Answer should be on the contrary for the question no 34 in english ( option D) (Question:396535.7)

Answer should be on the contrary for the question no 34 in english ( option D)

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In the following passage, some of the words have been left out and replaced by a blank with a number along with. First read the passage and try to understand what it is about. Then fill in the blanks with the help of the alternatives given.


This is one failure that the Tamil Nadu government will struggle to _(a)_(live up to). Its handling of the challenge posed by the new norm that all medical college admissions should be based _(b)_ (nominally) on the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test has been a disaster. It failed to prepare students under its school education board for the demanding common entrance test _(c)_(designed by) the Central Board of Secondary Education, and it could not defend before the judiciary its _(d)_(notable) decision to block 85% of medical seats for State board students. In the process, it has completely let down _(e)_(specialist) doctors from the State. The admission scene for professional courses has been _(f)_(beset) by uncertainty, confusion and all-round despair. The national admission policy was undoubtedly _(g)_(availed by) an unwilling State government by the Supreme Court and the Centre Yet, despite knowing that the State cannot remain insulated from the policy, the Tamil Nadu government did not respond with a concrete plan to upgrade its syllabus and prepare students for the task ahead. _(h)_(Because), it misled students into believing that they would get an exemption from NEET. It may have been justified in passing two Bills to exempt the State from NEET and send them to the Centre to secure the President’s assent. But meanwhile it should have told students to be ready for NEET if the assent did not come. The Centre is obviously _(i)_(insistent) to advise the President to give his assent, as granting _(j)_(exemption) to one State may lead to similar demands from other States; and, the legislation may not survive the Supreme Court’s scrutiny.

Mark the correct option for blank _(h)_.  

Options:
A)

to enhance 

B)

in order to strengthen 

C)

as long as 

D)

on the contrary 

E)

because 

Solution:

Ans: (a) On (or quite) the contrary is a phrase which is used to intensify a denial of what has just been implied or stated by suggesting that the opposite is the case, or conversely.
