Question

    A sentence with two blanks is given, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the words that best fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

    ____________ could help with many of the region’s

    problems, but too many ____________ still stand in their way.
    A people, problems Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B rich, disadvantage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C men, disadvantage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D entrepreneurs, obstacles Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E women, advantage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, for the second blank, the verb is singular. So, the subject should be plural. Thus, 2, 3 and 5 can be eliminated. Out of 1 and 4, 1 is incorrect because ‘problems’ does not fit the second blank contextually. Hence the correct answer is option 4.
