Question

Find the appropriate word in each case.

  • A) Hardship, turnover
  • B) Nettle, background
  • C) Deprivation, hardship
  • D) Goad, Expense
  • E) Background, expense
Solution

Ans. C

The word ‘hardship’ which means ‘a suffering’ and ‘deprivation’ which means ‘the lack or denial of something considered to be a necessity’ fit here correctly as the sentence is talking about such conditions. Only option C makes sense here. The word ‘turnover’ means ‘the amount of money taken by a business in a particular period’ and makes no sense here. The word ‘nettle’ means ‘annoy’ and is irrelevant here. The word ‘goad’ means ‘to provoke’ and fails to convey any meaning here.
