The swift move against the "accused" recovered that ebbing faith._________________

a. The Initial reaction to the expose of the cash-for-questions scandal had been refreshing reassuring.

b. Across party lines, there was disappointment, but also stem reactions, with statements made by party stalwarts that action would be taken against the MP's caught on camera receiving bribes.

c. What was disappointing was the lack of a knee-jerk denial.

d. Effectively, political parties were willing to start on the premise that the Ps might actually be guilty of corruption.

e. Some felt that it was an impulsive decision.

All the Best !!!

I think the answer should be option A as it continues the flow of thought in the sentence.

A seems to fit in best here though it is tough to eliminate D.

post the answer

[trustrajib]

This is my take..without thinking much..unlike the last one..
a) The Initial reaction to the expose of the cash-for-questions scandal had been refreshing reassuring.

My ans to medulla-PC4-3/7/2008-pg101

The sentence completing the paragraph should be some thing that adds to the meaning of the paragraph...
according to me, (a) doesn't seem too appropriate since it talks about the initial reaction, which , should have come at the beginning of the para.Also the phrase 'initial reaction' suggests, that what follows is the contrary to what was thought(i.e. initially it was tht that the MP's wud be arrested but it didn't happen that way).Hence 'a' is wrong.
(c) is -ve and out of context.
(b),(e) --are not relevant.
hence (d)--sounds more positive...and one of the steps towards the expulsion of the MP's.

My take option d as it seems a more logical continuation and not a which talks of initial reaction once the entire thing was sorted out.

A doesnt go wid da flow.... I d go for B

[anil.iitkgp]

B.................

Hi Puys,

This question was simple. And many of you the right answer.

@trustrajib.. I think not thinking too much works sometimes...

The answer is a.

Explanation: A continues the line of thought in the paragraphabout the kind of reaction to the issue. A reassuring reaction fits in with the swift move later on.

So this was "Continuation" type of para...

I have some more very good questions. Should i ppost them? or Puys want some other questions for a while? Let me know...
