Question

In each sentence two words are omitted and replaced with blanks. Choose the pair of words from the given options that can fill the blanks in the same order without changing the intended meaning.


With reading children may often misread words and with writing they may have ______________ spelling and _______________ to reverse letters.

A.

consistent, propensity

B.

haphazard, antipathy

C.

transitive, inclination

D.

narrative, probability

E.

erratic, tendency

Correct option is E

The correct answer is E (erratic, tendency).

Explanation:

This sentence describes the symptoms of a learning difficulty (likely dyslexia).

  • First Blank: The sentence mentions children "misread words." Therefore, their spelling wouldn't be "narrative" or "transitive." It would be unpredictable or full of errors. Erratic (not even or regular) fits perfectly here. While "consistent" spelling is possible, the sentence implies a struggle, and "consistent" usually refers to a steady pattern, whereas learning struggles often involve erratic mistakes.
  • Second Blank: The second part describes a common symptom: reversing letters (like writing 'b' for 'd'). A child with these struggles has a tendency (a likelihood or habit) to do this.

Meanings of all words:

Erratic

  • Meaning: Not even or regular in pattern or movement; unpredictable.
  • Hindi Meaning: अनिश्चित (Anishchit) / अनियमित (Aniyamit)

Tendency

  • Meaning: An inclination toward a particular characteristic or type of behavior.
  • Hindi Meaning: प्रवृत्ति (Pravritti) / झुकाव

Consistent

  • Meaning: Acting or done in the same way over time; unchanging.
  • Hindi Meaning: सुसंगत (Susangat) / स्थिर

Propensity

  • Meaning: An often intense natural inclination or preference.
  • Hindi Meaning: झुकाव (Jhukaav)

Haphazard

  • Meaning: Lacking any obvious principle of organization.
  • Hindi Meaning: बेतरतीब (Betarteeb)

Antipathy

  • Meaning: A deep-seated feeling of dislike; aversion.
  • Hindi Meaning: घृणा (Ghrina) / चिढ़

Final Answer: E
