Question
In the question below, a statement has three words
highlighted in bold, which may or may not be correctly used. You are required to choose from the options, the one that provides the correct combination of the 3 words which fit in the blanks grammatically and contextually. If the original set is correct, please select option E as your answer. Facing upbeat emotions such as betrayal, hurt, anger, and disappointment is a generic experience that tests our emotional power and inner strength.Solution
Solution The intended idea in the sentence is to highlight common negative emotions that challenge our emotional aspect. The original words in bold are incorrect because 'upbeat' contradicts the negative emotions mentioned. Option B: 'Adverse' (unfavourable) fits, but 'societal' (relating to society) is contextually weak and 'trauma' (severe distress) is too extreme for the context of common emotional challenges. Option C: Although, ‘personal’ and ‘stamina’ fit the context, 'brutality' (extreme violence) is inappropriate grammatically as we need adjective to qualify nun ‘emotions’. Option D: 'Gloomy' (sad) somewhat fits but 'reliable' (dependable) is unsuitable, and 'endure' (to last) is a verb, not a noun. Option A: 'Negative' (unpleasant) accurately describes the emotions, 'universal' (experienced by everyone) conveys the generality of the experience, and 'resilience' (emotional strength) is the right term for inner strength. Hence, option A is correct.
