There is a sentence that is missing in the paragraph below. Look at the paragraph and decide in which blank (option 1, 2, 3, or 4) the following sentence would best fit.

Sentence: Most were first-time users of a tablet and a digital app.

Paragraph: Aage Badhein’s USP lies in the ethnographic research that constituted the foundation of its development process. Customizations based on learning directly from potential users were critical to making this self-paced app suitable for both a literate and non-literate audience. ____(1)____The user interface caters to a Hindi- speaking audience who have minimal to no experience with digital services and devices. ____(2)____The content and functionality of the app are suitable for a wide audience. This includes youth preparing for an independent role in life or a student ready to create a strong foundation of financial management early in her life. ____(3)____Household members desirous of improving their family’s financial strength to reach their aspirations can also benefit. We piloted Aage Badhein in early 2021 with over 400 women from rural areas. ____(4)____The digital solution generated a large amount of interest in the communities.

The correct answer is

Option 4

The sentence begins with “Most”, a pronoun-like word that needs a group of people just named before it, and it describes them as first-time users of a tablet and a digital app — so it must come after the paragraph mentions the people who used the app.

Blanks (1), (2) and (3) come in the part that describes the app’s design, its user interface and its intended audience (youth, students, household members). No specific group of users has been introduced there, so “Most” would have nothing to refer to.

Just before blank (4), the paragraph says the app was piloted in early 2021 with over 400 women from rural areas. “Most were first-time users…” describes these women, and the next line — the digital solution generated a large amount of interest in the communities — follows naturally, since the novelty for first-time users explains the interest.

Hence, the answer is Option (4).

  1. Zombie cells may contribute to age-related chronic inflammation: this finding could help scientists understand more about the aging process and why the immune system becomes less effective as we get older. Zombie or “senescent” cells are damaged cells that can no longer divide and grow like normal cells. Scientists think that these cells can contribute to chronic health problems when they accumulate in the body. In younger people, the immune system is more effective at clearing senescent cells from the body through a process called apoptosis, but as we age this process becomes less efficient. As a result, there is an accumulation of senescent cells in different organs in the body, either through increased production or reduced clearance by the immune system. The zombie cells continue to use energy though they do not divide, and often secrete chemicals that cause inflammation, which if persistent for longer periods of time can damage healthy cells leading to chronic diseases.
