Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
The vacancy _________ by the dismissal of the superintendent is expected to be filled up by the promotion of a U.D.C.

• A. made
• B. created
• C. invented
• D. generated
• E. procured

Answer 1

The correct option is B created

Option B: 'Created' means 'bring something into existence'. Here the person 'superintendent' was dismissed due to which a vacancy had been brought into existence.

Hence this word forms a complete meaningful sentence and option B is correct.

Option A: 'Made' means 'to construct or build something'.

Option C: 'Invented' means 'originate or create'. It refers to something that has never been created before, like the invention of an airplane by the Wright brothers.

Option D: 'Generated' means 'give rise to, be the cause of'.

Option E: 'Procured' means 'obtain with care or effort'.

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

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