    Question

    In each of the questions below, a sentence is given with

    two blanks, indicating that some parts are missing. Identify the correct pair of words that fit in the sentence to make it grammatically and contextually correct. The consignments were ______________ to Chennai and Mumbai via private transporters and then exported to countries in South Asia where there is a huge ______________ for red sanders.
    A exigent, entail Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B send, clamour Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C couriered, demand Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D spout, need Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E wired, enquiry Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Usage of 'were' before the first blank, necessitates the usage of the past form of a verb in the first blank. 'Exigent' is an adjective, 'send' and 'spout' are the root forms; 'wired' does not fit contextually. This eliminates all but option c). 'Demand' fits well in the second blank. Hence, option c) is the right answer. Exigent (adj.) - demanding; entail (verb) - necessitate; clamour (noun) - loud noise; spout (verb)- Send out (liquid) forcibly in a stream.
