    Question

    Three sentences are given, with one word highlighted

    in bold in each sentence. These words are to be replaced by one single word. Choose the word from the five options provided, which is grammatically and contextually correct. I. Movies in the romantic genre are often cheesy and fake . II. He felt the mother's demeanour suggested she was preparing a/an bogus story. III. This alone shows no trust on the totally fraudulent nature of his justification.
    A Spurious Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Dilemma Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Authentic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Scrap Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Mien Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    An adjective should be used in place of the given adjectives, the usage of 'no trust' in III shows that 'authentic' [adjective] cannot be used here. So, it is clear using the above meanings that 'spurious' is the right choice. No other word can replace all three highlighted words. Hence, option (a) is correct.
