  1. scrutinisation

  2. delineation

  3. extortion

  4. cloistering
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The passage discusses implementing political reforms across all areas. '...and _(x)__ in all political fields' requires a noun for implementation or application. Scrutinisation means close examination or critical inspection, which fits the context of applying reforms with oversight. Delineation means description or boundary-drawing, extortion means obtaining by coercion, and cloistering means shutting away. Scrutinisation best fits the need for careful implementation of reforms.

Multiple choice

Directions: Fill in the blanks:

Though he presented his views with a great ________ but they were quite ________.

  1. cannon, taciturn

  2. furore, tenable

  3. treachery, totting

  4. buxom, tawdry

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires words that create logical contrast. Furore means an excited or passionate public response, and tenable means defensible or reasonable. This makes sense: someone presented views with great excitement/passion, but the views themselves were not well-supported. The options don't form coherent sentence logic.

She seems to become so ________ after her husband's death that nothing can now ________ her heart.

  1. congealed, digress

  2. congealed, sunder

  3. somber, bilge

  4. fracas, sunder
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

'Congealed' means solidified or thickened, used metaphorically to describe someone becoming emotionally hardened or cold. 'Sunder' means to break apart or separate. The sentence suggests she became emotionally hardened after her husband's death, and now nothing can break through that emotional armor.
