Question

Choose the most effective word from the given words to fill in the blanks to make the sentence meaningfully complete. The policy changes were introduced in an _________ manner, without proper planning

• A. agreeable
• B. acceptable
• C. arbitrary
• D. admissible

Hint:

Always look for contrasting or supporting clauses in sentence completion questions.
The phrase ``without proper planning'' acts as a direct definition of the word ``arbitrary''.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the context.
The sentence says policy changes were introduced without proper planning, suggesting the manner was random or based on whim rather than reason.
Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options.
"Agreeable" and "acceptable" suggest positive reception; "admissible" relates to being legally allowed. None of these fit the idea of lacking planning.
Step 3: Select the correct word.
"Arbitrary" means based on random choice or personal whim rather than any reasoned system, perfectly describing changes introduced without proper planning.
\[ \boxed{\text{arbitrary}} \]
