Multiple choice

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

Despite a growing _________ that a lot needs to be done to help those without clean water, a _______ says that more than 34 million people die every year of water borne diseases.

  1. interest, reason

  2. recognition, report

  3. fantasy, review

  4. authority, legend

  5. turbulence, logic
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence clearly states that more and more people are becoming aware or are recognising the need for helping those without clean water. So, 'recognition' is the correct answer for first blank. The figures given in the latter part of sentence can be a part of a report but not of reason/logic/legend/review. So, option 2 is the correct answer.
