In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the four alternatives.

Very simply, a checklist is a list of items required, things to be done or points to be considered, used as a reminder. This is clear. Is the _______________ implication equally clear? Perhaps not. A checklist is purely objective, no _______________ is involved. That means, if the checklist is framed as a set ______ questions, the answer to every question can only be a binary “Yes” _______ “No” and nothing in between; no shades of grey. Such objectivity is the very antithesis of the education system today, both in the way teaching happens and in the ____________ of the student.

A checklist is purely objective, no _______________ is involved.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., subjectivity. 
The word “objective” is an adjective which means not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts. The blank should have the word opposite in meaning and also the blank requires a noun. Therefore, “subjectivity” is suitable as “subjective” is an adjective. Subjectivity means the quality of being based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.
