Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
These medicines are _____________ for curing a cold.

• A. proper
• B. real
• C. effective
• D. capable
• E. powerful

Answer 1

The correct option is C effective

Option C: 'Effective' means 'successful in producing a desired result'.

Here the medicines are successful in producing the desired result 'curing a cold'. Hence this word forms a complete meaningful sentence and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Proper' means 'suitable, appropriate'.

This word is not as suitable as option C.

Option B: 'Real' means 'not artificial, genuine'.

Option D: 'Capable' means 'able to achieve efficiently'.

Option E: 'Powerful' means 'having great power or strength'.

These words do not form a complete meaningful sentence.

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