The question below has one blank, which is indicating that something has been omitted. Find out which word from the options can be used to fill up the blank to make it meaningful.

India has _______________wide-ranging initiatives across the critical domains of education.

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: B (undertaken)

Explanation:

Sentence: India has _______________wide-ranging initiatives across the critical domains of education. We need a verb that describes the act of starting, committing to, or performing a task or project (initiatives).

Option Analysis:

A) annexed

• Meaning: Append or add as an extra or subordinate part; to take control of a territory.
• Hindi: हड़प लेना / जोड़ना
• Usually refers to land or documents, not educational initiatives.

B) undertaken

• Meaning: Commit oneself to and begin (an enterprise or responsibility); take on.
• Hindi: शुरू करना / हाथ में लेना / दायित्व लेना
• Correct usage: It is the standard colocation to say a government has "undertaken initiatives" or "undertaken a project."

C) vanished

• Meaning: Disappeared suddenly and completely.
• Hindi: गायब हो जाना
• Initiatives do not "vanish" wide-ranging things; this is an intransitive verb and does not fit the sentence structure.

D) jostled

• Meaning: Push, elbow, or bump against (someone) roughly, typically in a crowd.
• Hindi: धक्का-मुक्की करना
• This describes physical movement in a crowd and is irrelevant to policy-making.

E) disdained

• Meaning: Consider to be unworthy of one's consideration.
• Hindi: तिरस्कार करना / घृणा करना
• If India disdained the initiatives, it wouldn't be "across critical domains"; it would imply they rejected them, which doesn't fit the constructive tone of the sentence.

Final Sentence: India has undertaken wide-ranging initiatives across the critical domains of education.

Final Answer: B
