Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
The stenographer is very efficient. He is ____________ to his firm.
A. A credit
B. A blessing
C. An asset
D. A boon

Answer 1

Hint:Look out for a term related to firm, anything that is profitable to a firm is considered as what? And what do we term it when something is causing losses to the firm.
Look out for adjectives related to firm, try to relate with the context

Complete answer:
Firms classify every individual into asset or liability. It knows no other language other than classifying it in either asset or liability form. Assets and liabilities are classified based on the returns they generate. For instance, a loan borrowed by the firm may lead to a huge expenditure of the firm into paying interest, which is classified as a liability. But if the firm advances a loan to someone, then the firm earns interest, which is why it is classified as an asset.
In the given question, we are told that the stenographer is very efficient, which means that it is good for the firm. So, the stenographer would be an asset to the firm he works in.
Therefore, the answer is Option C.

For example:
Girls are regarded as liability in many parts of India.
She communication skills are an asset for the company, as excels in the field of diplomacy
Education is the best asset in the world!
Don’t consider your weakness as your liability, improve upon your weakness to make it your strength.
Your skills are your assets

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: Usually, the words used in a sentence are contextual, please try to understand the context and proceed for the solution. For instance, it was clear from the above example that we have to use ‘asset’ because we are talking about a firm here. But if in case we were given some other situation, for instance, She is a blessing to the family, as she brought laurels to her home through her sweet voice. Here, we are talking about family, that’s why we have to use ‘blessing’ and not assets.
