Question

“I cannot support this proposal. My ______ will not permit it.”

• A. conscious
• B. consensus
• C. conscience
• D. consent

Hint:

When filling blanks in context-based questions, check whether the word refers to individual moral reasoning, group agreement, awareness, or permission — this helps eliminate confusing similar words.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: The sentence implies a moral or ethical reason for not supporting the proposal. The word required should relate to inner moral sense.
Step 2: Option (A) \textit{conscious} means being awake or aware, which does not fit the context.
Step 3: Option (B) \textit{consensus} means general agreement, which is collective, not individual, hence incorrect.
Step 4: Option (C) \textit{conscience} means moral sense of right and wrong, which perfectly fits the sentence.
Step 5: Option (D) \textit{consent} means permission, which is not applicable here.
Thus, the correct word is \textit{conscience}.
