    Jasbir has the _______ of a movie star.
    Solutions
    Let's understand the meaning of each word so that we know which word will fit best in the sentence:

    Flash = shine in a bright but brief, sudden, or intermittent way.
    Mysticism = belief that union with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or the spiritual apprehension of knowledge inaccessible to the intellect, may be attained through contemplation and self-surrender.

    War photographers use black and white pictures as a _______ because they will shout and scream at you. You won’t _______ the black and white, but you could walk past a colour picture.

    Solutions

    When you walk past something, you leave it behind. In other words, you get over or did not pay attention to the person or thing. Hence, we will substitute the second blank with a word synonymous to ‘walk past’. Out of all the options, only option (A) and (C) provide the suitable words. Now, we are left with two choices, ’weapon’ and ‘speaker’ to fill the first blank. Speaker fails to provide any meaning to the former part as it is associated with war photographers who used pictures as their weapon or tool. Therefore, option (A) is the correct answer.
