Pick the correct set of words to complete the following sentence: Survival of mankind __________ is in danger due to _______ of atomic weapons.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
Mankind is singular in this construction, so itself fits, and proliferation means the rapid spread or increase of atomic weapons. Himself, preparation: himself does not agree with mankind here, and preparation does not express the intended spread of weapons. Themselves, regularisation: themselves creates a number mismatch, while regularisation means making something conform to rules. Only, provocation: only is not a reflexive reference to mankind, and provocation means incitement rather than increase or spread.
