Question

    Fill in the blanks: The new policy may _______

    unintended consequences due to its _______ implementation.
    A attain, lax Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B access, rigid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C procure, hasty Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D yield, flawed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Yield" means to produce or result in something, which fits well in the context of unintended consequences."Flawed" means having defects or weaknesses, which aligns with improper implementation.Attain, lax – "Attain" refers to achieving something, which does not fit unintended consequences.Access, rigid – "Access" does not fit, as consequences are not "accessed."Procure, hasty – "Procure" means to obtain something deliberately, which is incorrect for consequences.Thus, the best choice is:(4) yield, flawed.
