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. Hooping is an __________ low-impact workout and a great way to get into both a cardio routine and tone up ___________ parts of the body.
    A affect, all Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B succeed, other Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C incumbency, potential Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D effective, different Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E forthwith, various Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The first blank requires an adjective for the noun 'workout'. Of the words suggested in the given options, only option d) contains an adjective. Options a) and b) are verbs; option c) contains a noun; option e) contains an adverb. The adjective 'different' fits well in the second blank and qualifies the noun 'parts'. Hence, the answer is option d). Incumbency - the holding of an office or the period during which one is held; forthwith - immediately.
