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.
