The question below has one blank, which is indicating that something has been omitted. Find out which option can be used to fill up the blank to make it meaningfully complete.
The committee ________ the outdated rule after months of debate.

Correct option is C

The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) rescinded.
“Rescinded” means revoked or canceled officially (रद्द करना/निरस्त करना). An “outdated rule” being canceled after debate matches policy-making usage. The other options imply imposing, approving, showing off, or wavering—none mean canceling a rule. (Hindi: रद्द/निरस्त करना)
Example: The board rescinded the fee hike following stakeholder feedback.
Explain why other options are incorrect.
· (a) mandated: officially required or ordered (अनिवार्य करना/आदेश देना) — opposite action.
· (b) ratified: formally approved (अनुमोदित करना/सत्यापित करना) — would keep the rule, not cancel it.
· (d) flaunted: displayed ostentatiously (दिखावा करना/शो करना) — irrelevant to rules’ legal status.
· (e) vacillated: wavered between options (डगमगाना/दुविधा में रहना) — indecision, not a final act.
