Question
Directions : In the question below, two sentences with
one word in each highlighted in bold. From the options, choose the one that can replace the highlighted words in BOTH these sentences to make grammatical and contextual sense. I. Scientists are working on a new method to make the poison harmless before it can affect the environment. II. The committee was asked to present a report on the current status of the people evacuated from the disaster prone area.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.
