Question

    In the following questions, a sentence is given with two blanks. Identify the correct pair of words that fit in the sentence to make it grammatically and contextually correct.

    While the draft UGC rules offer a _____________vision,

    their success will depend on addressing existing systemic challenges and ensuring that there are ____________resources in place.
    A ambitious, robusted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B visionary, substantial Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C formidable, ample Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D promising, adequate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For the 1st blank: "Promising" is the most suitable option. It conveys a hopeful or positive outlook, which fits well with the context of the draft UGC rules. "Ambitious" and "formidable" imply a more challenging or intense vision, which does not align as well with the idea of offering a vision that can be realistically achieved. "Visionary" could also fit, but "promising" fits the tone of optimism more directly. For the 2nd blank: "Adequate" is the best choice. It suggests that there will be sufficient resources to implement the vision. "Robusted" is not a valid word, and "substantial" and "ample" could work, but they imply an excessive amount, which doesn't directly fit the idea of ensuring just the right amount of resources.
