    are provided with five options. Both blanks must be filled with only one word or one option. Identify the correct word or option that will make both the sentences complete grammatically and contextually. I.

    A Dormant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Inadmissible Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Impaired Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Fractured Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Moribund Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    'Dormant' means inactive, which is not suitable for sentence II. 'Inadmissible' means unacceptable or prohibited which is not suitable to use here. 'Moribund' means stagnant (in terminal decline) and 'impaired' means weakened or damaged, both do not fit into sentence II. 'Fractured' means faltering or split, which fits into both sentences; hence option 4 is the correct choice.
