Question:

In each of the following sentences, parts of the sentence are left blank. Beneath each sentence, different ways of completing the sentence are indicated. Choose the best alternative among them.

The manners and __________ of the nouveau riche is a recurrent __________ in the literature.

Explanation:

For the second blank ‘theme’ goes best with “recurrent”. The theme has been explained in the first part of the statement which mentions the “nouveau riche”. This eliminates options 1 and 2.
“The manners and ...” indicate a word similar to manners, certainly no contrasting word to ‘manners’ would fit the first blank. ‘Morals’ goes better with ‘manners’ rather than ‘wealth’. In any case the word “nouveau riche” is present in the statement which signifies wealth.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
