There were few expectations of major breakthroughs at the meeting, which allowed the leaders to review ______made after the two sides agreed last October to withdraw forces from several friction points on the ________ border in Ladakh.
    A Retrogression, Concord Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Progress, Disputed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Decline, Agreement Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Regression, Smooth Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Standstill, Settled Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • Progress is the most fitting word, as it refers to a forward movement toward a goal or a better state, which is what the withdrawal of forces represents.
    • Disputed accurately describes a border that is a subject of disagreement or contention between the two sides.
    Therefore, reviewing the progress on the disputed border logically completes the sentence. Regression is a statistical term for a return towards a mean, whereas retrogression is a broader term for a general movement backward to a less developed or worse state. Concord means agreement or harmony, while standstill means a situation where there is no movement or progress.
