Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. agreements.

 

Filler Concept: The sentence talks about the Sharks making formal deals with new ventures

Grammatical Explanation:

Agreements means formal deals or contracts, which fits perfectly in the context of investing in start-ups

Promises are informal and not legally binding

Accounts refers to financial records, which doesn’t fit the context of making deals

Association is too vague and doesn’t directly mean deal-making

Correction: made incredible agreements with new ventures

Final Sentence: The Sharks have made incredible agreements with new ventures ranging from gadget start-ups to food firms.

Conclusion: The most appropriate option to fill (5) is agreements because it correctly describes formal deals made with businesses.
