In the following question, the sentence given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option. 

The role of the ______ in the society is extremely important because it formulates the policies and takes the decisions.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. elite.

1. 'Ordinary' and 'common' are similar words and therefore cannot make a coherent sentence.

2. 'Poor' is also eliminated because the poor cannot formulate the policy.

3. 'Elite' means 'a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society'. Since only powerful people make decisions and formulate policies, it is the appropriate answer.
