CLOZE TEST

PREPARATORY SET-08 (NEW PATTERN)

Direction (Qs.1 to 10): In the following passage there are blanks, each of which has been numbered and one word has been suggested alongside the blank. These numbers are given below the passage and against each, five options are given. In four options, one word is suggested in each option. Find out the appropriate word which fits the blank appropriately. If the word written alongside the blank fits the passage, choose option ‘5’ (No correction required) as the correct choice.

 

Accenture, advertorial, jeggings. The competition for ugliest portmanteau is combative (1). Few constructions, though, can match “bleisure” for abuse (2). For the uninitiated, the word is a alloy (3) of business and prosperity (4). But ugly as it is, exists for a reason, the practice of adding a few days of pleasure (5) to a work trip is becoming increasingly popular.

 

The latest research to bear this out was recalled (6) this week by the Global Business Travel Association.  Its review (7) of North American business travellers found that 37% had extended a work trip to include some leisure since (8) the past year. This, typically, might mean stretching a break in a city into the weekend, possibly shipping in the family to join the fun. Often, such travellers will stay in the same hotel for the duration, making up the extra cost themselves.

 

Interestingly, the older the travellers the less likely they are to do this. While 48% of 18-34- year-olds in the GBTA survey said they had taken a leisure trip, only 33% of travellers aged 35-54 and 23% of over 55s did. The researchers could not be sure why the dispute (9) occur, but a few reasons suggest themselves. First, younger worker are probably more likely to still see business travel as exotic and exciting (10).
