Directions: The question below has two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for each blank that best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Ashima _________ her team with a lot of skill and the ______ increase in the sales by the team is a measure of her success.

'Manages' is the appropriate verb for leadership with skill. 'Significant' indicates a notable increase in sales, which demonstrates success. The other options (dominates, condemns, directs, overpowers) with their paired adjectives (poor, sudden, worthless, exceptional) don't create a logical positive statement about successful leadership.
