    Question

    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. An unusually combative press conference addressed by chief election commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on Sunday ________the trust deficit between the poll watchdog and the Opposition that can cast a _______on the poll process. 
    A Visible, Layer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Surfaced, Guard Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Underlined, Shadow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Blocked, Hallucination Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Dormant, Composite Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • The first blank needs a word that shows how the press conference affected the trust deficit. Underlined means to draw special attention to something or to emphasize it.
    • Shadow in this context means a trace, influence, or effect, especially a negative one. A trust deficit casting a "shadow" on the process means it makes the process seem less credible or fair.
    Therefore, the CEC's press conference underlined the trust deficit, which in turn cast a shadow on the poll process. Dormant means inactive or in a state of rest but with the potential to become active.   Composite refers to something made up of different parts. Hallucination in a general sense refers to the perception of something that is not actually present.
