CAT 1998 — VARC Question 6
Double BlankEasy
Passage / Data
Direction: Fill in the blanks of the following sentences using the most appropriate word or words from among the options given for each.
Football evokes a ___ response in India compared to cricket, that almost ___ the nation.
Answer & solution
Correct answer: lukewarm ... electrifies
- A
tepid ... boiling
lukewarm ... electrifies
- C
turbid ... fascinating
- D
apocryphal ... genuinely fascinates
Solution
'Lukewarm' fits in the first blank, and in the second, we need a verb. So 'electrifies' is the best suited of all the given choices. ‘boiling’ and ‘fascinating’ cannot grammatically fit the second blank. ‘almost’ and ‘genuinely’ are unlikely to go together.
