In the question given below, a sentence is given with two blanks, followed by five options, each having words or phrases which may or may not fit in the blank. From the given options, choose the one that gives the correct words/phrases that fit in the blank.
Psychotherapy and medications are vital to the long-term treatment of serious mental illnesses, but they may not help someone _____________ risk of dying and who has ______________ antidepressant medicines.
1.at imminent, not responded to
2.facing an immediate, responded to
3.at distant, not been affected by
4.at low, shown positive response towards
5.instantly, not reacted positively to
Correct Answer : 1
Solution :
The sentence talks about 'Psychotherapy and medications' being long-term treatments for mental illnesses. The sentence also uses the connector 'but' (used to introduce contrast). The latter part of the sentence (the one with blanks) must be in contrast to the former part of the sentence. Since 'psychotherapy and medications' are long-term treatments, these might be helpful in cases in which the patient's health remains stable. But someone on his/her deathbed might not respond to these methods and more so if the patients haven't responded to these treatments in the past. These conditions are satisfied by option a) only. Hence, a) is the correct answer.
The phrase for the second blank in option B whereas the phrases for the first blank in options C and D convey the opposite of what is intended while the phrases in option E changed the meaning of the sentence altogether.
Imminent: ready to take place, happening soon.
