Answer 2

Fill in the blanks

If the speed of the wind in the tropical depression must exceed, then it is .assigned... a personal name  and gets .upgraded... to a 'tropical storm'.

Explanation:

• The given sentence comprises a pair of conditional clauses one dependent on the other.
• The second clause 'then it is .... a personal name  and gets .... to a 'tropical storm'.' has two blanks; in the first blank a verb in its passive form-the past participle has to be filled in due to the presence of the auxiliary verb 'is'.
• Among the given options C and D are the only pairs with past participles- 'elevated and assigned'.
• The word 'elevated' means to 'lift up'. It does not suit the blank.
• The next one is 'assigned' which means 'specifically allotted or given'. This is the most appropriate as the blank refers to a word that conveys the meaning 'given'.
• The word 'upgraded' means uplifted or raised. It suits the second blank as it refers to the status of the tropical storm being raised.
• Hence 'D- assigned, upgraded' is the right option.
