Question :

Directions : In the following passage, some of the words have been left out and replaced with blanks represented by letters. First, read the passage and try to understand what it is about. Then, fill in the blanks as per the questions given.

Climate change has placed an enormous (A)_____ on resources, especially in developing nations that are most vulnerable yet least responsible for emissions. To address this imbalance, the idea of an international climate finance fund (B)______ over a decade ago, aiming to support mitigation and adaptation efforts in poorer countries. While the promise of climate justice sounded encouraging, the implementation has been inconsistent. The Green Climate Fund, launched in 2010, was supposed to be a key instrument in this regard. However, many of its pledged contributions are (C)______ delivered, leaving critical projects delayed or abandoned. In 2009, developed countries collectively committed to mobilising $100 billion a year by 2020, but this target has remained elusive. In reality, only a fraction of this amount has been (D)______ actual disbursement toward climate-focused initiatives. Countries such as Bangladesh and small island states continue to suffer from rising sea levels and erratic weather patterns, with minimal support reaching them in time. The recent establishment of a $10 billion climate resilience fund at COP summits brings a glimmer of hope. However, whether it will translate (E)_______ impactful action remains to be seen. Transparency, timely allocation, and local engagement are crucial if such funds are to succeed. The road (F)______ is complex, demanding greater accountability from wealthier nations. Without robust financial backing, climate-vulnerable nations risk falling even further behind, caught in a cycle of (G)_______ and ecological crisis. International climate finance, therefore, must evolve from lofty pledges to tangible outcomes.

Which of the following can replace blank (G) in the passage?

1. independent

2. rejection

3. dependency

4. chose

5. renew

Correct Answer : 3
Solution :

The sentence highlights the consequences of insufficient climate finance for vulnerable nations. The structure "a cycle of ___ and ecological crisis" suggests that the blank must be a noun that pairs logically and grammatically with "ecological crisis" and fits the idea of being trapped in a repeated, worsening situation. The sentence warns that a lack of support could lead to worsening financial or structural challenges.

Option (a): This is an adjective, not a noun, so it does not fit grammatically. Also, being "independent" contradicts the idea of being "caught in a cycle," which implies reliance or entrapment. This option is incorrect.

Option (b): "Rejection" is a noun, but it doesn't logically pair with "ecological crisis" to form a meaningful or cohesive "cycle of rejection and ecological crisis." Rejection of what? The context doesn't support this term. This option is incorrect.

Option (c): "Dependency" is a noun and fits perfectly both grammatically and contextually. It refers to a situation where these nations become increasingly reliant on external aid or systems, especially in the absence of consistent climate financing. It pairs well with "ecological crisis" to describe a vicious cycle. This option is correct.

Option (d): "Chose" is the past tense of a verb, not a noun, so it cannot grammatically fill the blank. It also makes no contextual sense in the phrase "cycle of chose and ecological crisis." This option is incorrect.

Option (e): "Renew" is a verb, and cannot grammatically serve as a noun in this construction. A cycle of "renew" makes no meaningful sense in context. This option is incorrect.

Hence, option (c) is the answer.
