Question
In the question below, three sentences are given, each
of which has two words highlighted in bold. One of the words in each sentence is inappropriate in the context of the sentence. From the options, choose the one that provides the correct combination of inappropriately used words in each sentence. 1. Climate change poses an (A) unprecedented threat to humanity, one that appears increasingly likely to reduce global standards of living dramatically (B) without our lifetime. 2. Addressing such a (A) daunting planetary challenge requires (B) periodical approaches. 3. There have been wide-ranging (A) distractions about what the world must urgently do to (B) limit the rise in global temperature to less than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.Solution
1.      (e) 1- We need to replace WITHOUT (in the absence of something) with WITHIN (occurring inside (a particular period of time)). The object of the preposition (LIFETIME) denotes time. 2- We need to replace PERIODICAL (occurring or appearing at intervals; occasional) with RADICAL ((especially of change or action) relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something). We need an adjective to modify the noun APPROACHES. The sentence talks about tackling a planetary challenge, which cannot be done without urgent action. 3- We need to replace DISTRACTIONS (a thing that prevents someone from concentrating on something else) with DISCUSSIONS (the action or process of talking about something in order to reach a decision or to exchange ideas). We need a noun to be modified by the adjective WIDE-RANGING. The sentence talks about limiting the rise in global temperature. Since BBA is the correct combination, (e) is the right answer.
