Fill in the blank(s) with the correct word(s).
Women face greater constraints in geographic mobility _______ by safety concerns or social norms.
Correct option - 1
Let's find out the meaning of the following words:-
Foisted - impose an unwelcome or unnecessary person or thing on someone.
Persistent - continuing firmly or strongly in an opinion or course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.
Chuckled - laugh quietly or inwardly.
Fervently - very enthusiastically or passionately.
Arduously - involving in something difficult and tiring.
Now, with reference to the context, word 'persistent', 'chuckled' and 'fervently' are out of context. Hence, options 2, 3 & 4 are eliminated. Now, women do not involve in social norms or safety concerns. These are being imposed upon them. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. Thus, option 1 i.e. foisted is the correct answer.
