    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. Despite the economic downturn, the company managed to maintain a __________ growth rate over the past year.
    A stagnant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B declining Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C erratic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D steady Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Steady" means consistent or stable, which fits the idea of maintaining growth. "Stagnant," "declining," and "erratic" indicate negative or inconsistent growth, which contradicts the sentence.
