Most auto-rickshaw drivers in the city __________ to ply for short distances since doing so does not ________ them much.

Question

Accepted Answer

1. Understand the meaning: The sentence says most auto-rickshaw drivers do not want to operate for short distances because doing so does not give them much in return.

2. Fit the first blank: A verb meaning "decline" or "are unwilling" is required. "Refuse" exactly conveys unwillingness to ply for short distances.

3. Fit the second blank: A verb meaning "bring them money" is required. "Earn" correctly expresses that short trips do not produce much income.

4. Reconstructed sentence: "Most auto-rickshaw drivers in the city refuse to ply for short distances since doing so does not earn them much." This is grammatically and logically coherent.
