Question

Though she ________________________that someone had broken into her home, the police found no proof to support the woman’s ______________________claim.

In each question two words are missing. Find a pair of words from the given options that can fit into the blanks without altering the intended meaning.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The first blank requires a word that means 'claimed' or 'stated without proof'. The word **'alleged'** fits perfectly here as it means something claimed to be true but not yet proven.

2. The second blank needs a word that describes the claim as being asserted but not confirmed. **'Purported'** means something that is claimed or supposed, which matches the context.

3. Other options do not fit logically:
   - (a) 'frightened' and 'grumpy' do not relate to claims.
   - (c) 'level' and 'believed' do not fit the grammatical or contextual sense.
   - (d) 'referred' and 'fueled' do not suit the meaning.
   - (e) 'angst' and 'hysterical' are emotions, not related to claims.

**Answer:** (b) alleged, purported
