Question 111

English Vocabulary Hard

<p><strong>Choose the set of words from among the alternatives given, which when inserted in the sentence, best suits the meaning of the sentence</strong></p> <p>The _______ of evidence was on the side of the plaintiff since all but one witness&nbsp;testified that&nbsp;his story was ____</p>

(A) paucity, accurate
(B) prosperity, far-fetched
(C) preponderance, correct&nbsp;
(D) accuracy, insufficient
✓ Correct Answer: Option C Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

"All but one witness" supported the plaintiff, so most of the evidence was on his side. That is a preponderance (greater amount or weight) of evidence, and the witnesses said his story was correct.

"Paucity" means scarcity, which contradicts "all but one".

Answer: (C) preponderance, correct
