Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
It is easy to __________ but impossible to replace English medium education.

• A. deny
• B. approve
• C. propagate
• D. castigate
• E. eliminate

Answer 1

The correct option is D castigate

Option D: 'Castigate' means 'to criticize someone or something severely'.

Here, the sentence means that 'it is easy to criticize English medium education but impossible to replace it'.

The word forms a complete meaningful sentence and hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Deny' means 'refuse to admit the truth or existence of'.

Option B: 'Approve' means 'agree to or accept as satisfactory'.

Option C: 'Propagate' means 'spread and promote widely'.

Option E: 'Eliminate' means 'completely remove or get rid of (something)'.

These words do not form a complete meaningful sentence.

Hence options A, B, C and E are wrong.
