    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'. Part of the reason that we are now _________ to older ways of cooking and eating can be __________ to the cool quotient that is attached to buying hyper-local and cooking ultra-regional.
    A Reverting, attributed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Opposing, subsumed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Grabbing, judging Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Turning, developed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Neither 'opposing' nor 'grabbing' will take 'to' after it, negating both options B & C. 'Developed' also does not make a lot of sense in the 2nd blank and should be replaced by 'attributed' which means regard something as being caused by. Hence, option a) will be the right answer. 'Subsumed' = include or absorb (something) in something else.
