Question

In each question, two words are omitted and replaced with blanks. Choose the correct pair of words from the given options that can fit into the blanks in the respective order without changing the intended meaning:

Lord Krishna’s legitimate ___________________ was Rukmini, daughter of the king of Berar; but Radha is always ____________________ with him in his temples.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The first blank requires a word that means a lawful or rightful partner, especially in marriage. Among the options, **"consort"** fits best as it means spouse or companion, particularly of a monarch.

2. The second blank describes someone who is always connected or linked with Lord Krishna in temples. The word **"associated"** correctly conveys this meaning.

3. Other options do not fit both blanks appropriately:
   - "betroth" is a verb meaning to promise to marry, which does not fit as a noun in the first blank.
   - "kin" means relatives, which is not suitable here.
   - "believer" and "heathen" do not fit the context of relationship or companionship.

**Answer:** (b) consort, associated
