Question

    In the question below, two sentences are given and each

    of them consists of two words highlighted in bold. The words may be incorrectly placed and need to be interchanged in order to make both the sentences contextually correct. From the options, choose the option that represents the correct combination of the words that need to be interchanged. I. The speaker spoke so (1) rapidly that his words were (2) inconclusive to most in the audience. II. The blood test was (3) incoherent for any diseases, so they (4) wanted to redraw blood.
    A 1 - 3, 2 - 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 - 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1 - 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2 - 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No interchange required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (b) is the right answer. We need to interchange INCOHERENT with INCONCLUSIVE. The first sentence talks about the speed at which the speaker talked. It made it difficult for the people in the audience to understand. The second sentence talks about how the results of the blood test could not indicate anything about the diseases. If something is INCONCLUSIVE, it has not proved anything. If someone is INCOHERENT, they are talking in a confused and unclear way.
