He is going to _________ the campaign against excessive use of _________ in local production units.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. lead and option 4 i.e. spice.
Context: The sentence talks about someone starting or directing a campaign against excessive use of something in production units. The correct sense is 'lead the campaign against excessive use of spice.'
Meaning of the words:
-
Protest – means objecting, but we don’t “protest a campaign”; we “lead” it.
-
Spice – refers to flavoring ingredients, which makes sense in the context of food production.
-
Lead – means to guide or direct, correct here.
-
Combat – means fight, but the sentence requires 'lead the campaign,' not 'combat the campaign.'
Correct words: Lead and spice, because one leads a campaign against the use of spice.
Final Sentence: He is going to lead the campaign against excessive use of spice in local production units.
Hence, the chosen options are correct.
