Question

    Given below is a sentence with one blank. Below the

    sentence are given four words among which one word might fill the blank. If none of the words fill the blank to form a meaningful sentence, choose option 5 ‘None of the above’ as your answer. The scientist's groundbreaking theory provided a new ___________ for understanding the complex behavior of subatomic particles.
    A Illusion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Paradigm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Mirage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Prophecy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Paradigm refers to a typical example or pattern of something; in scientific contexts, it often means a framework or model used to understand certain phenomena. Since the sentence talks about a new way to understand subatomic particle behavior, paradigm is the most appropriate choice. The other words (illusion, mirage, prophecy) do not fit the scientific or conceptual context.
