Question
The following question has two blanks, each blank
indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for each blank that best fits in the context of the sentence. The committee’s report seeks to __________ institutional transparency while __________ mechanisms to curb misuse of power.Solution
Enhance transparency means improve openness. Strengthening mechanisms means making systems stronger to prevent misuse. Both parts clearly support the same goal. weaken, introduce Weakening transparency goes against the idea of controlling misuse. expose, dilute Expose transparency is illogical, and dilute mechanisms weakens control. Promote, restricting Restricting mechanisms reduces effectiveness. Increase, controlled Controlled is the wrong word form here.
