    A render Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B furnish Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C dispel Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D bode Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E capitulate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I: We need a base form verb to fit in the infinitive structure TO + VERB 1. RENDER (to make or cause somebody or something to be in a specified condition) will fit here as the sentence tells us how scientists are working on a new method to make the poison harmless for the environment. II: We need a base form verb to fit in the infinitive structure TO + VERB 1. RENDER (to present or perform something) will fit here as the sentence tells us that the committee was asked to present a report on the current status of the people who were moved away from the disaster prone area. Thus, A is the right answer. Furnish - to supply something to somebody. It will fit in II but not in I. Dispel - to make something, especially a feeling or a belief, disappear. Bode - to be a sign of something good or bad for the future. Capitulate - to accept something or agree to do something unwillingly.
