Q. Select correct pair of words in the same order to fill in the blank spaces and make the sentence meaningful.
The factory workers _________ threatened to launch a strike for next 15 days to _______ their demands.- Published on 11 Apr 16a. have, press
b. has, press
c. did, get
d. nearly, fulfill
ANSWER: have, press
The factory workers have threatened to launch a strike for next 15 days to press their demands.
In this sentence,'press' means 'to put emphasis on'
Option (b) cannot be used because the word 'has' is used along with pronouns such as he, she, who, etc. and the singular nouns.
Option (c) The word 'did' is irrelevant and cannot be used.
Option (d) The workers want the management to fulfill their demands, so the right construction of the sentence to use this option (nearly,fulfill) has to be
The factory workers nearly threatened to launch a strike for next 15 days to get their demands fulfilled.
