Let us take a look at each of the answer choices:
1. A - barbarism : This sounds plain wrong and also doesn't fit anywhere within the context of the sentence 2. B - Perfidy - This means treachery. keep this one. The sentence talks about an extension of dis loyalty. This could be it !! 3. C - Integrity - This is opposite in meaning to the intending word in the sentence 4. D - Blasphemy - Another completely wrong choice 5. E - Abandonment - This could have 2 meanings namely, desert and leave or complete surrender of all inhibitions. Taking the first meaning, the sentence seems to fit on first glance but then you notice that it does not suit the sentence and is stylistically wrong. Also dis loyalty means that they were not disgruntled. They did not want to do the revolutionary act any more. An extension of disloyalty is to turn against the system or to commit treachery. Hence, this choice is also discounted. The final answer is B - Perfidy. Also, it seems to fit and sound nice in the sentence if you play it by ear. I tend to do that a lot... |

I agree with with Meruchi.. think the clue here is--"disloyalty" amounting to something which is a opposite of "disloyalty" i.e "Integrity".This opposed the person as it wasn't the norm of the revolutionaries[who are charecterized by heterdox/non-conform].thx

But how can something disloyal amount to something disloyal?

Barbarism Perfidity Integrity Blasphemy Abandonment Dont you think the ans is blasphemy? Think that you are yelling at a group saying that they are disloyality is amounting to irreverence towards something-its just that they are not showing up as the revolutionary mavericks show the irreverence to something. Also another,revelutioneries criticize openly,the are not like be there and be disloyal. I would go for blasphemy,and i am sure its right. |
