Question

    In each of the following sentences, there is a blank space, followed by some choices of words given in options. You have to determine which of these words fits well in all, or the maximum number of sentences. If none of these words fits well, mark your answer as none of these.

    (i) The Chief Minister is the leader of the party that

    commands a __________ in the House. (ii) As neither party has won the __________, a coalition government is the only alternative. (iii) A __________ of the employees are in favour of this move.
    A respect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B support Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C majority Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D consensus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution: Here, ‘majority’ should be the correct word to be used. The word ‘support’ and ‘respect’ do not fit the third sentence. The word ‘consensus’ means ‘a generally accepted opinion or decision among a group of people’. It does not fit the first sentence.
