Question
In the following question, a sentence with 2 blanks is
given followed by 5 options. From the given options, choose the pair of words that can fit in both the blanks respectively and make the sentence complete and meaningful both contextually and grammatically . For all the criticism it has received in its 16 years, the IPL has _______________cricket in many countries, either directly by buying franchises there or by ____________similar leagues, as in Australia.Solution
The sentence discusses how the IPL has impacted cricket globally.First Blank: The IPL has contributed to the growth and expansion of cricket in many countries. The correct verb should reflect a positive influence."Revived" (brought back to life or strengthened) fits well."Undermine," "diminished," and "deteriorated" all have negative connotations, which contradict the intended meaning."Resuscitating" is grammatically incorrect because "has" (already present in the sentence) requires the past participle "resuscitated" instead.Second Blank: The IPL has influenced the formation of similar leagues in other countries. "Inspiring" (motivating or encouraging) is the best fit."Dissuading," "deterring," and "suppressing" all mean discouraging or preventing, which contradicts the context.Thus, option 1 (revived, inspiring) is the correct answer.
