      tighter gun control measures as he stepped into the familiar role of grief counsellor for a ____________ nation after yet another massive shooting. In each of the following sentences, there is a blank space. Below each such sentence, there are four options with one word each. Fill up the blank with the word that makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
      A dramatic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B traumatised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C tragedy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D propitious Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E ambitious Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The word ‘traumatised’ is correct here, with respect to the context. It means ‘severely shocked and upset in a way that causes lasting emotional pain’. A and D are inappropriate. D means ‘likely to result in success, or showing signs of success’, which is inappropriate here. C and E do not fit grammatically. The US President called for a ban on assault weapons and tighter gun control measures as he stepped into the familiar role of grief counsellor for a traumatised nation after yet another massive shooting.
