Question:

Replace the following underlined words with a foreign word, from the list given below.

In some advanced nations economic decisions are made free from government interference.

Options:

Lacuna

Leitmotif

Laissez faire

Locus standi

Correct Answer:

Laissez faire

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 1 - Laissez-faire.

The best option to replace the underlined words is Laissez-faire.

Lacuna means "a missing part or gap." This doesn't quite fit the meaning of the sentence, as we're not talking about something missing, but rather something being absent.
Leitmotif is a recurring theme or idea.
Locus standi refers to the legal right to bring a case to court.
Laissez-faire is a French term that literally means "allow to do." It's used to describe an economic system in which the government does not interfere with the free market. This is a perfect fit for the sentence, as it describes a situation where economic decisions are made without government involvement.
