Question
Directions for questions 9 to 11: There are two blanks in each of the following sentences. From the pairs of words given below each sentence, choose the pair that fills the blanks most appropriately.The state government has decided to issue ______ notes to works contractors against their ______ bills for discounting it before financial institutions.contributory . . . actualpromissory . . . pendingdiscount . . . recentencashed . . . payment
Solution
The most appropriate pair of words to fill in the blanks in the sentence would be "promissory" and "pending". The sentence would read: "The state government has decided to issue promissory notes to works contractors against their pending bills for discounting it before financial institutions."
Here's why:
-
A promissory note is a financial instrument that contains a written promise by one party (the note's issuer or maker) to pay another party (the note's payee) a definite sum of money, either on demand or at a specified future date. This fits well in the context of the sentence.
-
The term "pending" refers to something that is awaiting decision or settlement. In this case, it refers to the bills of the works contractors that are yet to be settled. This also fits well in the context of the sentence.
The other options do not fit as well contextually.
