Answer 1

Hint: We can find the solution once we centre and read the sentence a couple of times. We may get a couple of alternatives at the top of the priority list at first, however, there must be one answer that fits consummately to depict that circumstance. Plainly a relational word should be utilized, and to discover the relational word attempt to frame an inquiry out of the given sentence. The possibility of the sentence ought to show what the clear could contain.

Complete answer:
(A)Concentration is (a) helped by alertness. According to the words given prior and after the blank to be filled, the most reasonable word that can fit from the given choices is - 'Helped'. If we put the other options, the whole sentence doesn’t seem to make the right sense.
(B) Effective speaking (b) depends on effective listening. The Word Effective Speaking is singular and naturally, it has no plural. This implies therefore that the form of the word 'depend' that best fills the gap is ' depends '.
(C) Economic growth (c) changes attitudes and lifestyle. When a situation is said to be changed in a particular way, then the word 'Changes' is used. Although they are related, attitudes and lifestyle are connected indirectly. So, the unconnected changes use the plural form of the word. So, it will be - Changes.
(D) The environment has always (d) been in control of our destiny. The word 'been' is used in this context of the given sentence because the word 'has' is used in the sentence. The word 'has' refers to past tense and so, from the given sentences, 'been' is the right word to be used after the word 'always' in this context. Since the word 'has' is used, the word ' was' cannot be used consequently, although they are both in the past tense.
(E) They believe that logic (e) has no place in faith. The sentence is in present tense and therefore the word to fill the gap should be in the present tense. The word logic is in singular form and thus the word to fill the blank should cover this.

(A) Concentration is (a) helped by alertness. (B) Effective speaking (b) dependson
effective listening. (C) Economic growth (c) Changes attitudes and lifestyle. (D) The
environment has always (d) been in control of our destiny. (E) They believe that logic (e)
has no place in faith.

Note: Allow us to perceive how we can remain clear about what a modifier or intensifier is. We will clear up the confusion.
- Adjectives can discuss things or depict them. It is unmistakably a reliant element. So, it regularly goes before or it is prevailing by the article that is depicted by the word that would be the descriptor. It may very well be positive or negative. It can likewise say the amount of the word it portrays or in different cases it’s quality.
- Now investigate modifiers, they are what can portray or change descriptors or different intensifiers and action words. It is additionally ready to portray a whole sentence. Normal thought is that it closes with – ly, yet that isn't feasible for each intensifier. It can possibly change or add significance to a word.
