Gabriela Moura is the name of a student from a place Paraisopolis,
which is a favela in the city of Sao Paulo, while
Robertao Inglese is a lawyer from the prosperous neighbourhood
of Morumbi.
[noun]: a Brazilian shack or shanty town; a slum.
where Gabriela Moura and Robertao Inglese live are completely different, rather
opposite, from the financial point of view. The second sentence uses the
conjunction ‘but’ and informs that the two Paulistanos, though lives in a
completely opposite town from financial point of view, were united in their
choice for Brazil’s president.
phrase/clause filling the blank must illustrates or complement or
introduces this contrast.
given options, only option (d) appropriately illustrates this divide.
steep hill and a concrete wall divide the worlds of the two mentioned personalities,
still they were united in their choice for Brazil’s president.
(a), (b), (c) and (e) are out-of-context and irrelevant.
correct answer is the option (d).
(c)
most appropriate phrase/sentence to complete the paragraph is “There is dissonance between RBI’s outlook
and recent events in financial markets” as the paragraph is describing
about the policies of Reserve bank of India and how there is disharmony between
its policies and the happenings of the financial market. All the other
sentences do not fit in the context of the paragraph. Hence, the option (c) is
the most suitable answer choice.
(d)
most appropriate phrase to complete the paragraph is “The Modi solution was to increase India’s visibility internationally” as
the paragraph is describing about the issues of India with China. It has
further mentioned the steps initiated by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi
regarding this issue. Drawing a hint from the latter part of the paragraph that
has described several initiatives taken by Modi, the given blank can be filled
in the similar context. Likewise option (d) suggests Modi’s solution in
reference to China’s issue. All the other phrases are either grammatically
incorrect or contextually meaningless. Thus, option (d) becomes the most viable
answer choice.
(b)
context of the paragraph suggests that the speech wasn’t finished prior to her
announcement of her intention to vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme
Court. So, the option (a) is incorrect.
(c), (d) and (e) are out of context and irrelevant. The option (b) is correct.
The hint for the same can be derived from the phrase ‘waited until the final
words…’. The phrase implies the dramatic aspect of the situation.
option (b) is the correct answer.
(d)
the given options, only option (d) gels well both contextually and
grammatically with the preceding and the later part of the blank. The other
options, i.e., the options (a), (b), (c) and (e) are irrelevant and
out-of-context.
correct answer is the option (d).
