Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Subdued

Explanation:

Subdued means restrained in style or quality. Softened means being or made softer or less loud or clear.
Dampened means to suppress or constrain so as to lessen in intensity. Quite means to a degree (not used with a negative).
Silenced means reduced to silence. The reaction of the authorities is already mentioned, i.e. muted. All the options, except 'quite', are synonymous with 'muted'. But the reaction was toned-down. Hence, the correct answer is 1.

The condition of the hospital and its services reflecting on the inadequacy of Bihar's healthcare system, with patients usually increasing the number of beds available being treated on the floor, insipid food and long bill of medication and services.

A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8) B) (2)-(6)
C) (1)-(5) D) Both (4)-(8) and (1)-(5)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) (2)-(6)

Explanation:

Abilities belong to humans, not of institutions. The number of beds in a hospital are fixed. They cannot be increased beyond a certain limit. So, if the number of beds is less, the number of patients often exceed the number of beds. Insipid and tasteless are synonymous, so no change there. Both medication and medicine have bills, so, changing hem wouldn’t make a difference. Hence, the correct answer is 2.
