Question
The country advertises of the highest number
of higher education institutions in the world - an amazing 33,723, according to an EY analysis - and the second biggest number of responses in higher education at almost 27 million (to China's 33 million). Which of the words in (a), (b), (c) or (d) given below should replace the words given in bold in the following sentences to make it meaningful and grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is, and 'No correction is required', mark (e) as the answer.Solution
The sentence talks about a country's educational infrastructure, which is quite impressive. So, the first word can be replaced by 'boasts' and 'brags'; this eliminates options b), c) and e). With 'amazing' being correct in second place, the words 'astounding' and 'startling' can fit too, as they depict the remarkable number of institutions. Though the third word 'biggest' seems correct, it cannot be the answer as we've already eliminated option e); now, 'much' in option d) seems to provide no meaning to the sentence; this eliminates option d) too. Clearly, the answer is option a).
