Directions: In each of the following questions a short passage is given with one of the lines in the passage missing and represented by a blank. Select the best out of the five answer choices given, to make the passage complete and coherent (coherent means logically complete and sound).
A dynasty of politicians is not unheard of in world politics. The Kennedy-clan in the U.S. is one such example. ______________________________. But in India, there seems to be a difference. The uncle-nephew spat in the political hierarchy in the ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh has once again demonstrated the fragility of political dispensations that depend largely on the numerical strength of kith and kin. It goes without saying that the simmering discontent between family members in the party will have a destabilizing effect on the politics of the State.
Options
- AYet, this Kennedy-clan exerted enormous power thanks to the seniority and committee chairmanships.
- BThe Kennedy Family has been a major part of the Democrat Party for a century.
- CThe Kennedy family is an American family that has been prominent in American politics, public service, and business during the 20th century.
- DYet as prominent members in American politics, John, Robert and Edward Kennedy did contribute fairly to the betterment of the U.S.
Correct answer
D.
Yet as prominent members in American politics, John, Robert and Edward Kennedy did contribute fairly to the betterment of the U.S.
Step-by-step solution
Other than the option D, all other sentences centre around Kennedy family and none of these sentences adds any meaning to the context the paragraph.
Option D while referring to the US politics, however, presents a contrast between a dynasty of politicians in the USA and a dynasty of politicians in India. The sentence clearly fits the blank both grammatically and contextually.
Option D is hence the correct answer.
