Why not dilemma?

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In questions, sentences are given with blanks to be filled in with an appropriate word(s). Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.

Due to loan waivers, many state government are in a financial ______.

Options:
A) quandary
B) deficit
C) predicament
D) dilemma
Solution:

Solution: (c)

• Quandary, predicament and dilemma have almost the same meaning. But a quandary is anything puzzling and a dilemma is a choice in which you’re forced to choose between equally bad alternatives.

Eg: How will you find your way home by crossing miles of terrain? That’s a quandary, not a dilemma.

• Predicament – An uncomfortable situation that is difficult to get out of.
