Question

In each of the following sentences there are two blank spaces. Below each five pairs of words have been denoted by numbers (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). Find out which pair of words can be filled up in the blanks in the sentences in the same sequence to make the sentence meaningfully complete.

You must __________ your house in order before you __________ to offer advice to others.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "set your house in order" is a common idiom meaning to organize or arrange your affairs properly.

2. The second blank requires a verb that means to undertake or begin something, especially something risky or daring. "Venture" fits this meaning well.

3. Other options either do not fit the idiomatic expression or do not convey the intended meaning in the second blank.

4. Therefore, the pair "set, venture" correctly completes the sentence:

"You must **set** your house in order before you **venture** to offer advice to others."

**Answer:** (b) set, venture
