Question

    In the following sentence, there is a blank space. Below

    each such sentence, there are five options with one word each. Fill up the blank with the word that makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. As the debate grew more heated, both sides continued to __________ their arguments passionately.
    A dissolve Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B defend Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C deceit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D docile Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E disrupt Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence indicates a heated debate where both sides would passionately support their arguments. The word "defend" correctly fits the context, meaning to protect or uphold one's arguments.
    Dissolve means to melt away or disband, which doesn’t fit here.
    Deceit refers to dishonesty, not appropriate in this context.
    Docile means submissive or easily controlled, irrelevant to arguments.
    Disrupt means to interrupt or cause disorder, which doesn’t fit logically.
    Therefore, "defend" is the most suitable option.
