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
- A. In the meanwhile
- B. Somewhat
- C. Engagingly
- 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
