Directions (1-5): Which of the following phrases (I), (II), and (III) given below each sentence will fit into the blank to make the sentence grammatically correct? Choose the best option among the five given alternatives that reflect the correct use of phrase in the context of the grammatically correct sentence.

 

  1. The rise in private final consumption expenditure has decelerated over the past several quarters and _________________________ in investments for close to two years now.
[I] there has been virtually no pick-up

[II] there had been no evidence of increase

[III] there was a growth

(a) Only (I)

(b) Both (I) and (II)

(c) Only (II)

(d) Both (I) and (III)

(e) All (I), (II) and (III)

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Only expression (I) and expression (II) fits into the grammatical syntax and contextual meaning of the sentence. As the phrase [private final consumption expenditure has decelerated] depicts a negative action which is connected using the conjunction ‘and’ therefore, the subsequent action should also be negative which is provided by expression (I) and (II).  However, expression (III) [there was a growth] indicates a positive action but the phrase thus, expression (III) becomes contextually incorrect. Hence, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

 

  1. Rules are reversing _________________________ monetary and fiscal policies, from monetary accommodation of fiscal deficits (FDs) to independence of central banks with restraints on FDs.
[I] the context between

[II] the equation among

[III] the relationship between

(a) Only (I)

(b) Only (III)

(c) Only (II)

(d) Both (I) and (III)

(e) All (I), (II) and (III)

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Only expression (III) provides an appropriate context to the sentence. Expression (II) becomes incorrect as the sentence is expressing a relationship or equation between two objects [monetary policies and fiscal policies] therefore, the correct preposition required here is “between” instead of “among”. Moreover, expression (I) fails to provide a coherent meaning to the sentence. Hence option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

 

  1. In the Indian economic structure, monetary policy affects demand relatively more than inflation, while fiscal policy _________________________ supply side costs and therefore inflation.
[I] are affecting on

[II] influence a nation’s economy

[III] has a greater impact on

(a) Only (I)

(b) Only (III)

(c) Only (II)

(d) Both (I) and (III)

(e) All (I), (II) and (III)

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Only expression (III) provides an appropriate context to the sentence. Expression (I) becomes incorrect as the subject is singular [fiscal policy] therefore, it requires a singular verb to comprehend with subject-verb agreement. Moreover, expression (II) fails to provide meaningful context to the sentence. As, only expression (III) fits in the grammatical and contextual syntax of the sentence option (b) becomes the most feasible answer choice.

 

  1. The press is trying _________________________, and the feds are trying to hush them up so they can move about in secret.
[I] to expose corruption in the town

[II] to blow the town wide open

[III] to pull over the town

(a) Only (I)

(b) Only (III)

(c) Only (II)

(d) Both (I) and (II)

(e) All (I), (II) and (III)

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. Only expression (I) and (II) are correct. It is to be noted that ‘to blow something wide open’ means to expose corrupt practices or a secret plan. Thus, expression (I) and (II) perfectly fits in the context and grammatical syntax of the sentence. Moreover, the phrase ‘pull over’ means move to the side of or off the road, therefore, expression (III) fails to add meaning to the sentence. Hence, option (d) is the most suitable answer choice.

 

  1. RERA _________________________ that empowers the consumer by putting more information on housing projects in the public domain with a regulatory mechanism to address complaints.
[I] is an innovative act

[II] is a pathbreaking reform

[III] is a pioneering amelioration

(a) Only (I)

(b) Only (III)

(c) Only (II)

(d) Both (I) and (II)

(e) All (I), (II) and (III)

Answer & Explanation
Ans. e

Exp. All the given three expressions can be used to fill the blank making the sentence coherent. It is to be noted that the sentence is describing about a pathbreaking or an innovative act that benefits consumer.

Therefore, as all the three expressions make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful option (e) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
