Question:

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:-


Only those who have scored above 90% in the entrance exam are ………… to apply for this post.

Options:

selected

suitable

eligible

elected

Correct Answer:

eligible

Explanation:

The correct option to fill in the blanks is eligible.

The sentence is about the eligibility criteria for applying for a post. The word "eligible" means qualified or fit to be chosen. It is the most appropriate word to use in this context, as it describes the requirement of scoring above 90% in the entrance exam to be eligible to apply for the post.

The other options are not as appropriate:

  • Selected means chosen or picked out. It is not accurate to use "selected" in this context, as the people who have scored above 90% in the entrance exam have not yet been selected for the post.
  • Suitable means right or appropriate for a particular purpose. It is not as appropriate as "eligible", as it does not convey the same sense of qualification or fitness.
  • Elected means chosen by voting. It is not accurate to use "elected" in this context, as the people who have scored above 90% in the entrance exam have not yet been elected for the post.
