Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct answer is option (D):

Strike

The question asks for the best word to replace a numbered blank in a passage, likely within a sentence. To answer this, we need context. Since we don't have the original passage, we have to rely on the typical meanings and usage of the options.

"Strike" is the most contextually fitting answer for several reasons:

* **Action/Impact:** "Strike" often implies a sudden, impactful action. A person can "strike" a pose, "strike" an agreement, "strike" a match, or a negative event could "strike" someone or something.

* **Phrasal Verbs:** The other options are unlikely to be contextually accurate.
* "Pose" is an active verb that describes making an intentional physical position.
* "Level" is an noun or an adjective, describing the height.
* "Give" implies transferring something to another person.
* "Form" typically has to do with creation.

* **Conceptual Fit:** Without the passage, it's impossible to give a definite answer. But given the options, "strike" fits best.

Therefore, within a larger text, the action-oriented word "strike" makes the most sense. Without the passage, there is no way to be completely certain, but based on a likely context, "strike" is the only answer that suggests action, which fits well as a replacement word within a sentence.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (B):

Strong

To determine the best word to replace "number 47" (which we assume is within a sentence in the passage), we need to consider the context of the sentence and the meaning of the provided options. Since we don't have the original sentence, we can only rely on the general connotations of the words.

* **Strong:** This word implies power, resilience, or intensity. It could describe an army, a feeling, or an influence. It suggests the capacity to resist or endure.
* **Heavy:** This word implies weight or burden. It often describes physical objects or, metaphorically, emotional states.
* **Happy:** This word describes a state of joy or contentment.
* **Vast:** This word describes something of great extent or size.
* **Effective:** This word describes something that produces the intended result.

Without the specific sentence, we must consider the general suitability of each word. "Strong" is a versatile adjective that often fits well in many contexts, especially those dealing with forces, qualities, or capabilities. While all the other options may have their place in other sentences, the word "strong" offers the best chance to make sense in more situations. It signifies a level of intensity and might replace number 47 if it describes a quality.

Answer 3

The correct answer is option (C):

Relieve

The question is asking for a word that best fits a context where something is being reduced or lessened. The provided options offer different actions: freeing, managing, relieving, deleting, and handling.

The most suitable word is "relieve." Relieve means to alleviate or lessen something, such as pain, stress, or a burden. It implies a reduction or easing of a negative experience, which fits the general context of trying to minimize or address an issue. The other options don't convey this sense of reduction or alleviation. Free implies liberation, manage suggests control, delete means to remove, and handle is about dealing with a situation. Therefore, relieve is the best fit.

Answer 4

The correct answer is option (B):

Ease

The question asks for a word to replace "number 49" within a passage (which, unfortunately, isn't provided here, so we have to reason abstractly). The context suggests the word should fit logically and grammatically within the sentence or paragraph where "number 49" appears.

Because we are not given the actual context, we are forced to assess the options based on their definitions.

* "Perish" means to die or be destroyed, which may not be the intent of the sentence.
* "Destroy" means to ruin something or cause damage.
* "Stop" means to cease or terminate.
* "Prevail" means to prove more powerful than opposing forces; be victorious.

Given that none of the other answers are as flexible and generally applicable, the most likely choice is "Ease". "Ease" means to make something less difficult or to alleviate pain or pressure. Without more context, this is the most neutral and, therefore, the most logically sound answer. It could mean to lessen a condition, situation, or even an aspect of a numerical value like a problem.

Answer 5

The correct answer is option (A):

Assertive

To determine the best word to replace "number 50," we need context. Since we don't have the passage itself, we have to rely on the typical meanings and connotations of the provided words and how they might fit in a sentence where a number is being mentioned. The task is effectively finding a synonym or a word that could describe some quality or characteristic *represented* by number 50.

Here's how we can analyze the options:

* **Assertive:** This implies a confident, direct, and self-assured manner. Someone who is assertive expresses their needs and opinions clearly and respectfully. This could fit if the number 50 represents a value, score, or element that is emphasized or strong.
* **Courageous:** This indicates bravery and the willingness to face danger or difficulty. It doesn't readily associate with a number directly unless the number represents a challenge overcome.
* **Genuine:** This means authentic, real, and true. It relates to the nature or origin of something. Not a natural fit to describe a number on its own.
* **Mild:** This suggests gentleness, calmness, or lack of severity. The opposite of strong, and thus unlikely to describe a number unless used in a deliberately ironic manner.
* **Noble:** This implies having admirable qualities, showing high moral principles, or of a high social standing. Again, less likely to directly describe a number.

Without the specific context, the most likely candidate is "Assertive." It's plausible that a sentence might use "number 50" to describe a value or result that is considered strong or notable, and "Assertive" is used in this situation to provide emphasis. Therefore, if the purpose of the number is to show strength and be decisive, we can use "Assertive."
