Ravi remembers the year when there was a ________ flood.
EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Aravage
- Bdevastating
- Csalubrious
- Dameliorative
Explanation
The sentence is 'there was a ________ flood'. The blank needs an adjective describing a destructive flood. 'Devastating' (B) means highly destructive, correctly collocating with 'flood'. 'Ravage' (a) is a verb/noun, not an adjective. 'Salubrious' (c) means health-giving (opposite), and 'ameliorative' (d) means improving (opposite). A flood that is remembered would be devastating. Therefore option B is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers.
