Question

    In the following sentences, there are two blanks. Find out the appropriate words for filling up the blanks:

    The Space Force ______________two successful

    verification flights before allowing the Vulcan rocket ____________national security payloads.
    A mandates, to carry Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B amend, for carrying Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C mandated, carrying Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D mandated, carries Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence is discussing an ongoing process or policy, so the present tense "mandates" is the correct choice for the first blank. The second blank should use the infinitive form "to carry," as it follows a verb that expresses permission or authorization ("allowing"). Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
