Fill in the Blanks Test-5

Garbage: rubbish or waste, especially domestic refuse
Loiter: stand or wait around without apparent purpose
Litter: make (a place or area) untidy with rubbish or a large number of objects left lying about
The blank demands a verb. “Garbage ”is a noun. Hence, it gets eliminated.
“Loiter ”makes no sense in the given context. So, it also gets eliminated.
Only ‘litter ’makes perfect sense in the blank both grammatically and contextually. It is also a verb.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Domesticated: (of an animal) tame and kept as a pet or on a farm
Herbivorous: (of an animal) feeding on plants
“Domesticated ”and “herbivorous ”animals would not attack people. Even if they attack for some
reason, they would not consider humans their ‘prey ’.
Hence, these two words get eliminated.
Only the word “wild ”fits perfectly in the blank. “Wild ”animals would consider humans as ‘prey ’and
attack them too.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Meteoric: (of the development of something) very rapid

Stagnating: ceasing to develop; becoming inactive or dull.

Monetary: relating to money or currency Meteoric fits perfectly in the blank.

“Stagnation ”and “rise ”are two opposite words. “Stagnating ”does not fit in the blank at all.

It is not very clear how development in cellular internet connectivity can lead to economic/ financial growth. Further, the word ‘monetary ’does not sound very appropriate in the blank. Hence, it gets
eliminated.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

“Fellow-feeling ”means ‘sympathy and fellowship existing between people based on shared experiences or feelings ’.
“Fellow-feeling ”and the blank is connected by the connector ‘and ’. Hence the blank will take a word similar to the word ‘fellow-feeling ’. Fraternity: friendship and mutual support within a group “Fraternity ”, “friendship ”and “brotherhood ”are very similar to fellow-feeling.

All the three words fit perfectly in the blank.

Hence, option E is the correct answer.

‘Drivel ’means: nonsense talk/ nonsense

‘Prattle ’means: talk at length in a foolish or inconsequential way

These two words perfectly fit in the blank both grammatically and contextually.

But ‘warnings ’does not fit in the blank. “Paranoid ”is a negative word. “Warnings ”don ’t go well with
‘paranoid ’scientists. Logical scientists give ‘warnings ’. But the talks of ‘paranoid ’scientists can be
considered ‘drivel ’or ‘prattle ’.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
