Question
In each of the questions below four words are
highlighted in the sentences. One of these four words printed in bold may be either wrongly spelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Find out the word which is wrongly spelt or inappropriate, if any. If all the words printed in bold are correctly spelt and also appropriate in the context of the sentence, mark option ‘All are correct’ as your answer. After prolonged discussions involving multiple stakeholders, the committee finally reached a concensus , acknowledging the necessity of regulatory reforms to ensure long-term stability in the financial system.Solution
The error in this sentence lies in the word “concensus.” This spelling is incorrect. The correct spelling is “consensus,” which means general agreement among a group of people. The incorrect form “concensus” is a common spelling trap but has no meaning in standard English. All other highlighted words in the sentence are correctly spelt and contextually appropriate. “Necessity” means something that is essential or required, “prolonged” means continuing for a long time, and “stability” refers to the state of being steady or not subject to sudden change. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
