a) Alleviates

b) Relegates

c) Downgrades

d) Transgresses

A) a-b B) b-c

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) b-c

Explanation:

The sentence talks about “drought and food security” which has pestered the region and in addition to that the climate and geography has worsened the matter and forced them to come to isolation. “Relegate and downgrade” are the two words which means to move down to a lower position arethe most suitable word to be filled in the blank. “alleviates” which means to make less severe, will not complete the sentence sensibly. “Transgress” which means “to misbehave or to break the law” which does not fit in the context whatsoever.

Another marvel on the far side of the lake was a little farm that felt like a secret in the city. Some of the gaunt Karnataka labourers even looked away when children came to dig and eat. But the greatest pleasure, this side of the lake, was the jamun tree. A few months back, Kalu and Sunil had a feast in the branches, shaking down a few berries for Mirchi.

That's when they came to know the second-coolest thing about the jamun tree : There were parrots nesting in it. Since then, some other road boys had been capturing the parrots one by one to sell at the Marol Market, but Sunil had brought Kalu around to the belief that the birds should be left as they were. Sunil listened for their squawks each morning, to make sure they hadn't been abducted in the night.

Kalu's expertise was in the recycling bins inside airline catering compounds. Private waste collectors emptied these dumpsters on a regular basis, but Kalu had mastered the trash truck's schedules. The night before pickup, Kalu would climb over the barbed-wire fences and raid the overflowing bins.

Kalu's routine had become known by the local police, however. He kept getting caught, until some constables proposed a different arrangement. Kalu could keep his metal scrap if he'd pass on information he picked up on the road about local drug dealers.


What was the second coolest thing about the Jamun tree?

A) Shaking down the berries for Mirchi B) There were parrots nesting in the tree
C) Selling parrots in the Marol Market D) Capturing parrots in the tree
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) There were parrots nesting in the tree
