Fill in the Blanks

Coherent is correct in this context because everything must be understandable, which coherent means.

A case that police have struggled to solve for five years would be described as 'complicated' (intricate, difficult to understand or resolve). 'Complete' means finished or whole, which doesn't fit the context.

Complex puzzles have 'complexities' (intricate parts or difficulties that make them hard to solve). 'Complications' refers to additional problems or medical issues, not the inherent complexity of puzzles.

A husband-wife relationship is often 'complicated' (difficult to navigate due to emotional complexity). 'Complex' means having many parts, while 'complicated' specifically suggests difficulty in understanding or resolving.

Subsequent means following in time or order - the years after the decision was made. 'Consequent' means resulting as an effect, which doesn't fit the temporal context of 'years' appearing after an action.

 Cosmic refers to the nature of outer space and so it cannot be used for to describe a person's appearance. Comical can such as in the following sentence "With the big red nose, wild wig and face paint, the clown looked comical and made me laugh when I saw him.

 We need the adjective (comical) to tell us the quality of stories. Comic will be funny (ridiculous).

After 'issue of', we need the noun 'concern' (a matter of interest or worry). 'Concerned' is an adjective or verb form that would need a different sentence structure (e.g., 'people are concerned').

 Cases are complicated; problems are complex.

When comparing different entities (an established actor vs new heroes), 'compared to' is traditionally correct. 'Compared with' suggests examining similarities between comparable things, though modern usage often treats them as interchangeable.

Correct Answer: compared to  We use 'compare to' when we see similarities, i.e. to point out or imply resemblances. 'Compared with' is used to point out differences.  The similar achievements are being referred to.

Heavily best explains the manner in which the door was pounded.

This is a simple one to crack. If we see the logic of the sentence, then for second blank we can conclude that as swadeshi does not provide value, it should not be continued. If we consider the options, the only good option we have is (4) which deals with the same line of thought as inferred by reading the statement.

According to the options available to us, only (2) and (3) are choices which have a probability of being the answer. Now, we have to see the better choice out of these. Japanese 'expertise' can't be manufactured but 'brands' can be built. So, answer is (3).

The word suggestion in the 2^nd blank is grammatically incorrect. Similarly, the word trial is grammatically wrong for the 2^nd blank. The word 'ask' does not make sense in the 2^nd blank, instead it should have been ask for. But even then 'ask for deglamorisation' would not be a proper usage because such things are recommended or ordered. The logically correct word would be recommend. Thus, (3) is the correct option choice.
