Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

"Malaria ______ is one of the top priorities of the government," said the Minister.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

  1. eradication- to get rid of it completely.
  2. dismissal-  the termination of employment by an employer against the will of the employee.
  3. abolition- the act of ending a law or system officially.
  4. exclusion- keeping or leaving somebody/something out.

“Eradication” means “the complete destruction of something” and this word is generally associated with global problems and Malaria is one of them. Therefore it should come with Malaria in the blank. Hence option 1 is correct.

The correct sentence will be-

"Malaria eradication is one of the top priorities of the government," said the Minister.
