Question

    In the following question, an incomplete statement

    followed by fillers is given. Pick out the best filler to complete the incomplete statement, correctly and meaningfully. Due to the rising fuel prices, the government has decided to __________.
    A reduce taxes on petroleum products Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B increase public transport fares Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C offer subsidies to fuel companies Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D promote the use of electric vehicles Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: The sentence suggests that the government is responding to rising fuel prices. The best response would be to promote alternative energy solutions, such as electric vehicles, to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Option (1) contradicts the idea, as reducing taxes would make fuel more affordable rather than addressing price hikes. Option (2) is a direct financial reaction but does not align with a long-term solution. Option (3) is possible but does not necessarily address the root problem of rising prices. Thus, (4) promote the use of electric vehicles is the most appropriate choice.
