Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.
The ___ towards the school was very steep.
Option 1: Assent
Option 2: Accent
Option 3: Ascent
Option 4: Ascend
Correct Answer: Ascent
Solution : The third option is the correct answer since ''ascent'', which refers to the act of climbing or going upward on an upward slope, fits perfectly in the sentence describing the steep upward path leading to the school.
The options ''assent'' means 'to give approval', ''accent'' means "a distinctive way of pronouncing a word", and " ascend" is the verb form of ' 'ascent''. These options do not fit contextually in the sentence.
So, the complete sentence is "The ascent towards the school was very steep".
