Question

There is a sentence that is missing in the paragraph below. Look at the paragraph and decide in which blank (option 1, 2, 3, or 4) the following sentence would best fit.
Sentence: Most were first-time users of a tablet and a digital app.
Paragraph: Aage Badhein’s USP lies in the ethnographic research that constituted the foundation of its development process. Customizations based on learning directly from potential users were critical to making this self-paced app suitable for both a literate and non-literate audience. ____(1)____ The user interface caters to a Hindi-speaking audience who have minimal to no experience with digital services and devices. ____(2)____ The content and functionality of the app are suitable for a wide audience. This includes youth preparing for an independent role in life or a student ready to create a strong foundation of financial management early in her life. ____(3)____ Household members desirous of improving their family’s financial strength to reach their aspirations can also benefit. We piloted Aage Badhein in early 2021 with over 400 women from rural areas. ____(4)____ The digital solution generated a large amount of interest in the communities.

• A. Option 1
• B. Option 2
• C. Option 3
• D. Option 4

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine where the sentence "Most were first-time users of a tablet and a digital app." fits best in the paragraph, we need to look for context clues that align with the information in the sentence. The paragraph discusses the development and purpose of the Aage Badhein app, emphasizing its adaptability for literate and non-literate users and its initial deployment results. The missing sentence suggests a focus on the users' technological inexperience, which aligns perfectly with the sentence that mentions piloting the app with over 400 women from rural areas. Here is why it fits in Option 4: 

1. The paragraph initially talks about the app's ethnographic research and customization, making it suitable for various literacy levels (context for diverse user experience).
2. The user interface is described as being accessible to a Hindi-speaking audience with minimal digital experience, setting up the context for introducing first-time users.
3. The content benefits are stated for youth and students, indicating broad utility, but not directly addressing user tech experience.
4. The segue into piloting results (Option 4) is logical, as it discusses reaching the rural audience and their interaction, making it the best place for the sentence about first-time users.

Thus, inserting the sentence "Most were first-time users of a tablet and a digital app." in Option 4 enriches the narrative of the app's real-world impact and adoption by highlighting the newness of technology to its intended audience.

Correct Answer:

Option 4
