Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: cultivate


Solution : The most appropriate choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The sentence structure and context imply that the farmer was able to grow paddy in the Rabi season due to the government's project ensuring a full village tank (which likely supports irrigation).

Option 1: these

Option 2: when

Option 3: which

Option 4: those

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: which


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

"Which" is used here to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the preceding noun, in this case, the seven lakhs earned from selling cotton. It connects the fact of selling the cotton for seven lakhs to the farmer's intention for the money—funding his daughter's studies. The use of "which" smoothly links these two pieces of information.
