      with one blank each. From the given answer choices, choose the option which contains the word that fits in both sentences making them grammatically and contextually correct. 1. The central bank maintained that inflationary pressure had become sufficiently ______ to warrant a recalibration of monetary policy despite temporary improvements in commodity prices. 2.

      A Superficial Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Pervasive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Immediate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Temporary Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Fragile Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Sentence 1 requires: → an adjective describing inflation that is widespread and persistent. “Pervasive inflationary pressure” means: → deeply spread across sectors. Sentence 2 requires: → an adjective showing broad influence across intellectual traditions. “Pervasive influence” means: → influence existing widely across generations. Thus pervasive fits both contexts. Why others fail: superficial → shallow influence only immediate → timing-related temporary → opposite meaning fragile → unsuitable for both Hence, option (2).
