Question

    In the question given below, two sentences are given

    with one blank each. From the given options, choose the word that correctly fits both sentences. I. The animal appeared healthy and ___________no visible wounds or signs of illness. II. Yet she ___________her pain stoically, neither asking nor expecting him to help her through it.
    A Bore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Show Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Bearing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Involved Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All can fit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Bear - Have or display as a visible mark or feature. Bear - Endure (an ordeal or difficulty). 'Bore', as the past tense form of 'bear', can fit in the first sentence to mean 'displayed' and in the second sentence to mean 'endured'. 'Show' does not fit grammatically, as the first sentence is in past tense. 'Involved' does not fit in the context of either sentence. 'Bearing' fits in the first sentence but does not fit grammatically in the second sentence. A is the right answer.
