    In the question given below, two sentences are given

    with one blank each. From the given answer choices, choose the option which contains the word that fits in both sentences making them grammatically and contextually correct. 1. It was a ________ concept for the colonial era: pine piping under every street, with pumps placed every 100 yards. 2.

    A book Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B new Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C novel Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D innovative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E narrative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    First sentence - we need an adjective here to modify the noun CONCEPT. NOVEL (new) will fit here as the sentence tells us how the concept was not known before. Second sentence - we need a noun here to be modified by the adjective THE. NOVEL (a written account or story) will fit here, as the sentence tells us that the ambiguity of the book was also shown in the movie adaptation. Thus, (c) is the right answer. A and E will fit only in 2, while B and D will fit only in 1.
