  2.    Critique
  3.    Wanes
  4.    Forecasts
  5.    Valorize
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Traverses
Answer: (a)Meaning: Traverses - to travel across or through, Critique - a detailed analysis of something, Wanes - becomes weaker, Valorize - to give value to something “Critique and Wanes” can’t be filled in the blank because the sentence tells about praise by someone for a movie and these words give a negative sense. Also, “a couple that forecasts/valorize (giving value to) decades and continents” makes no sense. “Traverses” which means ‘to travel through’, suits to the phrase.
Question 28. The mother of the girl collapsed after witnessing the ____________crime and was admitted to a hospital.
  1.    Unwanted
  2.    Bearable
  3.    Grisly
  4.    Garrulous
  5.    Faithful
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Grisly
Answer: (c)Meaning: Grisly - Causing horror or disgust, Garrulous - Excessive talking on unimportant matters The blank requires a word that describes a crime and such a word can’t be positive. Bearable, Faithful are illogical here. Crime is something a person does purposely. Hence, it cannot fit in the blank. Garrulous is an adjective of a person, not of a crime.
Question 29. Despite the ruling party’s confidence, there was ____________ resentment against them in some quarters of the city.
  1.    Palpable
  2.    Jeopardize
  3.    Defective
  4.    Convenient
  5.    Proposition
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Palpable
Answer: (a)Meaning: Palpable - capable of being handled, jeopardize - put something is a situation of danger, Proposition - a statement of judgment or opinion. The noun - resentment can’t be preceded with “Jeopardize and Proposition” as all these words are nouns. Resentment means feeling of anger over something. Feeling of anger can’t be “defective or convenient”. “Palpable” which means capable of being handled is a suitable adjective before resentment.
