If you are the one who is planning to lose weight, remember to keep your snacking________.
A sentence has been given with a blank to be filled with an appropriate word. Choose the correct alternative
(A) outgoing
(B) prejudiced
(C) uncontrolled
(D) moderate
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :
The correct alternative to fill in the blank in the sentence "If you are the one who is planning to lose weight, remember to keep your snacking________" is:
Moderate
Solution:
"Outgoing" does not fit the context as it refers to being sociable or extroverted, which doesn't relate to snacking habits.
"Prejudiced" means having preconceived opinions that are not based on reason or experience. It's irrelevant to the context of snacking.
"Uncontrolled" implies lacking restraint or regulation, which is the opposite of what the sentence is advising.
"Moderate" is the appropriate word choice as it suggests keeping snacking within reasonable limits, which is often advised for those trying to lose weight. It implies controlling the amount and frequency of snacking to support weight loss efforts.
The contingent managed to _______ successfully.
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
(A) park the deal
(B) close the deal
(C) heal the deal
(D) catch the deal
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is:
close the deal
The sentence would then read: "The contingent managed to close the deal successfully."
Explanation:
"Park the deal" doesn't make sense in this context. "Park" usually refers to temporarily setting something aside or storing it.
"Heal the deal" is not a commonly used phrase. While "heal" can metaphorically refer to repairing or restoring something, it's not typically used in the context of deals.
"Catch the deal" doesn't fit the context either. "Catch" implies capturing something, but it's not idiomatic when referring to completing or finalizing a deal.
"Close the deal" is the correct idiomatic phrase used to indicate completing a negotiation or agreement. It fits well in the context of business deals or agreements being finalized.

Explanation:

"Get progress" is grammatically incorrect.
"Catch progress" also doesn't fit logically in the sentence.

Correct Answer : D
Explanation :
In this context, the speaker is trying to convince their mother to give consent for the excursion to the Himalayas. "Left no stones unturned" means to make every possible effort or to try everything available to achieve a goal, which aligns with the speaker's attempt to persuade their mother. The other options don't quite fit the context as well.

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
(A) palpable
(B) visible
(C) physical
(D) intangible

Explanation :
Palpable means able to be touched or felt, but it doesn't directly relate to abuse.
Visible means able to be seen, which might not always be the case with abuse.
Intangible means unable to be touched or grasped, which is the opposite of what abuse typically entails.
"Physical" abuse is the correct choice as it directly describes the type of abuse experienced. It refers to any form of abuse that involves physical harm or injury inflicted upon a person.

(C) winning
(D) wonderful
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is:
warm
Explanation: The sentence describes the welcome given by the anchor, which includes a pleasant smile and a bouquet upon reaching the hotel. "Warm" is the most suitable adjective to describe such a welcoming gesture. The other options don't fit the context as well:
"Worth" doesn't make sense in the context of describing a welcome.
"Winning" might suggest success or victory but doesn't fit the description of a welcome.
"Wonderful" is close in meaning to "warm," but "warm" specifically captures the idea of a friendly and inviting reception.
