Solutions

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. “memo” is the correct word replacement as it means memorandum; note. Hence among the given options, only (c) fits into the sentence correctly.

S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. “equipped” is the correct word replacement as it means prepared (someone) mentally for a particular situation or task. Hence option (b) adds meaning to the sentence in a better way than any other words in the options.

S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. “triggered” is the correct word replacement as it means (of an event or situation) cause (someone) to do something. Other words are irrelevant in context of their meanings to the sentence. Hence (a) is the correct option.

S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. “repression” is the correct word in context of adding meaning to the sentence as it means the action of subduing someone or something by force. Hence it doesn’t require any replacement.

S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. “assessment” is the correct word replacement as it means the action of assessing someone or something. Other words change the meaning of the sentence. Hence (c) is the correct option.
