SSC MTS - 09/10/2024 - (12:30 PM - 2:30 PM) • English • Q78

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The success and achievements of a school mostly _________ on its experience and resourcefulness.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. depend.

Context: The sentence is about what the success and achievements of a school are based on. The blank needs a verb that means 'rely on'.

Meaning of the words:

  • Achieve: To successfully reach a goal or complete something.

  • Credit: To acknowledge or recognise someone's contribution.

  • Begin: To start something.

  • Depend: To be influenced or decided by something; to rely on.

Correct word: Depend

Reason: The success of a school is something that depends on its experience and resourcefulness. The other words do not convey the correct sense of reliance.

Final Sentence: The success and achievements of a school mostly depend on its experience and resourcefulness.

Hence the chosen option is correct.
