Question
In each of the following sentences, there is a blank
space. Below each such sentence, there are five options with one word each. Fill up the blank with the word that makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. The huge impact of the fire left authorities facing criticism that Britain's ___________infrastructure is ill-prepared to deal with disasters or attacks.Solution
The word "creaking" implies something that is old, weak, or under strain, which fits the context of describing infrastructure that is ill-prepared for disasters. "Asperous" means rough or harsh, but it doesn’t apply to infrastructure in this context. "Resilient" would suggest that the infrastructure is strong and capable of withstanding challenges, which contradicts the intended meaning. "Croaking" usually refers to a frog's sound or something failing, but it's not appropriate here. "Valiant" refers to courage, which doesn’t fit the description of infrastructure, making "creaking" the most suitable choice.
