Question
Each of the following sentences has a blank. Choose the
most appropriate word as your answer to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. The report, despite its analytical depth and extensive data, failed to ______ the persistent structural inefficiencies that continued to undermine long-term institutional performance.Solution
The sentence implies that inefficiencies continued to exist, meaning the report did not fix or resolve them. Rectify means to correct or set right, which fits the context. Articulate means to express clearly, which does not imply solving the problem. Expose means to reveal, but the issue here is not about revealing, rather about resolving. Reinforce means to strengthen, which contradicts the intended meaning.
