Question

Choose the alternative which best replaces the italicized bold part of the sentence:
The dispute between India and Pakistan can only be settled through negotiations.

• A. peace treaties
• B. mutual discussions
• C. nuclear wars
• D. imposing certain conditions

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

mutual discussions

Option B: 'Negotiations' means 'discussion aimed at reaching an agreement'.

'Mutual discussions' gives the same meaning of given italicized word. Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Peace treaties' is 'an agreement between two hostile parties that formally ends the state of war'.

Option C: 'Nuclear wars' is a war in which nuclear weapons are used.

Option D: 'Imposing certain conditions' does not give the meaning of the word 'negotiations'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'negotiations'.

So, options A, C and D are wrong.
