what is the difference between levied & imposed..? (Question:233142.6)

what is the difference between levied & imposed..?

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.


Among the most _(a)_ (cumbersome) transport systems in the world, India’s railway network carries millions of people every day, linking the remotest destinations. Yet, in a fast-growing country with rising ambitions, the system is caught in a time warp, _(b)_ (able) to scale up its services to global standards and hobbled by inefficient management. Although the rot in passenger services has been repeatedly identified, it has only grown _(c)_ (better). The report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on catering services for the year ended March 2016 provides further _(d)_ (information) that little has changed in the system: food unsuitable for human consumption, contaminated and recycled items, packaged articles past their use-by date, and unauthorized items are sold on trains, all _(e)_ (endangering) the health of passengers. Such gross violations are all the more _(f)_ (concealed ) because the administration has instituted a mechanism to penalize agencies such as the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation and invites passengers to file complaints. Evidently, instances such as a Rs.1 lakh fine _(g)_ (levied) on the IRCTC for the presence of a cockroach in food supplied on the Kolkata Rajdhani Express three years ago have not resulted in any significant reform. Nor has private sector participation in food supply provided a _(h)_ (answer) for the problems linked to departmental catering. It is unlikely, therefore, that the recently unveiled catering policy will make a big difference _(i)_ (although) the process of identifying caterers, fixing prices, and ensuring quality control is _(j)_ (standard) and is monitored by external auditors. Independent oversight can potentially improve other aspects of service as well, such as the quality and maintenance of linen, which the CAG has found to be shockingly substandard.

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

Options:
A) waived
B) forced
C) imposed
D) put
E) Given option is correct
Solution:
Ans: (e)Given option is correct

'Levy' when used as a verb, it means to impose a tax, fee, or fine. So, levied is correct

waive means to refrain from insisting on or using a right or claim.
