Answer 1

The correct option is A fit

The word that has same meaning as the italicized word in both the sentences is Option A, fit. 'Fit' means of good enough quality or standard. It also means to install or fix something properly. Sentence I means that the management did not find her fit for the job of a receptionist. Sentence II means that Kanak could not fit the parts of the machine properly. Option B, 'Harbour' means to keep some thought in one's mind secretly. Option C, 'adjust' means to tune or regulate. Option D, 'deploy' means to position or install. Option E, 'harness' means straps by which an animal is fastened to cart and controlled by driver. Thus, options B, C, D and E are incorrect and the correct word for both the given sentences is Option A, fit.
