Question
In each of the questions below, a sentence is given with
two blanks, indicating that some parts are missing. Identify the correct pair of words that fit in the sentence to make it grammatically and contextually correct. ____________ data gaps in estimating business and economic activity won't be easy as most enterprise and corporate databases used in India are ___________ , economists warned.Solution
The second blank requires an adjective to qualify the phrase 'enterprise and corporate databases'. 'Defect' and 'foible' are nouns while 'mar' is a verb; this eliminates options a), c) and d). The phrase 'plugging gaps' means - providing something that is lacking in a particular situation. Hence, option e) must be the right answer as it contains the words that fit well in both the blanks. Foible (noun) - imperfection.
