    Question

    In the question below, a sentence is given with two

    blanks to be filled in with appropriate words. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four. In the case that none of the options fit in the sentence, choose 'None of the above'. Floodplains are ___________ over millions of years by the flooding of rivers with ____________ of sand on riverbanks.
    A Created, presumption Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Clicked, crack Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Posted, amount Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Formed, deposition Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Attracted, accumulation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Observing the first blank, we can see that 'clicked', 'posted' and 'attracted' cannot fit here in the context of the sentence. 'Created' and 'formed' can convey the required meaning. For the second blank, 'presumption' and 'crack' are not suitable to go with 'sand on riverbanks'. 'Amount' could have worked if there was a suitable adjective preceding the blank. 'Deposition' and 'accumulation' are the suitable choices. So, option d) is the right answer.
