For each of the questions 13 to 16, select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.

In India educational subsidies are __________: directors of just any colleges can get advanced from the government against project receipts, even though most such loans are never fully repaid.

(A) steady
(B) infrequent
(C) omnipresent
(D) sporadic
(E) ubiquitous


Answer: (C) (E)

Explanation: Omnipresent means widely or constantly encountered. The colon signals that the second part of the sentence provides the example of the first part. Sporadic means occurring at irregular intervals, which coveys totally opposite meaning when kept in the blank.

So, option (C) and (E) are correct.
