It is clear that the GST reform will lead to significant ___ A ___ in the economy in the short term. How short is the short term depends on how well the transition is planned, and how fast the economic agents will adjust to the new normal. The disruptions caused by demonetization continue to ___ B___ large parts of the unorganised economy even as the economy had been substantially remonetised. It is very difficult to predict the impact of such disruptions and the ___ C ___ they create. The power loom sector has considerably suffered on account of one disruption, and with different tax rates proposed to be levied on yarn, fabrics and readymade garments, Tamil Nadu manufacturers are at war. Transporters will soon find that the tax paid on fuel cannot be credited against the GST payable on the transportation services ___ D ___ by them. There are concerns about the rates of tax, mandated compliances and glitches in transition, and investment activity is virtually at a standstill, with everyone waiting to see how the reform pans. Even as the tax is about to be ___ E ___ , old decisions are changed and new decisions taken by the GST Council, and there is hardly any time to ___ F ___ them. The government could have used the time until September to provide greater clarity and test the technology through some ___G ___ runs to ensure a smoother transition.
B
shamble
exist
covet
haunt
shackle
Correct Answer is (d).As the verb ‘shamble’ which refers to ‘moving with a slow, shuffling, awkward gait’ is an intransitive one, the object ‘large parts of unorganized economy’ after it would be absurd and hence the verb is not suitable for the blank. The verb ‘exist’ should assume the preposition ‘in’ after it but as the preposition ‘in’ is missing in the sentence, usage of ‘exist’ would not be appropriate in the context of the passage. The verb ‘covet’ which refers to ‘yearn to possess’ would be absolutely illogical, if used for the blank. The verb ‘shackle’ means ‘to restrain or to limit’ and use of it for the blank doesn’t add any meaning to the context. Clearly, the word ‘haunt’ which refers to ‘persistently disturbing a situation’ seems to fit the blank most appropriately. Option D is hence the correct answer.
