In each of the following sentences, there is a blank space. Below each such sentence, there are five options with one word each.

    A signal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B indicates Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C refers Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D show Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, the subject is ‘ladanum’. So, a singular verb should b e used. B and C are singular verbs, but ‘refers’ is inappropriate here. However, ‘refers to’ must have been correct. The word ‘indicate’ means ‘to show, point, or make clear in another way’. 35 is described under a Hebrew word, and refers to ladanum, a fragrant resin produced in Cyprus, and the use of this drug, as well as that of cinnamon and cassia, indicates even at that early period, a knowledge of the products of Somaliland, Arabia and the East Indies.
