Direction: The following question carries a statement with two blanks. From the given options, choose the option that would fit in both the blanks to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful.
Despite inflicting ____________ on the ‘Other’ for generations, the white people of specific ethnic and religious backgrounds are ___________ up about soon becoming the electoral minority in the regions they currently dominate because of immigration, both legal and illegal, and differing fertility rates among the relevant groups.
Damage
Bruises
Wound
Triggered
None of the above.
Wound: to hurt the feelings of someone; upset. In this sense, ‘wound’ fits in the first blank to denote the damages caused by the white people. Wound up: very worried, nervous, or angry. In this sense, the word ‘wound’ fits perfectly in the second blank, which is followed by the preposition ‘up’, to complete the phrase ‘wound up’, expressing the anxiety of the white people at being slowly replaced. Damage: cause harm. This makes it an appropriate filler for the first blank only. Bruises: Injuries. In this sense, it fits in the first blank, but not in the second. Triggered: Agitated. While it may seem appropriate for the second blank, the preposition ‘up’ following the blank will make it contextually incorrect. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
