rbi (Question: 329620.0 )

pls provide to take retest

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In the given passage there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. Against each, five words are suggested, one of which fits the blanks appropriately. Find the appropriate word in each case.

Business is ___(a)____ for hard times. Expectations have been falling since February, according to IfoBusines Survey. The biggest problem is the euro crisis, which is playing ___(b)____ with Germany’s trading partners. Industrial orders from the Euro zone ___(c)____ by 21% in September. Demand will also ___(d)____from Asia and eastern Europe, which have been Germany’s fastest-growing markets. Exports ___(e)____around half of the country’s GDP, so a slowdown is ___(f)____ In November, the government’s advisory council predicted that growth would ___(g)____ from 3% this year to 0.9% in 2014.

This may look like poetic justice to peripheral euro-zone countries, which are ___(i)____ partly because Germany demands ___(h)____in return for aid. But there are no grounds to rejoice. First, German strength has helped them; they will ___(j)____worse if Germany falters. Second, Germany is still in pretty good shape.

Mark the correct option for blank ___(a)___.

Options:
A)

bracing    

B)

heading    

C)

finding    

D)

riding        

E)

balancing

Solution:

Ans: (b)

Key terms such as “hard times”, “expectations have been falling”, “euro crisis” and soon suggest a gloomy environment for business. Hence, the first blank requires a word which would imply that business is going to face unpleasant developments. This rules out the choices (3), (4) and (5). Between bracing’, which means preparing someone or yourself for something unpleasant that is going to happen, and ‘heading’ which means likely to experience something bad, ‘heading’ is apt to fill the blank as bracing always needs a reflexive or objective pronoun. So, choice (2) is the right answer.
