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.
A learned man may be stupid for he knows only from books and not from his ______.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Experiences.
- 'His' is a possessive adjective and therefore it requires a noun after it.
- Out of the given options, option 3 is not a noun. The remaining options are nouns.
- 'Repercussion' means 'bad result of an event'. Since no event is mentioned, option 4 is also eliminated.
- 'Arbitration' means 'negotiation' which does not make a coherent sentence.
- 'Experiences' is the apropriate word.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
