Fill in the blank(s) with appropriate word/ words.
As ......... head of the organisation, he attendedsocial functions andcivil meetings, but had no ........ in the formulation of companypolicy.
Let us see the meaning of the given words Word |
Meaning |
Titular | Holding or constituting a purely formal position or title without any real authority. |
Hypothetical | being or involving a hypothesis. Hypothesis is a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. |
Nominal | (of a role or status) Existing in name only |
While ‘titular’, ‘former’ and ‘nominal’ are possible options for
the first blank, ‘competition’ is totally out of context for the second
blank.
Now we are down to two choices, (B) or (D). One does not ‘have pride’ but ‘takes pride’ in the formulation of company policy.
Moreover, the sentence subtly indicates a non-appreciative tone in reference to the head of the organization.
Hence, option (D) would fit the blank.
