Question
The Commission cautions (A) / cautious (B) the police
against needless arrests and magistrates against mechanical remand orders. We are hopeful that 2017 will conclude with a bona fide (A) / bountiful (B) monsoon and harvest. The more transparent the EC is about demonstrating the robustness of its safeguards and its (A) / their (B) determination to improve them further, the greater will be the public’s trust in the electoral process. In each question, there are five sentences. Each has a pair of words that are italicised and highlighted. From the italicised and highlighted words, select the most appropriate words (A or B) to form correct sentences. The sentences are followed by options that indicate the words, which may e selected to correctly complete the set of sentences. From the options given, choose the most appropriate oneSolution

III.A – EC is being talked about and thus will be referred to as ‘it’ instead of ‘they’. ‘Its’ has also been used for ‘safeguards’ so for ‘determination’ also ‘its’ will be used.
