Answer» Let us look into the meaning of the given words: AMISS – INAPPROPRIATE, wrong or not suitable Plaudit – an EXPRESSION of praise or approval Ephemeral – short-lived, lasting for a short time Empirical – based on observations or experience Incredible – unusual, unbelievable Clearly, options 3,4 and 5 can be eliminated as these words do not fit in the context. Also, the second paragraph is listing the various socio-economic FACTORS that provide hindrances in getting education. There is no approval or praise expressed. Thus, option 2 can be eliminated. The word amiss, when used in the blank, makes the SENTENCE meaningful. It conveys that all the listed reasons and factors make it not suitable for the children to attend schools. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. |
