The first blank requires a verb in continuous form to support the noun ‘spectrum payments’. DEFERRING means putting off an action or event to a later time, which would be done for the payments to give telcos relief.

Correct Answer – B. Leverage, Overwhelmed

Explanation-The word ‘LEVERAGE’ means to use something to maximum advantage which can be used in the first blank. As the philanthropic potential is being talked about thus UNABLE should be combined with LEVERAGE, to mention that India is not able to take maximum advantage of the potential. The second blank requires an adjective to express the situation of India when it’s under regulatory constraints and unfavourable tax policies, thus makes OVERWHELM meaning ‘to be too much to deal with’ correct for the blank.

Correct Answer – D. Focus, Generous

AND suggest that a new clause is being added to the sentence.

Correct Answer – A. Hurdles, Curtail

Correct Answer – C. Tempting, Counterproductive

Explanation- The sentence talks about the feasibility of regulatory intervention in the situation of financial strain on telcos and churn in the market. The two clause put together using WHILE should provide countering statements, Thus using TEMPTING meaning ‘appealing to or attracting even if wrong or unwise’ with  the word COUNTERPRODUCTIVE meaning ‘having the opposite of the desired effect’ are correct to use in both the blank to explain that  financial strain would make regulatory intervention desirable but  if a heavy-handed approach is placed then it will act in opposition to the it.

Correct Answer – C. dissent, clad
