Question

Choose the word(s) which has the same meaning and can be used in the same context as the italicized word/phrase in both the given sentences.
I. The government decided to start a new series of lectures called the 'Honour Lecture Series'
II. The decision to set up a new University in that town was welcomed by the people.

• A. manage
• B. organise
• C. institute
• D. build
• E. plan

Answer 1

The correct option is C institute

The word that could replace the italicized word in both the sentences is option C 'Institute'. Institute means to establish. Institute also means to start a system or rule to exist. The context of the first sentence is that government has decided to begin new series of lectures. The second sentence means that decision of establishing new university was welcomed by people. Option A 'manage' means to govern or direct. Option B 'organise' means. arrange systematically. Option D 'build' means to construct or assemble. Option E 'plan' means. Thus, the best fit for both the sentences is Option C 'institute'.
