Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition:

The policy was implemented _____ accordance with international standards.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

in

The blank needs the preposition that completes a fixed prepositional phrase.

The idiomatic phrase is 'in accordance with', meaning 'in agreement with' or 'following' a rule or standard.

So the correct reading is 'implemented in accordance with international standards', which fits perfectly.

Therefore 'in' is the required preposition, making option 1 the answer.

'by accordance', 'to accordance' and 'under accordance' are not valid English collocations.

The phrase 'in accordance with' is set and cannot be swapped with another preposition.

Recognising fixed prepositional phrases is the key skill this question tests.

Hence the most appropriate preposition is in.

  1. Over the past century, the world has witnessed a remarkable evolution in girls’ education. In many parts of the world, especially during the early 1900s, girls were often denied access to schools or allowed only basic literacy. Deeprooted social norms and economic barriers restricted girls to household roles, and their potential to contribute equally to society remained untapped.

    Gradually, global awareness about gender equality and human rights began to change this scenario. International organisations and local governments worked together to launch initiatives aimed at increasing female literacy rates, building safe schools, and encouraging families to send their daughters to study. Campaigns highlighting the importance of girls’ education brought hope to millions.

    Despite significant progress, challenges still persist in several developing nations, where poverty, early marriage, and cultural resistance continue to keep girls away from classrooms. However, the success stories of educated women who have become leaders, scientists, and change makers inspire others to break barriers. The evolution of girls’ education proves that empowering women through knowledge benefits entire communities and fuels sustainable development.
