These sentences are followed by options that indicate the words, which may be selected to complete the set of sentences correctly. From the options given choose the most appropriate one.

B)

C)

babba

D)

aaabb

E)

None of these 

Solution:

Ans: (c) 

 ‘Accessary’ means not the chief perpetrator of a crime ‘Accessory’ means an additional or supplementary part. The second word is suitable here. 

‘Disinterested’ means unbiased by personal interest, and ‘uninterested’ means lack of interest(bored). The first word is suitable here.

‘Quietly’ means making no noise or of low volume and ‘quite’ means to a certain degree / extent. The second word makes sense here.

‘Reign’ means to allow /to rule/. The idiom ‘give rein to in the second word means to give license to /to leave without restrain. The first word appears most suitable here. 

‘Veracity’ means the truthfulness and ‘voracity’ means being ‘voracious’ or indulging too much in an activity (like eating). The first meaning is apt here. So the right order is babba.
