Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. The most __________(i)__________ respect in which ideas have helped mankind is numbers. There must have been a time when homo sapiens was a very rare species, subsisting precariously in jungles and caves, terrified of wild beasts, having difficulty in securing nourishment. At this period the biological advantage of his greater intelligence, which was cumulative because it could be handed on from generation to generation, had scarcely begun to outweigh the disadvantages of his long infancy, his lessened __________(ii)__________ as compared with monkeys, and his lack of __________(iii)__________protection against cold. In those days, the number of men must certainly have been very small. The main use to which, throughout the ages, men have put their technical skill has been __________(iv)__________ the total population. I do not mean that this was the intention, but that it was, in fact, the effect. If this is something to rejoice in, then we have occasion to rejoice. 
In the above passage identify the missing words. The table below contains possible words for each blank. Choose one word from each column for the 4 blanks. 

The correct answer is:

Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. A language reveals the attitudes of the people who use and shape it. And a whole declension of __________(i)__________ terminology can be found in the language in which inter-racial relations have been described inside Britain. At first, we were told, the goal was 'integration'. Now this word rapidly came to mean __________(ii)__________ : a black man could only become integrated when he started behaving like a white one. After 'integration' came the __________(iii)__________of 'racial harmony'. Now once again, this sounded virtuous and desirable, but what it meant in practice was that blacks should be persuaded to live peaceably with whites, in spite of all the injustices done to them every day. The call for 'racial harmony' was simply an invitation to shut up and smile while nothing was done about our grievances. And now there's a new catchword: 'multiculturalism'. In our schools, this means little more than teaching the kids a few bongo rhythms, how to tie a sari and so forth. In the police training programme, it means telling cadets that black people are so 'culturally different' that they can't help making trouble. Multiculturalism is the latest token gesture towards Britain's blacks; and it ought to be exposed, like 'integration' and 'racial harmony', for the __________(iv)__________ it is.
