Sentence Completion

The sentence describes someone with such a commanding personality that they earned respect from both admirers and opponents. 'Opponents' is the correct choice because it contrasts with 'admirers' while fitting the context of someone who commands respect through strength of character, even from those who compete against them.

'Instrumental' means playing a crucial or significant role in achieving something. JP (Jayaprakash Narayan) was instrumental in launching and leading the people's movement in India. The other options don't fit: 'useful' is too weak, 'leader' doesn't grammatically fit, and 'operational' has a different meaning.

 Pre-eminant is correct because he "stands out" due to his strict adherence to Gandhian values.

'Acknowledged' means to recognize or accept the value or significance of something. By honoring JP with Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, the nation formally acknowledged and recognized his great services to the country. 'Approved' means consented to, 'appreciated' means valued (weaker), and 'admired' means viewed with respect (not the formal act here).

Sustainable means a solution that can be maintained over the long term without depleting resources or causing harm. Productive employment provides ongoing income and economic stability, making it the only enduring solution to poverty. Necessary means simply required, not necessarily lasting. Satisfactory implies barely adequate, while required is similar to necessary.

Unsung heroes is a standard idiom referring to people who do great work without receiving recognition or fame. The phrase perfectly fits the context of ordinary people working quietly for social change while political leaders and activists get attention. Unknown and unfamiliar are too literal. Obscure suggests unclear or hidden, not unacknowledged.

Potential threat means a threat that exists but has not yet fully manifested - frustrated people may disrupt society but haven't necessarily done so yet. Helpless and forsaken describe passive victims who can't threaten anything. Grave threat means the threat already exists and is serious, but the sentence suggests the threat is latent, not current.

Advocates means people who publicly support or recommend a cause - student organizations should fight for students' interests. The sentence contrasts being champions of student causes with being poor copies of political parties. Leaders and masters suggest authority over students, not support for them. Advisors implies giving suggestions, not active campaigning.

Magnitude refers to great size, extent, or importance - unemployment is a massive problem requiring understanding of its full scale. Scope and size are too limited. Potential means capability for future development, not current reality. Magnitude captures both the scale and seriousness of the issue.

Malnourished means not having proper nutrition, which is a critical health issue affecting millions of Indian children. Gluttonous means eating excessively (the opposite problem). Sick is too general - could mean any illness. Psychic relates to the mind, not nutrition. Malnourished precisely captures the health crisis of undernourishment.

Impressed means made a strong positive impact on someone's feelings or mind. The sentence describes her radiant appearance that immediately affected everyone positively. Inspired suggests motivation, which doesn't fit mere physical appearance. Pleased is too mild. Antagonized means provoked hostility - the opposite of the intended meaning.

Reason refers to rational thinking and logic. Gandhiji opposed untouchability because it violated rational principles of human equality. Myriad means countless or many. Norms are societal customs. Legislature refers to law-making bodies. Reason is the best fit because Gandhiji framed untouchability as a logical inconsistency, not just a social norm or legal issue.

Elude means to escape or avoid capture - success cannot escape someone fully dedicated to their work. The sentence suggests mental and physical commitment makes success inevitable. Entice means to attract temptingly. Distract means to draw attention away. Inveigle means to persuade by coaxing or flattery. Elude fits the context of success slipping away from those not committed.

Teach means to impart knowledge or values - parents should actively instill the importance of education in their children. Realize and understand are cognitive processes children might do themselves, not actions parents take. Impress might suggest communicating strongly, but teach is more direct for instilling values. Teach best captures the active role of parental guidance.

Outcry means a strong public expression of anger or disapproval - fits public anger against corruption and inefficiency. Response is too neutral. Protest suggests organized demonstrations. Agitation implies active campaigning or disturbance. Outcry captures the spontaneous public anger and vocal opposition to poor governance.

Incorporate means to include or integrate into a whole - development should include women rather than serving patriarchal ends. Associate means to connect with. Assimilate means to absorb into a larger culture (can imply losing identity). Incorporate best captures bringing women into development while maintaining their interests, not just absorbing them.

The idiom 'Two's company, three's a crowd' means that while two people can enjoy each other's company, adding a third person makes the situation uncomfortable or awkward. 'Crowd' is the correct word that completes this well-known expression.

The phrase 'crime never pays' is a common idiom meaning that criminal behavior never results in long-term benefit or profit. 'Pays' here means 'is profitable' or 'brings good results'. The other words don't fit this established expression.

'Hang on' is a phrasal verb meaning to persist, to continue trying, or to not give up. In the context of success, it refers to the ability to persevere through difficulties. The other prepositions don't form the correct phrasal verb in this context.

Elementary means basic, fundamental, or introductory. In this context, 'elementary lessons of discipline' refers to the basic, foundational teachings about discipline that children should learn. The other words (complex, important, significant) don't convey this sense of foundational learning.

This appears to reference the idiom 'a jack of all trades' (someone who can do many things). However, the phrasing 'Few Jacks are ever successful' is unusual and may be a poorly constructed question. While 'Jacks' is the claimed answer referencing this idiom, the wording is confusing.

Exert means to apply force, effort, or oneself vigorously towards something. 'A man can exert himself' means he can apply effort or strain himself. This fits perfectly with the context of limited human capacity for striving or effort.

'A bundle of nerves' is an idiom describing someone who is extremely nervous, anxious, or tense. As a decisive moment approaches, feeling nervous is natural. 'Nerves' here refers to nervousness or anxiety, not physical nerves in the body.

Haughtiness means arrogant superiority and disdain for others. It's a stronger form of arrogance that specifically implies an off-putting, condescending attitude that would naturally lead to unpopularity and having few friends. Pride and arrogance are milder, while impertinence is about rudeness, not necessarily superiority.

This is referencing the famous saying 'The man who wins is the man who thinks he can,' which emphasizes the power of self-belief and confidence. 'Can' expresses capability and possibility - the key quality that separates winners from those who doubt themselves.
