The Federation of Andhra Pradesh Industries has expressed concern at the _____ financial situation and has threatened to launch an agitation if the government does not extend concessions.

(A) exacerbating

(B) deteriorating

(C) rising

(D) diminishing

(E) receding

(F) escalating

Correct Answer is (b).The Federation will not express concern if the financial situation is 'escalating' or 'rising'. Hence choices (A) and (C) can be eliminated. 'Receding' is generally used with reference to water - receding floods, receding coastline etc. 'Diminish' is used in connection with strength or power. Hence the most appropriate word for the first blank is 'deteriorating' and 'exacerbating'.
