In the case that all three words fit in the sentence but are given in incorrect sequence choose option (D). In the case that all three words fit in the sentence in the same sequence as given, i.e., (A), (B), (C), choose option (E). Ravi's teacher was annoyed with his _____(A)_______ attitude and warned him that his lack of ______(B)_____ will be detrimental to him in the ___ (C)_______. A. Lackadaisical B. Responsibility C. Now

    C Only A and B are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Sequence should be altered Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are in correct sequence Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In A, we need an adjective to qualify the noun ATTITUDE. The sentence speaks about how the teachers were unhappy about Ravi's lazy attitude. In B, we need a noun to complement the phrase LACK OF, which is always followed by a noun. The sentence talks about how Ravi is lacking in responsibility. In C, we need a word that completes the adverb phrase starting with IN THE, conveying a certain time frame. The sentence talks about how Ravi will face the implications of his laziness at a future time. NOW is incorrect because it exists alone as an adverb of time and cannot be a part of an adverb phrase. Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
