• A. preparations
• B. observations
• C. urgencies
• D. transactions
• E. commitments

Answer 1

The correct option is E commitments

Option E: 'Commitments' means 'dedicated to a cause or activity'.

This word completes the sentence in meaning: Ravi had to drop his plan on going on a picnic as he had dedicated himself to certain activities during that period'.

Hence option E is correct.

Option A: 'Preparations' refers to 'some things done to get ready for an event'.

Option B: 'Observations' means 'the ability to notice things, especially significant details'.

Option C: 'Urgencies' means 'importance requiring swift action'.

Option D: 'Transactions' means 'instances of buying or selling things'.

These words are not the most suitable to the sentence in meaning and relevance.

Hence options A, B, C and D are incorrect.
