    Question

    In the following question, two statements are given with a part missing. From the options, choose the word that can fit in the sentences to make it grammatically and contextually correct.

    1. He respected the man who ________ me, even when I

    rejected my natural father. 2. Instead of answering, she _______ her arm and steadied her breath, as if she were holding a handgun.
    A lifted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B hoisted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C raised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D elevated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E reared Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1 talks about how the man brought up the author and how he was respected by him. 2 talks about how she lifted her arm almost as if she were holding a handgun. RAISED can be used to convey both meanings, which makes (c) the right answer. A, B and D are synonyms and will fit only in 2, and E will fit only in 1.
