Answers with explanation..

1. In [1], 'oppressive' fits the first blank, but 'partisan' which meanspartialtowards a specificpartyorperson
does not fit the second. In [3], 'repressive' fits the
first blank, but 'permissive ' meaning too tolerant or
lenient is contrary to the meaning of the statement,
which intends to convey that the individual in ques-
tion was treated unfairly. In [4], 'malignant' meaning
hateful or evil does not fit the first blank, though 'un-
fathomable treatment' meaning 'incomprehensible
treatment' looks plausible in the second blank. Once
again, in [5], 'unbearable' as a description ofthe heat
isplausible,but'detrimentaltreatment'makesnosense
in the context. However, in [2], 'scorching' meaning
blistering or burning, fits the description of 'heat' in
the first blank, and 'step-motherly' meaning biased
or unfair, fits the second blank. Hence, [2].

2. In [1],'pay off' which means to settle a debt or
obligation, does not fit the first blank, and nor does
'conclusion' fit the second blank. In [2], 'redeem'
meaning to recover by payment or to discharge or
fulfil does not fit the first blank, though 'accusations'would fit the second blank. In [3], though 'revenge'
is fine in the first blank, 'pointers' meaning pieces of
advice does notfit into the second blank since advice
cannot be 'nasty'. In [5], 'condemn' in the first blank
makes no sense.Also, one does notmake 'fabrications'
in court. However, [4] is correct. 'Avenge', meaning
to 'take vengeance for', fits the first blank, while 'in-
sinuations' meaning 'derogatory suggestions' fits the
second blank. Hence, [4].

3. In [1], 'maniacs' fits the first blank, however, 'appro-
priate'takes the preposition 'for' and not'to' and thus
cannotfitthe second blank. In [2], 'heretics' meaning
people whose opinions contradict Church teachings,
fits the first blank, but 'averse' meaning 'reluctant'
or 'unwilling' does not fit the second - it creates a
contradiction in meaning within the sentence. In [3],
'conditioned to damnation' makes no sense. In [5],
'atheists' is plausible, but'antitheticalto damnation'
meaning 'opposed/contrary to damnation' creates a
contradiction within the sentence justlike in [2]. But
[4] is correct. 'Reprobates' meaning 'wicked or
depraved people'fits the first blank and 'predestined'
meaning 'ordained in advance' fits the second blank.
Hence, [4].
