    The light hearted talks were comic and __________, but his broadcasting over enemy radio prompted anger and ___________ controversy in Britain, posing a direct threat of prosecution for Sir Wodehouse.
    Solutions
    A "Talk" cannot be arsonist in itself, however much it may incite arson. It doesn't go with the tenor set by "light hearted" and "comic". Although Option B is enticing, the word "lyrical" is barely used for "talks" and especially not the type that are made over the radio waves. talks cannot be disinterested and altruistic in the action either.
    Culpable does not fit into the blank at all, although resonant and loud might. "strident" means something that is harsh and loud. Hence, combining the two, Option D is correct, as talks can most definitely be apolitical.

    Poetry is the language of the imagination and the ______. It relates to whatever gives ______ pleasure or pain to the human mind.
    Solutions
    Sporadic means occurring at irregular intervals or only in a few places; scattered or isolated.
    Vicarious means experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person.
    Imagination is a noun and means the ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful and as the blank is preceded by the conjunction 'and', the filler should also be an abstract noun. This eliminates options B and E. 
    Option A is eliminated because 'thinkers' are persons and therefore a common noun, while we need an abstract noun.
    Option D is eliminated as it provides incorrect meaning to the statement.
    Thus, option C is the correct response.

    From getting the SAARC leaders to attend his ___________ in on May 26, 2014, to his surprise Lahore visit on December 25, 2015, to meet Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif, Modi has been able to overcome all negative _______________.
    Solutions
    The first blank is preceded by 'attend his'. 'Attend' means be present at (an event, meeting, or function). Swearing in is a ceremony at which a person is admitted to office by taking a formal oath. This is the most logical filler for the first blank. Now, for the second blank, 'perceptions' which means insight or knowledge gained by thinking,is most appropriate. 'View' meaning 'a particular way of considering or regarding something; an attitude or opinion' can also be considered, but going by the first blank, the correct option is E.

    Solutions
    The sentence talks about Google starting something new, which in the context of the statement will most correctly be explained by the word 'launched'. We use 'launch' for something new rather than using 'start'.
    The word 'Enabling' means to make someone able.
