The following question consists of one blank only. You are given six choices and you have to choose any two of them, either of which will make the sentence meaningful. The Central and Assam governments have controlled the influx and ____________ of immigrants from Bangladesh, but they failed. A. Inundation B. Render C. Admission D. Determination E. Localization F. Outburst

The correct answer is 2. The blank is preceded by the conjunction ‘and’ and the word is ‘influx’. This means that a word that has a similar meaning to ‘influx’ must be used. Influx means an arrival or entry of large numbers of people or things. Both ‘inundation’ and ‘admission’ are the synonyms of the word ‘influx’. Let us look at the meanings of the other words. Render means to provide or give, Determination means firmness of purpose, Localization means the process of making something local, and Outburst means a sudden release of strong emotions.
