter, words measured so that they don’t _____________ the _____________ silence of our unexpressed desires.

Ans:2 Only the words of option (b) fail to fill the blanks of the sentence meaningfully and logically. All the other words successfully make the sentence coherent. Rupture means breach or disturb (a harmonious feeling or situation) Pervasive means (especially of an unwelcome influence or physical effect) spreading widely throughout an area or a group of people Harmonize means add notes to (a melody) to produce harmony. Breach means an act of breaking or failing to observe a law, agreement, or code of conduct. Sever means put an end to (a connection or relationship); break off.
  4. Pricing strategies are programmed to _____________ profit over a long horizon and algorithms “learn” to behave _____________ on their own.

Ans:5 Both the words of all the options except for option (e) make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Therefore option (e) becomes the correct answer choice. Collusively means Acting in secret to achieve a fraudulent, illegal, or deceitful goal. Escalate means make (something) greater by adding to it; increase. Augment means make (something) greater by adding to it; increase. Cunningly means in a clever and deceitful way. Accumulate means gather together or acquire an increasing number or quantity of.
  5. Pre-election surveys were _____________ to know the problems that discouraged women from participating in the electoral process and to identify areas where _____________ were required.

Ans:1 Option (a) is the correct choice. The words ‘removed’ and ‘collections’ do not fit into the blank aptly and fail to make the sentence meaningful and logical. Interventions means the action or process of intervening. Interferences means the action of interfering or the process of being interfered with Intercessions means intervention in a dispute in order to resolve it; arbitration.

6. (1) A sense of dignity and self-respect goes missing in the national trait of ________________ some so-called ‘celebrity’. (2) When we reached the summit, we could hear the magpies calling out, but, to do them justice, they were not _______________ us then.

Ans:1 The word “ mobbing” means crowding round (someone) or into (a place) in an unruly way. Thus, the word fits perfectly into both the blanks and gives a meaningful sense to both the sentences which is not the case with the other given words. Hence option (a) is the correct choice. Retreat means move back or withdraw. Insert means place, fit, or push (something) into something else. Shun means persistently avoid, ignore, or reject (someone or something) through antipathy or caution.
  7. (1) Gender stereotyping in the classroom particularly among younger children, has an adverse impact on the learning abilities and _______________ of both boys and girls.      (2) Social institutions and mores were adapted to reflect the preferences, inclinations, values, goals and _______________ of the new elite.

Ans:3 The word “ worldview” means a particular philosophy of life or conception of the world.

Intention means a thing intended; an aim or plan. Regulation means a rule or directive made and maintained by an authority.
  8. (1) The ________________ of cryptocurrencies has been growing rapidly in India due to benefits in terms of anonymity, accessibility, speed, and cost. (2) His ________________ with the people was unbounded, but in the midst of it all he begged to be removed to London.

Ans:2 The word “ popularity” means the state or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people.
