Explanation:

For blank I, A is not correct since the implication is that the said hospital gives service to 15 lakhs people residing in the village and by this logic caters is the right choice in this context.

Coming to Blank II, the context is that there are plastic cups all around the park in the premises of the Rewari Civil Hospital. Among the given words, B can actually mean that the park is full of plastic cups and other garbage.

For blank III, it is clear from the given context that the person was not earning enough and that is why he had to supplement his income with income from other sources. B cannot imply this sense whereas A is correct in order to imply the intended meaning.

Blank IV should be filled with A since we are talking about supporting the income of the person from the other sources and B will not fit in this context.

For blank V, we should go with B since it correctly explains the intended meaning of the author that the mindset revolves around patriarchy in the state of Haryana.

This makes the correct combination as BBAAB

Hence, option B is the correct choice among the given options.
