In the Below passage there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. Find out the appropriate option in each case to replace the given numbers.

Comprehension:
This particular scepticism of the reach of reasoning (I)____________ not yield - nor (as Appiah makes clear) is it intended to yield - any ground for not using reason to the extent one can, in (II)___________ the idea of justice or any other notion of social relevance, such as identity. Nor does it undermine the case for our trying to persuade each other to scrutinize our respective conclusions. It is also important to note that what may appear to others as clear examples of 'unreason' may not always be exactly that. Reasoned discussion can accommodate conflicting positions that may appear to others to be 'unreasoned' prejudice, without this being quite the case. There is no compulsion, as is sometimes (III)___________ to eliminate every reasoned alternative except exactly one.

Question 50

Pick the appropriate replacement for (III)

Solution

The final sentence suggests an general belief about something in a passive form. In such instance base form of the verb +ed is used, generally in past tense. Which would be option C. 

Options A, B and D are in different tenses and would be grammatically inappropriate to place in the blank. 

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
