Question: For each of the questions below, select the word that fits well in all the four given sentences.
i. The Bill _______________________ reduction in electoral expenses.
ii. The plan ___________________ ten percent growth in production.
iii. The budget ____________________ a two-fold increase in this year’s turnover.
iv. The company __________________ a good production year due to better harvest.
All of the statements are in the future tense. Only “envisages” which means 'to contemplate; visualize' fits in all the blanks grammatically and logically. “Seeks” does not fit into the fourth blank. Eliminate option 1.
The verb “hopes” needs to be used in combination with the preposition “for” in order for the statements to be grammatically correct. Eliminate option 3.
The verb “demands” needs to be used in combination with an article in order for the statements to be grammatically correct. Eliminate option 4.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
