In the following sentence, choose the pair of words that best completes the blanks to form a meaningful, grammatically correct sentence. A four-year-old girl ______ her life after she was _____ from a 400 ft deep borewell she had slipped into.

Introduction / Context:
This question tests vocabulary, collocations and the ability to select a pair of words that fits both the meaning and the grammar of a real-life news style sentence. The scene describes a tragic accident involving a small child who fell into a very deep borewell and was later brought out. The correct option must therefore match the emotional tone, the time sequence and the typical English expressions used in such reports.

Given Data / Assumptions:
- The subject is a four-year-old girl who had slipped into a 400 ft deep borewell.
- There are two blanks in the sentence: one before “her life” and one before “from a 400 ft deep borewell”.
- The second blank clearly goes with a passive construction “she was _____ from a 400 ft deep borewell”.
- We assume the sentence describes what happened after she was brought out.

Concept / Approach:
The approach is to check (1) meaning, (2) grammar and (3) natural collocations. For the first blank, we need a verb that commonly combines with “her life”. Common newspaper phrases include “lost her life” (died), “saved her life”, “risked her life”, and so on. For the second blank, typical verbs with “from a borewell” are “rescued”, “pulled out”, “taken out”. Among the options, we have to identify the pair that produces a natural sounding and logically correct sentence.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Focus on the second blank: “she was _____ from a 400 ft deep borewell”. Step 2: The only option that makes sense here is “rescued”. People are usually “rescued from” dangerous places. Step 3: Now look at the first blank: “A four-year-old girl ______ her life after she was rescued …”. Step 4: In tragic accident reports, the standard expression is “lost her life”, meaning “died”. Step 5: Combine the two: “A four-year-old girl lost her life after she was rescued from a 400 ft deep borewell she had slipped into.” Step 6: Check tense consistency (simple past), subject–verb agreement and logical sequence of events. Everything fits.

Verification / Alternative check:
Read the full sentence aloud: “A four-year-old girl lost her life after she was rescued from a 400 ft deep borewell she had slipped into.” This is exactly the kind of sentence that appears in news reports. It is grammatically correct, logically ordered and sounds natural. No other option gives this level of correctness and natural usage.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- “Defaulted, released”: “defaulted her life” is meaningless, and “released from a borewell” is not a natural collocation here.
- “Made, treated”: “made her life” does not describe death, and “treated from a borewell” is grammatically wrong.
- “Maintained, sustained”: “maintained her life” is unusual and “sustained from a borewell” is incorrect usage.

Common Pitfalls:
Students sometimes focus only on one blank and ignore the other, choosing a pair where one word fits loosely but the second does not. Another mistake is to pick words based only on emotional tone (for example, “treated” sounds medical) without checking collocations like “rescued from” or “lost her life”. Always read the complete sentence after inserting the pair, and check both meaning and natural usage.

Final Answer:
The only option that produces a natural, grammatically correct and meaningful sentence is “Lost, rescued”.
