Each sentence given in the questions has two blanks, each blank indicating that somethings has been omitted. Beneath the sentence are four sets of words. Choose the set of words for each blank that best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
The Tata group will need all its considerable management ………. And ……….. to manage tough challenges ahead after taking over Corus Steel.
Explanation
In a business context, "management" is frequently paired with words that describe professional wisdom or depth.
-
Acumen: This refers to the ability to make good judgments and take quick decisions, which is essential for "tough challenges."
-
Onus: This refers to a responsibility or duty.
However, looking at standard corporate English, "acumen" fits the first blank perfectly. While (d) is a possibility in marketing, (c) provides the most professional "management" fit for a high-stakes takeover scenario.
Final Answer: The correct option is (c) acumen... onus.
