Question

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.

________________________ was the salesman’s tool, and he used his forcefulness to ________________ people to buy his products.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The first blank requires a noun that describes the salesman’s main tool or characteristic. "Vehemence" means forcefulness or intensity, which fits well with the description of a salesman’s approach.

2. The second blank needs a verb that indicates persuading or influencing people to buy products. "Convince" means to persuade someone to do something, which is appropriate here.

3. Other options do not fit the context:
   - "Obligatory" means mandatory, which does not describe a tool.
   - "Coerce" means to force someone, which is close but less suitable than "convince" in a sales context.
   - "Hegemony" means dominance, which is not a tool.
   - "Extort" means to obtain by force or threats, which is inappropriate.
   - "Liberty" means freedom, which does not fit.
   - "Impulse" is a noun, but the blank requires a verb.
   - "Noxiousness" means harmfulness, which is unrelated.
   - "Cherish" means to hold dear, which contradicts the context.

**Answer:** (e) Vehemence, convince
