Ans. (c); The option ‘must’, ‘would’, ‘should’, ‘better’, ‘often’ all are model verbs and (a) & (c) could be possibilities but keeping in mind the second blank we select the option accordingly. Now understand the context of question. Negligible cannot be a possibility so we will eliminate it. Now option (E) cannot be considered for its first option similarly D & B can not be considered. So the left out option is C.
4. Phrasal Verb

In above these kinds of questions your knowledge and understanding of common idioms & phrases in English language may be tested. Hence be sure to have such good skill of such phrases.
7. Try to determine the tone of the missing word-whether the required word is positive or negative in the meaning.
Ex.___________ to popular belief that red meat makes human aggressive, scientist have found that it actually has a calming effect.
(a) sticking
(b) Similarly
(c) opposite
(d) Contrary
Sol. On examining the sentence carefully it would be found that the blank needs a word that makes the first statements opposite to second. Hence only (c) & (d) satisfies this condition. But contrary fits more correct than opposite, so ans is (d)
8. In case you are confused between two or more options you can also apply the hit and trial method – one by one place each of the likely options in place of missing word in the sentence. The option which credits maximum meaning to the sentence should be the correct answer.
