The following question consists of a sentence with two blanks. You are given five options, each containing two words. Choose the option containing words which fill the respective blanks correctly, making the sentence meaningfully complete.
_________ data of past years using 2011-12 as the base year instead of 2004-05, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) estimated that India's GDP grew by 8.5 percent in the financial year 2010-11 (April 2010 to March 2011) and not at 10.3 percent as _________ estimated.
Worsening, once
Improving, currently
Fixing up, later
Recalibrating, previously
Since the data has been ‘corrected’ by the CSO, thus ‘recalibrating’ is the correct word. Since the amendments are made to the data given ‘earlier’, ‘previously’ fills the second blank appropriately.
Recalibrate- make something right
Mortify- cause (someone) to feel very embarrassed or ashamed
Option 4 is the correct answer.
