Question
The minister was forced to cancel his trip to Copenhagen after his request for permission to travel did not ____________ a response from the centre.
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)Meaning: Kindled - to set something on fire, Elicit - to deduce or draw out of something/someone, Educed - developed, Provoke - to motivate The blank has a word “did” before it, which requires a verb in its basic form (1st form) only after it. But, we have three words in options which are in past forms - Kindled, Discovered and Educed. All these can’t be filled in the blank. Also, a response isn’t something that can be provoked. This leaves us with only one option, i.e. Elicit, to be placed in the blank.
