    Each sentence has one blank. Choose the most

    appropriate word to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. The committee observed that merely increasing budgetary allocations, without strengthening institutional capacity and accountability mechanisms, would be ______ to achieve long-term developmental objectives.
    A inadequate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B insufficient Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C futile Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Ineffective Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E redundant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct answer is ineffective, meaning not producing the desired result. The sentence emphasises that increased funding alone will fail to achieve objectives without structural reforms. Inadequate and insufficient point to quantity, not outcome. Futile implies absolute hopelessness, which is too strong here. Redundant means unnecessary or repetitive, which is incorrect in this context. Therefore, ineffective best captures the causal failure highlighted in the sentence.
