Kindly look into it

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Each question below has one or more blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for the blanks which best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Though India does not have comprehensive laws that ________ companies polluting the environment, companies in India have become conscious of their roles and are taking necessary steps to ________environment and minimize damages.

Options:
A) allow, destroy
B) restrain, insulate
C) permit, endanger
D) limit, emancipate
E) restrict, conserve
Solution:

Ans: (e) restrict, conserve

Let us begin to answer this question by attempting to fill the second blank. ‘Minimize damages’ can be taken as the clue to infer that the steps taken by the companies were for a positive purpose. This inference helps us to eliminate options (a) and (c). Likewise options (b) and (d) can also be ruled out because they are inapt in the context of the sentence. This makes ‘conserve’ the most apt option and choice (e) as having the correct pair of words to fill the blank.
