- Retard
- Provide
- Disable
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Look at what expedite, hasten and hurry have in common before checking the options. All three verbs describe making a process quicker or getting something done sooner. The missing word must carry that same speed-up meaning.
- Accelerate: to speed up a process or action, so it fits right alongside expedite, hasten and hurry.
- Retard: to hold something back or make it slower. This pulls in the opposite direction.
- Provide: to give or arrange something for someone. There is no link to pace at all.
- Disable: to make something unable to function. This also has no connection to speed.
Since accelerate is the only word that means to hurry something along, the answer is option (A).

- In a game, a "word" is any combination of at least five letters of the English alphabet (the word does not have to have a meaning). A "sentence" in this game consists of exactly six such words, and it must satisfy all of the following rules:
1. The six words are written from left to right on a single line, in strictly increasing alphabetical order.
2. The sentence may start with any word. Each successive word is obtained from the word right before it by applying exactly ONE of three operations: deleting one letter, adding one letter, or replacing one letter with another letter.
3. At most three of the six words can begin with the same letter.
4. Apart from the first word, every word must be formed using an operation different from the one used to form the word immediately before it (so the same operation can never be used twice in a row).
