Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:
The school organised a cancer awareness programme in ____with AIIMS.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → collaboration
Collaboration means working together with another person or organisation to do something. The school and AIIMS ran the programme jointly; the fixed phrase is "in collaboration with".
Example: The film was made in collaboration with a French studio.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: corroboration — Incorrect. Corroboration means evidence that supports or confirms a statement. (Corroboration and collaboration sound alike: to corroborate is to confirm, to collaborate is to work together.)
Example: The police needed corroboration of the witness's story.
Option 3: consensus — Incorrect. Consensus means general agreement among a group; "in consensus with AIIMS" is not used for organising something together.
Example: The committee reached a consensus on the new rules.
Option 4: consensual — Incorrect. Consensual is an adjective meaning done with everyone's agreement; after "in" the blank needs a noun.
Example: The decision was consensual.
