Choose the word that best fits in with the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
The Quaid’s _____ enthusiasm led the Muslims Indo-Pak to independence.
- A
Simplified
- B
Latent
- C
Onerous
- D
Threatening
Latent means hidden and can be used to describe enthusiasm.
Onerous means a great deal of effort, trouble, or difficulty. Threatening describes a sense of danger. Latent is the only suitable term.
Simplified enthusiasm doesn't make sense as enthusiasm isn't meant to be simple.
Latent means hidden and so B is the best answer as enthusiasm can be hidden.
Onerous means burdensome- burdensome enthusiasm isn't correct as they are contradictory.
Threatening enthusiasm also isn't applicable here as both are contradictory to each other.
