    In the ________ silence their shoes _________ loudly on the tarmac, one softly calling _________ and commands.

    Solutions

    Tarmac is a brand name for a black material used for building roads, etc., that consists of tar mixed with small stones, or an area covered with this material. 
    Option A: Clamorous means making a loud and confused noise. ‘Clamorous silence’ makes no sense. Thus, it can’t be used. 

    Option B: Strained means not relaxed or comfortable; tense or uneasy. Scraped means to drag or pull a hard or sharp implement across a surface or object so as to remove dirt or other matter. Cadence is a rhythmic flow of a sequence of sounds or words. In other words, it means the way in which someone's voice gets higher or lower as they speak, especially the fall of their voice at the end of a sentence. 

    Option C: Importunate means repeatedly asking for something, in a forceful and annoying way. Thus, it can’t be used. 

    Option D: Absolute means total. Rebuffed means reject someone or something in an abrupt or ungracious manner. It does not fit in the second blank. Thus, it can’t be used. 
    Option E: Lustred is the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal, rock, or mineral. It does not fit in the second blank. Thus, it can’t be used. 
    Therefore, option B is the apt answer.

    The three young confessors are forthwith cast into the midst of the _______ furnace, and their enemies lift the ________ shout of _________ at the success of their villainous plot.

    Solutions

    The sentence is easy to comprehend. The first word should mean ‘heat/burning.’ The second word should mean ‘loud/unpleasant.’ The third word should mean ‘triumphant/victory.’ 

    Option A: Fiery refers to something consisting of fire or burning strongly and brightly. Fiendish means extremely cruel or unpleasant. Exultation refers to a feeling of triumphant elation or jubilation; rejoicing. 

    Options B and E: Cherubic means having the innocence or plump prettiness of a young child. Thus, ‘cherubic shout’ makes no sense. 

    Options C and D: Snivelling means cry and sniffle; complain in a whining or tearful way. Thus, it does not fit in the context of the sentence. 

    Therefore, option A is the apt answer.

    The ________ view that the executive is not answerable in the matter of exercising of ________ power has long been _________.

    Solutions

    Option A: Prevalent means widespread. Dispositive is relating to or bringing about the settlement of an issue or the disposition of property. Established means having existed or done something for a long time and therefore recognized and generally accepted. Prevalent and established does not go well with each other in this sentence. Thus, this option is less appropriate as fillers. 
    Option B: Dimensional means relating to measurements or dimensions. It also refers to something/someone having sufficient depth and substance to be believable. But using this word can make the sentence ambiguous. Thus, it should be avoided. 
    Option C: ‘The modern view’ and ‘has long been scraped’ does not go well with each other in this sentence. Thus, this option can’t be used. 
    Option D: Traditional means something existing in or as part of a tradition; long-established. The prerogative is a right or privilege exclusive to a particular individual or class. Discarded means to get rid of someone or something as no longer useful or desirable. 
    Option E: Reticent means not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily. Thus, it can’t be used as ‘reticent view’ makes no sense in the context of the sentence. 
    Therefore, option D is the apt answer.

    He was quite interested in joining the skating club, but gave up the idea when a reliable _________ informed him how he had __________ that the club was a __________ one.

    Solutions

    ‘Fagged’ is used to imply that someone is extremely tired; exhausted. ‘Fervent’ is 

    having or displaying a passionate intensity, while ‘fervid’ is being intensely enthusiastic or passionate about something. ‘Fraud’ is wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in a financial or personal gain. As per the sentence, the subject is informed something by a reliable resource, which most probably is a person. Hence, ‘friend’ fills the first blank. In light of the new information, the subject ultimately decided not to join the club, hence the club must’ve been a ‘fraudulent’ one. Further, as per the structure of the sentence, the word which best fits the second blank is ‘found’. Therefore, option B is the required answer.

    She had just realized that her _______ allies were the ones who ______ the very gossip she apparently ________.

    Solutions

    An ally is a person or organization that cooperates with or helps another in a particular activity. So, the word in the first blank should mean ‘loyal/honest/dependable,’ the word in the second blank should mean ‘spread/started/continued’ and the word in the third blank should mean ‘dislike/hated.’ 
    Unreliable means not able to be relied upon. So, ‘unreliable allies’ makes less sense in the context of the sentence. Thus, options A and B cannot be used. 

    Option C: Staunchest means very loyal and committed in attitude. Abhorred means to regard with disgust and hatred. This word can be used in the second blank if the word in the third blank means ‘loved/relish.’ Loathed means feel intense dislike or disgust for something. Thus, it makes no sense. 

    Option D: Weightier means something/someone having a great deal of influence on events or decisions. Ravaged means to cause severe and extensive damage to something. ‘Ravaged the very gossip’ makes no sense. Thus, it can’t be used. 

    Option E: Staunchest means very loyal and committed in attitude. Perpetuated means to make something continue indefinitely. Abhorred means to regard with disgust and hatred. 

    Therefore, option E is the apt answer.
