Question 1 |
The Darwin who ________ is most remarkable for the way in which he ________ the attributes of the world class thinker and head of the household.
comes, figures | |
arises, adds | |
emerges, combines | |
appeared, combines |
Question 1 Explanation:
In the given case, we select option C. In this case, Darwin is being referred to in terms of his thoughts, and not as a person. Hence we select emerges (and not the word appeared, which is used in the incorrect tense). Option A or B (comes or arises) are illogical in the given case.

scars, understand |
Question 2 Explanation:
In this case, we can see that the second blank requires the word ascertain, as from the face of the person, we cannot figure out her emotions. Her face has to be free of expressions, expressions refer to the feelings expressed on a person's face.
