      Question

      The action taken against the spokespersons who

      insulted the Prophet may have __________ tempers in the short term, but social media warriors will not let it pass. Directions (Q106- Q110): In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank to be filled in with appropriate words. Five alternatives are suggested for the question. Choose the correct alternative, such that both the words fit contextually and grammatically in the given statement.
      A protested, derailed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B escalated, tempted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C obstructed, constructed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D calmed, pacified Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E muttered, shuttered Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      From the sentence, we can identify that even though the action against those people has soothed the temper, the social media will actively take upon the case. Hence, calmed/pacified is the correct word here. The action taken against the spokespersons who insulted the Prophet may have calmed/pacified tempers in the short term, but social media warriors will not let it pass.
