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 three 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 be selected to correctly complete the set of sentences. From the options given, choose the most appropriate one.Solution
I - A – Caution is warning whereas cautious is state of being warned. II - B –  Bona fide means authentic or real whereas bountiful means abundant. 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. The Commission cautions the police against needless arrests and magistrates against mechanical remand orders. We are hopeful that 2017 will conclude with a bountiful monsoon and harvest. The more transparent the EC is about demonstrating the robustness of its safeguards and its determination to improve them further, the greater will be the public’s trust in the electoral process.
