Question -
(I) Some of the employees, in their_____ to win the business of wealthy Americans with a _____ for fibbing to the taxman, seem to have confused discretion with spy craft. (II) There will always be some employees with the _____ to pursue profits with minimal regard for larger social consequences; however, this _____ need not be fashionable.
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)The most appropriate set of words that appropriately fit in the context of the paragraph is "zeal, predilection". "Zeal" is a noun which means great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective. Moreover, "predilection" is a noun which means a preference or special liking for something; a bias in favour of something. Since, all the other sets of words fail to form a comprehensive sentence, option (a) becomes the most suitable answer choice. Animosity means strong hostility. Antipathy means a deep-seated feeling of aversion. Sloth means reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness. Propensity means an inclination or natural tendency to behave in a particular way.
