Directions (21-26) : Given below is a paragraph that has blank spaces. Corresponding to each blank, five options are given, out of which only one is appropriate. Choose the option that fits most suitably in the given blank making sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
Gaseous refinery __________________(21) include hydrogen, fuel gas, ethane, propane, and butane. Most of the hydrogen is __________________(22) in refinery desulfurization facilities, which remove hydrogen sulfide from the gas stream and then separate that compound into elemental hydrogen and sulfur; small quantities of the hydrogen may be delivered to the refinery fuel system. Refinery fuel gas varies in composition but usually contains a __________________(23) amount of methane; it has a heating value similar to natural gas and is consumed in plant operations. The drawback is that periodic variability in heating value makes it __________________(24) for delivery to consumer gas systems. Ethane may be __________________(25) from the refinery fuel system for use as a petrochemical feedstock. In many cases, these operations take place in relatively remote regions and affect only those employed by the industry, so that little or no __________________(26) is attempted.
Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank 25.

Incorrect Answerworn out
Incorrect Answerconsumed
Incorrect Answerdepleted
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- The paragraph discusses gaseous refinery components and their uses in industrial processes.
- Blank 21: The options would range from gases typically present in a refinery.
- Blank 22: This blank needs a verb related to the use or processing of hydrogen.
- Blank 23: Requires a descriptive word indicating the amount of methane.
- Blank 24: Needs an adjective describing why the gas is not easily deliverable.
- Blank 25: This is about the extraction or utilization of ethane.
- Exhausted and Depleted imply using up completely.
- Consumed suggests being used up.
- Worn out is not typically used for gases.
- Recovered implies retrieving something from a mixture or process.
- Blank 26: Needs an activity based on the context of affecting regions without interaction.
The context of Blank 25 indicates that ethane is being taken out or extracted from refinery fuel systems for further use. This makes Option 3: Recovered the best fit.
