Question

Select suitable option to complete the sentence:

For nations' conscious of the _______ of modern war, peace must be the goal of their foreign policies.

• A. perils
• B. incidence
• C. prudence
• D. redundancies
• E. potentialities

Answer 1

The correct option is A perils

Option A: 'Perils' means 'exposure to injury, loss or destruction'.

Option B: 'Incidence' means 'the occurrence of an undesirable thing'.

Option C: 'Prudence' means 'the quality of being wise in practical affairs'.

Option D: 'Redundancies' means 'a superfluous repetition or overlapping, especially of words'.

Option E: 'Potentialities' means 'possibilities'.

From these options, 'peril' is most appropriate in meaning: 'perils or dangers of modern war'.

Hence option A is correct.

The other words do not form a complete meaningful sentence.

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