    Two boys ______ the prize for General Proficiency.

    Give and decided are out of context. Deputed is also out of context as it means to ask someone to act or speak on your behalf. The correct answer has to be shared. The complete sentence would be, "Two boys shared the prize for General Proficiency".

    Since ________ tension had been building against the United States, fear of an _______ on the embassy seemed to be likely.
    Solutions
    The first word must be a correct adjective for tension so ‘amnesty’ which means ‘pardon’ cannot fit here. B is rejected too as it fails to convey a correct meaning. Option A is rejected as the second word does not convey any meaning. The word ‘extreme’ fits in the first blank and the word ‘ambuscade’ which means ‘a deadly strike’ conveys the correct meaning in the second blank. Thus C is the correct answer. The word ‘analogy’ means ‘a comparison between one thing and another’ and does not convey any meaning here.

    The lawyer used his proclivity for ________ to pull the jury over to his side.
    Solutions
    The sentence gives us a sense that the lawyer used some kind of trick to convince the jury. Here, the word “exaggeration” fits best as it means a statement that represents something as better or worse than it really is. When you exaggerate a fact, you state it much more extreme than it actually is. The meanings of the other words are:
    Extravagance means lack of restraint in spending money or using resources. Emphasis means special importance, value, or prominence given to something. Exaltation means a feeling or state of extreme happiness. None of these words fit in the sentence correctly.

    Mr Sarkar is one of my colleagues who _______ accompanying me.

    Solutions

    The combination "one of + plural noun + who/which/that" is always followed by a plural verb. Out of the given options, only option B is correct. Options C and D are incorrect as the main verb "accompanying" is in progressive form and "will" or "had" are not followed by any progressive verb.
    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    Joseph ______ from his job because he was _____ for promotion
    Solutions
    Options A, B and C are incorrect as the verb "left" is not followed by preposition "from". Also, their use does not give correct meaning in the sentence. The correct answer is option D. The verb "resign" is followed by the preposition "from" and the verb "sideline" goes well with the context of promotion.
