Question
In the following question, three sentences are given
and in each sentence, a word is highlighted which is incorrect and needs to be replaced. Select the option that has the correct set of words to replace those incorrect words. I. Archaeologists have swathed an ancient Egyptian pet cemetery where cats were buried in fancy beaded necklaces. II. Brighton manager Graham Potter was equally fortunate and wants some clarification on the reasons behind the decision. III. By that time cell phones had become vehement , and people had long ceased to be impressed by the sight of one.Solution
'Swathed' means to wrap in layers and the sentence is suggestive of the excavation of an ancient Egyptian pet cemetery, so it is quite clear that there is no connection between the two. Thus, the correct word to be used is 'unearthed' which means to discover. 'Fortunate' means blesses and the sentence is about Graham Potter wanting clarification regarding a decision, so it is quite clear that there is no connection between the two. Thus, the correct word to be used is 'nonplussed' which means to be confused and that is why he wanted clarity over the matter. 'Vehement' means passionate and the subject of the sentence is the cell phone, so clearly cell phone cannot be described as passionate and it would render the sentence incoherent. Thus, the correct word to be used is 'ubiquitous' which means present everywhere and this fits the sentence very well. Hence, option (b) is correct.
