    Question

    In the question below, a sentence is given with four

    words highlighted in bold, followed by options that provide a replacement for each word. From the options, choose the word that must be replaced with its appropriate replacement. If all the highlighted words are correct and none need to be replaced, or if the incorrect word is not provided with an appropriate replacement, choose option (5), i.e. ‘None of the above’. Her eloquent musings on human resilience are elevated to profound wisdom by the sheer brilliance of her poetic craftsmanship and a narrative voice that remains both tender and inceptive when the moment demands.
    A eloquent-eloquence Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B sheer-shiver Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C narrative-narration Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D inceptive-incisive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word "inceptive" means "beginning or introductory," which does not fit the context of the sentence. The correct word should be "incisive," which means "clear, sharp, and direct," making it more appropriate when describing a voice that is both tender and sharply perceptive when needed."Eloquent" (expressing thoughts beautifully and fluently) is correctly used."Sheer" (complete or absolute) is correctly used."Narrative" (relating to storytelling) is correctly used.Thus, the only incorrect word that needs replacement is "inceptive," which should be replaced with "incisive."Her eloquent musings on human resilience are elevated to profound wisdom by the sheer brilliance of her poetic craftsmanship and a narrative voice that remains both tender and incisive when the moment demands.
