Question:
DIRECTIONS: In the following passage, there are blanks which have been numbered.And after the blank is given  a word which could be the probable answer. If it is the required word for the blank, then choose option (e) as your answer, if not, then, against each number four words are suggested, one of which fits the blanks appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case and mark it as your answer.


A recent ___1__(discovery) by scientists at the USA Geological Survey shows that __2__(regular) animal behaviour might help __3__(control) future earthquakes. Investigators found such ___4___(occurrences) in a ten kilometre radius of the epicentre of a fairly recent quake. Some birds ___5__(migrated) and flew about wildly, dogs __6__(yelped) and ran uncontrollably. Scientists believe that animals can ___7__(see) these environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap. In 1976, after observing the animal behaviour, the Chinese were able to predict a ___8__(controlled) quake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to __9__(leave) millions of other and thus keep the death __10__(rate) at a lower level.

Mark the correct option for blank _(10)_.

Options:
A) rate
B) toll
C) pace
D) alarm
E) Given option is correct
Solution:
Ans: (b)

The death toll of an accident, disaster, or war is the number of people who die in it, or death toll is the number of deaths resulting from a particular cause.

Eg: The day after the explosion the death toll had risen to 90.

While the death rate is the number of people per thousand who die in a particular area during a particular period of time

Eg: By the turn of the century, Pittsburgh had the highest death rate in the United States.

Hence, it would be death toll and not death rate
