Question
In the following question, a sentence is given having
two blanks in it followed by 5 options. Each option contains a pair of words. Choose the option which contains the correct pair of words that can be filled in both the blanks respectively to make the sentence contextually and grammatically correct The company’s ambitious expansion plans were temporarily __________ due to financial constraints, but a new wave of investments helped __________ operations.Solution
"Halted" means temporarily stopped, which fits because financial constraints paused the expansion plans."Revive" means to restore or restart, which aligns with the idea that new investments helped operations resume. "Accelerated, disrupt" – If plans were "accelerated," they wouldn’t be stopped due to financial issues. "Disrupt" contradicts the idea of restarting operations."Implemented, cease" – "Implemented" means carried out, which contradicts the idea of plans being stopped."Jeopardized, abandon" – "Jeopardized" means put at risk, but the sentence suggests a temporary halt, not a total risk. "Abandon" implies giving up completely, which is incorrect since operations resumed."Delayed, deteriorate" – "Deteriorate" means worsen, but the sentence suggests that operations improved after new investments.Thus, "halted, revive" is the best choice.
