    Question

    Fill in the blanks:
    The witness’s statement added ___ to the investigation and ultimately helped to ___ the mystery surrounding the case.

    A.

    Confusion, deepen

    B.

    Clarity, solve

    C.

    Ambiguity, escalate

    D.

    Evidence, delay

    Correct option is B


    The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) clarity, solve.
    Explanation:
    · Clarity (noun): the quality of being clear and easy to understand (स्पष्टता)। The witness’s statement made the situation clearer.
    · Solve (verb): to find an answer to a problem (समाधान करना)। The witness’s input helped in finding the truth.
    Why this fits: A witness providing clear information helps in solving a mystery. The pair of words forms a natural and logical sequence in investigative contexts.
    Grammatical Rule (English): Maintain logical subject–verb–object alignment. Use nouns like "clarity" with "add," and "solve" with "help" for action outcome.
    Grammatical Rule (Hindi): “Clarity” एक संज्ञा है जिसका अर्थ है स्पष्टता और “solve” एक क्रिया है जो किसी समस्या का समाधान बताता है।
    Meanings of the other options:
    · (a) Confusion – a state of disorder or uncertainty (उलझन), deepen – to make worse (बढ़ाना).
    · (c) Ambiguity – unclear meaning (अस्पष्टता), escalate – to intensify (बढ़ जाना).
    · (d) Evidence – proof (सबूत), delay – to postpone (देरी करना) – delays solving, not logical here.
