    words highlighted in bold, followed by options that provide a replacement for each word. From the options, choose the word that must be replaced with its appropriate replacement. If all the highlighted words are correct and none need to be replaced, or if the incorrect word is not provided with an appropriate replacement, choose option (e), i.e. ‘None of the above’. The scientists believed that the unanticipated celestial event might drastically alter the trajectory of space exploration, shifting paradigmatic and fostering unprecedented discoveries in the field.
    A unanticipated-unruffled Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B trajectory-traitorous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C paradigmatic-paradigms Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D unprecedented-aliquot Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence discusses how an unanticipated (unexpected) celestial event might alter the trajectory (path) of space exploration, fostering unprecedented (never-before-seen) discoveries. However, the phrase "shifting paradigmatic" is incorrect. Paradigmatic refers to something that serves as a typical example, which does not fit the sentence. It should be replaced with paradigms, meaning frameworks or models, making the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Therefore, (c) Paradigmatic – Paradigms is the correct answer.
