1.	Which of the following fits in the blank labelled (E)?1). Admonishes2). Compensates3). Scatters4). Advocates
Answer» The passage makes it understood that the man had a small PLACE to LIVE in which was not suitable for him but he did not WANT to go away from his friends. Thus the word 'admonishes' which means 'scolds firmly' is incorrect here. The word 'compensates' which means 'reduce or counteract (something unwelcome or unpleasant) by exerting an opposite force or effect$' is the correct word here. The word 'scatters' means 'distributes' and is incorrect here. The word 'advocates' means 'supports' and is not wrong but is less apt than the word 'compensates.' The word 'boosts' means 'encourages' and is not the most suitable answer here. Thus OPTION 2 is the correct answer.
