NDA General Ability Question (2025) — Solution

Question

Given below are sentences that use discourse markers/expressions to make them complete. Identify the most appropriate discourse marker/expression and mark your answer accordingly in the Answer Sheet: __________, the problem is nothing but a wrong assumption about processes.

Options

  1. A. In the meanwhile
  2. B. Somewhat
  3. C. Engagingly
  4. D. In other words

Answer

D. In other words

Step-by-step solution

The sentence requires a discourse marker that introduces a clarification or a restatement of a previously mentioned concept. The phrase 'In other words' is used to express an idea in a different, usually simpler or more direct way. It perfectly fits the context of summarizing or explaining the core of the problem as 'nothing but a wrong assumption about processes'. The other options do not fit logically or grammatically: 'In the meanwhile' refers to time, 'Somewhat' indicates degree, and 'Engagingly' describes a manner of doing something. Answer: In other words
