Question
Choose the most appropriate word from the options that
can fill the blanks. Despite multiple intelligence briefings and early satellite data suggesting a severe food shortage in the region, the international coalition failed to ______ essential relief assets with the required urgency — a lapse that was universally condemned as a glaring ______ of strategic planning and diplomatic coherence.Solution
“Deploy” is the most contextually accurate verb in formal humanitarian and logistical contexts. It suggests not just sending, but strategically mobilizing resources — ideal for “essential relief assets.” “Indictment” refers to a strong, often public, accusation of failure or misconduct. Here, it fits the second clause which talks about universal condemnation of the failure. (a) circulate … assertion Circulate is far too weak — it’s used for information or papers, not relief deployment. Assertion is a statement, not a judgment or consequence of failure. (b) dispatch … marvel While dispatch could just about work, marvel (something wonderful) is completely tone-deaf in a sentence about failure and condemnation. (c) transport … validation Transport is too mechanical for strategic emergency response; lacks urgency or planning nuance. Validation implies approval, which contradicts “condemned” and “failure.” (e) release … exposition Release is too generic; we’re not talking about information or a statement. Exposition means explanation, not criticism.
