Fill in the blank with the suitable word from the options given below:
The company's growth was _________ by the adverse change in the market regulations.
Solution
Option 1 -> "augumented" (likely meant "augmented") means increased or enhanced, which contradicts the negative context of "adverse change."
Option 2 -> "facilitated" means made easier or helped, which is positive and doesn't align with adverse market changes.
Option 3 -> "propelled" means pushed forward or accelerated, which suggests positive momentum contradicting the adverse situation.
Option 4 -> "hindered" means obstructed or impeded, which correctly reflects the negative impact of adverse regulatory changes.
Hence, Option 4: hindered -> Adverse changes in regulations create obstacles and barriers, which would naturally hinder or impede a company's growth rather than promote it. This is the only option that logically fits the negative context. -> correct
