Sentence Completion (Level-1): Test-6

The defiance of the girl indicates that she didn’t do what other women of her time were doing-i.e. ‘complying to the norms’. And the word for this ‘abiding to’ the norms is ‘conforming’. So, option C is the right answer. The meanings of the other words are: Fudging with-‘tampering with something’ Discerning-‘able to make or detect effects of great subtlety; sensitive’. Option A is not right as there is no indication of the women ‘regulating’ the norms, while one cannot ‘go through’ norms.

The giving of ‘thumbs down’ to the stringent laws clearly tells that the vice chancellor wants to loosen the stringent immigration laws, hence he wants to ‘liberalise’ the immigration regime. Democratize is not the apt word here, as it is used in reference to national level policies or reforms. Simply denouncing, i.e. expressing a low opinion of something won’t change the scenario. To strengthen would be the opposite of the required action, while constructing is totally invalid as the regime is already in place.

The incident depicted in the sentence tells us that the man was a fraud who pretended to be interested in buying a car, but actually had the intentions of taking it away. Hence, he had apparent intentions (meaning appearing as such but not necessarily so) to buy the car.

As there is the word basic before the blank, the answer is prerequisites- something required as a necessity. Any other word doesn’t hold sense if used in the sentence.

The person has stayed up all night, hence the word in the blank should describe the condition of the person, which must be extremely tired, so the word we chose is weary which means deficient in alertness or activity.

Disputatious means inclined to dispute or disagreeing.
