Answers:
1) Answer: a)
Ceasefire, underscores, from
Both ‘ceasefire’ and ‘truce’ seem appropriate but option b) is discarded because you should use ‘from’ as the correct form of preposition here.
2) Answer: b)
accused, would be responsible, to
Use ‘to’ as the correct form of preposition instead of ‘for’. Use ‘accused’ as the correct alternative here.
3) Answer: b)
during, ahead, between
Out of suitable choices b) and c) , only b) is correct since when we compare two entities we use ‘between’.
4) Answer: d)
Mediation, had gone, from
Mediation is the intervention in a dispute in order to resolve it; arbitration. So option d) is suitable.
5) Answer: c)
Given, relevance, exhibits
Option d) can be easily eliminated looking at the tenses. Option c) is most suitable out of other choices.
6) Answer: a)
Had explained, about, healing
Use ‘had explained’ here as the sentence is talking about the event that happened in the past.
7) Answer: c)
Determined, imposes, economies
Going through the context of the paragraph, only counties and economies can be considered, so other options are discarded. Use ‘determined’ here- a verb instead of a noun.
8) Answer: a)
aggression, strategy, worked
Here, in the first blank a noun is to be used, therefore ‘Aggression’ is most appropriate.
9) Answer: d)
Speaking, lashed out, have affected
Lash out means to suddenly attack someone or something physically or criticize him, her, or it in an angry way.
10) Answer: b)
Scathing, possible, with
Scathing means witheringly scornful; severely critical. ‘With’ should be the correct preposition out of other choices.
