Fill Blanks

Question:

In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank.

Wise managers _________ opinions, get information, ask advice, act ________ and know the art of __________ responsibilities to the subordinates.

Options:

condemn, transnationally, elevating

solicit, transparently, delegating

coerce, translucently, relegating

entrust, transiently, accelerating

Correct Answer:

solicit, transparently, delegating

Explanation:

The correct options to fill in the blanks are: Wise managers **solicit** opinions, get information, ask advice, act **transparently** and know the art of **delegating** responsibilities to the subordinates.

Explanation:
- "Solicit" means to ask for or seek opinions, advice, or information. This fits the context of wise managers seeking input from others.
- "Transparently" means in a clear, open, and honest manner. It aligns with the idea of acting openly and honestly.
- "Delegating" means assigning tasks or responsibilities to others. It fits the context of managers assigning tasks to their subordinates.

The other options don't make as much sense in this context:

    • Condemn means to express strong disapproval, which is the opposite of what wise managers do.
    • Transnationally refers to across nations, which isn't relevant to the core qualities of wise managers.
    • Elevating could be interpreted as promoting, but "delegating" is more specific to assigning tasks.
    • Coerce means to force someone to do something, which is not how a wise manager would operate.
    • Translucently means allowing light to pass through partially, which doesn't have a clear meaning in this context.
    • Relegating can mean to assign something unimportant, whereas wise managers delegate important tasks as well.
    • Accelerating means to speed up, which isn't directly related to the core qualities described.
