    Find the appropriate word for blank 2.

    Give major tangible gains

    Correct Answer

    Produce a quandary

    Incorrect Answer

    Have prurient changes

    Incorrect Answer

    Be puerile significantly

    Incorrect Answer

    Have a static imposition

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Correct Answer is (a).The sentence makes it clear that the blank must convey a positive meaning as it should convey what has been failed to achieve thus the word 'tangible' which means 'substantial' fits here. The word ‘gains’ too helps to choose the correct answer. The word 'quandary' means 'a state of perplexity or uncertainty over what to do in a difficult situation' and makes no sense here. The word 'prurient' means 'characterized by lust' and is irrelevant here. The word 'puerile' means 'childishly silly and immature' and is incorrect here. The word 'static' means 'remaining the same' and is not apt here. Thus option A is the correct answer.
