To complete the text with the most appropriate words from the box, we'll approach this sentence by sentence and fill in the blanks with necessary words, possibly changing their forms where needed.
(a) An obligation to do something which
(b) is good for the society in which the person
(c) lives . When the people of a society are
(d) assigned to their responsibilities, the society becomes more
(e) concerned . People can live peacefully and
(f) happily . On the other hand, if the people of a
(g) society are careless about their responsibilities,
(h) the society becomes devoid of peace and amenity. So, for our
(i) society's sake we need to be
(j) responsible .
Let's go over these choices step-by-step:
(a) "An": The word "obligation" is a singular noun that needs an article, thus "an" as it begins with a vowel sound.
(b) "is": The verb "to be" needs to be in the form "is" to agree with the singular noun "obligation."
(c) "lives": The subject "the person" is singular, so the verb "live" should be in the form "lives."
(d) "assigned": The word "assigned" fits here as people are given responsibilities, which can also be interpreted as a commitment towards those responsibilities.
(e) "concerned": This fills the blank to reflect a society that cares and fulfills its duties.
(f) "happily": The adverb form is used here to describe the manner in which people can live.
(g) "society": The singular form of "society" is used here again since the text references the same society previously discussed.
(h) "the": The definite article "the" is appropriate before "society," referring back to the previously mentioned society.
(i) "society's": The genitive form indicates possession, referring to the sake of the society.
(j) "responsible": The adjective "responsible" fits well to complete the idea described.
In summary, correctly filling the blanks requires understanding not just the grammar but also the contextual meaning of the passage.
