From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentence
The smaller boys had always drawn back in fear when the bully raised a fist, but this time they did not ________
A
advance
B
agree
C
retaliate
D
recoil
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The sentence contrasts a past habit with a new action. Previously, the boys always “drew back in fear” when threatened (i.e., they recoiled). But this time, they did not do that; instead, they stood their ground or fought back. The most appropriate word that fits this contrast is “retaliate”, which means to fight back or respond to an attack.

The economy of the country has remained _______ despite the crisis
A
strong
B
realistic
C
tough
D
firm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The best answer is A. strong because it best describes an economy that has weathered a crisis and remained in a positive, resilient state. The other options do not capture this meaning as effectively.
"Realistic" suggests the economy is grounded in facts, but does not necessarily indicate strength or resilience.
"Tough" implies the economy has faced difficulties, but does not convey that it has remained stable.
"Firm" suggests the economy has maintained a steady, unwavering state, which is similar to "strong" but not as concise and powerful a descriptor.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. strong.
