Find the appropriate word for blank 4.
Big blow of the
Severe hit on the
Insurgent activities
Obfuscate into the
Pallid situation of the
Correct Answer is (b).The word 'pallid' means 'pale' and makes no sense here. The sentence talks about the huge loss that had been inflicted on the economy thus the word 'severe' which means 'acute or grave' fits here correctly. The word 'insurgent' means 'against the government' and does not make sense here. The word 'obfuscate' means 'make obscure or unclear' and does not fit here. Thus option B makes sense here. ‘Severe hit’ means ‘a tremendous loss for the informal economy.’
