    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. The number of persons in metros who took a holiday trip __________ is relatively higher compared to other regions, with a quarter of households __________ a holiday trip during the past year.
    A have, reported Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B was, reporting Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C are, taking Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D had, taken Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E has, going Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence starts in the past tense, so a simple past verb 'was' will fit in the first blank. 'Number of...' takes a singular verb after it. In the second, the participle 'reporting' will fit. Hence the answer is (b).
