Direction: In the paragraph below there are five sentences. In each sentence there are pairs of highlighted words (A, B). Select the most appropriate words to form correct sentences. Then from the options given select the correct option.
There’s practically no improvement — even when the court A) mandated B) referred one can’t sell acid without a licence, there’s very little regulation on this. We started a campaign where volunteers secretly filmed A) buying B) throwing acid. They got it easily. But awareness has increased. There are fewer problems for survivors in A) doing B) getting jobs. Last year, two women got government jobs, albeit after a struggle. Earlier, one heard A) nasty B) bullish comments from people — but things have changed. Now people respect us — some even want to get pictures A) clicked B) clinked with us. Women have begun to speak out — and speaking up changes things.
Options
- AAABAA
- BABAAB
- CBAABA
- DABAAB
Correct answer
A. AABAA
Step-by-step solution
Regulation is needed on something only when it is passed or permitted by Law. Thus the court must have mandated the buying of Acid rather than referring it. So, choice A is preferred over here.
The earlier sentences express concern over the little regulation on buying and selling of Acid even after the court has mandated it to be stopped. This takes the same issue forward stating that a secret campaign has been running to showcase the flexibility of regulations. In benefit of which people can buy acid easily. So, the correct word should be “buying”.
Thus the sequence becomes AA.
The coming sentence talks about two survivors getting a government job. Thus the previous sentence should also be based upon “getting a job” rather than maintaining the job. So, choice B is more suitable.
As we can see in the paragraph that “Change in society” is observed, thus earlier there has to be some negativity which is now changed and things are getting positive. So, use of& “nasty” is correct. So, choice A is correct.
Clinked means to make a sound through striking objects, which is simply absurd as photographs can be clicked rather than clinked. So, choice A is correctly placed.
Thus the sequence is AABAA.
Hence option A is correct.
