Question

Holding simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and State Assembly may have larger ______ , but there is a ______ that it could disadvantage regional parties.

• A. Ramifications, complexion
• B. Impact, synthesis
• C. Benefits, perception
• D. Beginning, problem

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the given statement with blanks effectively, we need to understand the context provided: "Holding simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and State Assembly may have larger ______ , but there is a ______ that it could disadvantage regional parties."

We need to fill the blanks with the most suitable words that align with the statement contextually. 

Let's examine the options:

• Ramifications, complexion: "Ramifications" refers to consequences, and "complexion" refers to appearance or nature. This combination doesn't fit well as it's not a logical match in context.
• Impact, synthesis: "Impact" refers to effect, and "synthesis" refers to combination or integration. While relevant, they don't match the context of possibly disadvantaging regional parties.
• Benefits, perception: "Benefits" relates to advantages or positive effects, matching well with "larger." "Perception" can refer to how something is viewed or potentially misunderstood, fitting with the risk of disadvantaging regional parties.
• Beginning, problem: This choice doesn't align well with the phrasing and sounds less coherent in this context.

Upon analyzing these options, the correct and most coherent fill would be "Benefits, perception":

"Holding simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and State Assembly may have larger Benefits, but there is a perception that it could disadvantage regional parties."

This selection appropriately reflects the mixed nature of potential outcomes from such elections and the perceived challenges they might present to regional parties.
