1.

Which of these words appropriately fits blank labelled (C) ?1). Amiss2). Plaudit3). Ephemeral4). Empirical

Answer»

Let us look into the meaning of the given words:

AMISSINAPPROPRIATE, 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.
