succinct???? (Question: 147917.4 )

why??

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.


The Government has _(a)_ domestic airlines to charge passengers for the services they avail of. Low-cost carriers are already doing this in the case of in-flight meals served to passengers. The principle here is obvious : It costs the airline something to provide any service and the passenger, therefore, should pay for it. That includes charging for checked-in baggage, which till now was allowed to be carried ‘free’. But if there was no _(b)_ charge for checked-in baggage, it was only because the cost was inbuilt into the fare. Passengers without checked-in baggage were, thus, _(c)_ those with it, since the fare was the same for both. The airlines are now saying they will offer cheaper fares to those without checked-in baggage, though that remains to be seen. However, senior citizens (who travel a lot these days) and others who can’t carry weights even up to the 7 kg permitted for cabin baggage will find they are paying more merely because they are old or _(d)_. As airlines continuously seek to charge customers by services that they avail of, there may soon be a stage where they have to make trade-offs between customer disaffection (from irksome procedures) and superior value proposition of their service. Passengers meanwhile may well ask. “If baggage up to 20 kg was not charged till now. What has changed? The airlines’ _(e)_ answer is “fuel costs”. That is doubtless true, but then what happened to the supposedly more’ fuel efficient’ engines now in use? Have they suddenly lost their efficiency?

Choose the correct option for (e).

Options:
A) verbose
B) equivocal
C) succinct
D) ambivalent
E) ambiguous
Solution:

Ans: (c) succinct

The answer is ‘fuel costs’. Just two words. The best word to describe this is those succinct.
