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.
Many national surveys ______ that malnutrition is common in developed countries.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. reveal.
- Wheal means a red, swollen mark left on flesh by a blow or pressure.
- Reveal means make (previously unknown or secret information) known to others.
- Sheal means to take the husks or pods off from a shell or pod.
- Vineal is something relating to grapes or grapevines.
Surveys depict/present information (statistical in form too) that's supposed to be either revealed or preserved. So, this option is correct because it talks about making the fact about malnutrition known to others. The rest of the given options portray different meanings and will altogether make the statement sound absurd.
