      Question

      Each of the following sentences has two blanks. Select

      the most appropriate pair of words from the options given to fill in the blanks so that the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. The committee’s report, though exhaustive in its data collection, failed to provide a ______ framework for action, leaving policymakers with conclusions that were insightful yet ultimately ______ in guiding practical decisions.
      A coherent, inadequate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B detailed, sufficient Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C rigid, effective Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D comprehensive, decisive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E simplistic, irrelevant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The sentence indicates that although the report had extensive data, it failed in terms of usability. The first blank must describe the absence of clarity or structured direction, making “coherent” the appropriate word. The second blank refers to the usefulness of conclusions in real decision-making. Since policymakers could not use them effectively, the correct word is “inadequate.” Other options fail because: “detailed” and “comprehensive” contradict the problem “effective” and “decisive” contradict failure “simplistic” does not match “exhaustive” Thus, the sentence highlights a common issue: data-rich but action-poor reports.
