Each question below has two blanks, which is indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the most suitable option indicating the words that can be used to fill up the blanks in the sentences to make them meaningfully complete. After more than two years of tumult that has not only torn apart Manipur but also created seemingly ______chasms between communities, the state appears to be taking tentative steps toward______. 

The sentence describes the aftermath of the conflict in Manipur and the state's efforts to move forward.

• The first blank describes the kind of divisions or "chasms" that have been created between communities. The phrase "torn apart Manipur" suggests deep, severe divisions. Unbridgeable means impossible to bridge or connect, which perfectly fits the context of communities deeply fractured by conflict.
• The second blank needs a word that describes the destination of the "tentative steps." After a period of conflict and chaos, the natural objective of such steps would be a resolution. Peace is the state of tranquillity or freedom from civil strife, making it the most logical and fitting word to complete the sentence.

Therefore, the combination of unbridgeable chasms and steps toward peace creates a coherent and accurate description of the situation. Repairable : Can be fixed or mended Amiable : Having a friendly and pleasant manner. Soluble : Able to be dissolved, especially in water. Hurdle : An obstacle or difficulty.
