Correct Answer: D
Correct Answer: flotsam
Correct Answer: C
Correct Answer: The offsetting of payment flows between geographical areas, reducing the cost of settlement between them.
Explanation:
The passage is based on economic development of the bank. It says that the economic growth of the bank in terms of the money is based on the cost of settlement. If this cost is reduced amongst the countries then the flow of payment will be maintained or vice versa. It is nowhere mentioned in the passage about rural or urban areas so we will take a general context. Hence option B is the correct option.
Correct Answer: Indians have always excelled in a competitive working environment.
Explanation:
Choice A is correct as it matches with the flow after a statement praising the professionalism of Indians, it is only logical to mention their excellence of working in a competitive environment. It also keeps up with the tone and general subject of the passage. Option 2 is a bad choice as it talks about being in their company which is not relevant in the context of the paragraph and therefore is incorrect as it is beyond the general theme. Option 3 is overall correct but we as we have to choose the best option so we have to cancel out on 3. Option 4 is obviously a lengthy reproduction of the sentence preceding the blank. As for option 5, it is incorrect as the statement does not keep up with the flow of the paragraph. Neither does it logically follow the previous sentence nor is it related to the next sentence.
Correct Answer: The preacher prayed that God would grant peace to the departed.
Correct Answer: RQP
Correct Answer: have been queuing up
Correct Answer: manifest
Correct Answer: chip
