In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank in it, followed by five words labeled (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5). Choose the word that fills the blank appropriately in the context of the passage. "As technological ingenuity accelerates exponentially, humanity stands poised at an inflection point, wherein virtual realms [1]_____rival the tangible world in complexity and significance." Choose correct verb form.[1] (निम्नलिखित प्रश्न में, एक वाक्य में रिक्त स्थान दिया गया है, इसके बाद पांच शब्द [1], [2], [3], [4], और [5] दिए गए हैं। गद्यांश के संदर्भ में रिक्त स्थान को उपयुक्त रूप से भरने वाला शब्द चुनें। "As technological ingenuity accelerates exponentially, humanity stands poised at an inflection point, wherein virtual realms [1]_____rival the tangible world in complexity and significance." सही क्रिया रूप चुनें।[1])
The subject "virtual realms" is plural, requiring the plural verb form "are beginning to". (विषय "virtual realms" बहुवचन है, जिसके लिए बहुवचन क्रिया रूप "are beginning to" की आवश्यकता है।)
In the same passage, choose best structure for the sentence: "While proponents of VR herald it as the progenitor of a post-physical civilization, skeptics caution that overreliance on synthetic environments [2] ___ human agency and fragment collective identity." (उसी गद्यांश में, वाक्य के लिए सबसे अच्छी संरचना चुनें: "While proponents of VR herald it as the progenitor of a post-physical civilization, skeptics caution that overreliance on synthetic environments [2] ___ human agency and fragment collective identity.")
The subject "overreliance" pairs with a plural-agreeing verb form in this compound predicate context; "erode" fits the sentence structure appropriately. (विषय "overreliance" इस संयुक्त विधेय संदर्भ में क्रिया रूप के साथ जुड़ता है; "erode" वाक्य संरचना में उचित रूप से फिट बैठता है।)
In the same passage, choose the appropriate tense: "whether modality predominates in shaping the next civilization, the imperative to cultivate critical consciousness [4]___" (उसी गद्यांश में, उपयुक्त काल चुनें: "whether modality predominates in shaping the next civilization, the imperative to cultivate critical consciousness [4]___")

(4)/ (वाक्य के उस भाग को खोजें जिसमें त्रुटि है: The committee debated [1]/ whether the proposed measures [2]/ were adequate enough [3]/ to meet long-term energy goals. [4]/)
"Adequate enough" is redundant since both words mean sufficient; part (3) contains the error. ("Adequate enough" अनावश्यक है क्योंकि दोनों शब्दों का अर्थ पर्याप्त है; भाग [3] में त्रुटि है।)
Find the part of the sentence that contains an error: Had the memorandum been clearer, (1)/ the committee might have postponed (2)/ or even cancel (3)/ the meeting for further deliberation. (4) (वाक्य के उस भाग को खोजें जिसमें त्रुटि है: Had the memorandum been clearer, [1]/ the committee might have postponed [2]/ or even cancel [3]/ the meeting for further deliberation. [4])
"Cancel" should be "cancelled" to maintain parallel structure with "postponed"; part (3) contains the error. (समांतर संरचना "postponed" के साथ बनाए रखने के लिए "cancel" को "cancelled" होना चाहिए; भाग [3] में त्रुटि है।)
