Question
Find out the most effective word from the given options
to fill in the blanks of the following question. 1. Although the ______ basis for the final stage is found in the legislation of the time of Moses (latter part of the second millennium B.C. it is in reality scarcely earlier than the 5th century B.C., and the Jewish theory finds analogies when developments of the Levitical service are referred to David. 2. Whatever ______ action the Dawkins are involved in would certainly be tainted if Fred knew how Joseph acted up there.Solution
Sentence 1suggests: · The foundational basis for religious/legal traditions. · Something historically rooted in law and tradition (the legislation of Moses). · So, the blank should describe the type of basis being referenced — something formal or authoritative, not casual or odd. · Best fitting word: legal, because the sentence talks about the legislation of Moses , and “legal basis” makes perfect sense in that context. Sentence 2 suggests: · The action being referred to has a formal or serious implication. · It's not just any action, but one that could be tainted — possibly something official, professional, or requiring integrity. · Best fitting word: legal because the phrase “tainted” implies misconduct or unethical behavior in an action that is supposed to be above board — i.e., a legal action . The contrast is clearer when we imagine that Joseph’s behavior could corrupt the integrity of a legal proceeding or formal deal.
