In the following question, few sentences are given with two blanks in each. Select the pair of words that best completes both blanks in all the
sentences, ensuring the sentences remain grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.

(I) After a sharp decline in sales, the leadership team moved quickly to __________ its __________, clarifying goals and timelines.

(II) The mayor’s address aimed to __________ public __________ in the safety of the new transit corridor.

(III) The revised prospectus seeks to __________ investor __________ ahead of the listing.

The correct answer is bolster, confidence.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We need to find a pair of words (Verb, Noun) that logically and grammatically fits into all three sentence contexts:

Analyzing Sentence (I):
"After a sharp decline in sales, the leadership team moved quickly to __________ its __________, clarifying goals and timelines."
- After a decline, leadership would want to strengthen or boost ("bolster") morale or faith ("confidence") within the team by clarifying goals and timelines.

Analyzing Sentence (II):
"The mayor’s address aimed to __________ public __________ in the safety of the new transit corridor."
- A mayor addressing the public about safety aims to reinforce or build up ("bolster") public trust or belief ("confidence") in the new transit corridor.

Analyzing Sentence (III):
"The revised prospectus seeks to __________ investor __________ ahead of the listing."
- A revised prospectus is published to build up ("bolster") investor trust or assurance ("confidence") before an upcoming listing.

Evaluating Other Options:
- feeble, credibility: "feeble" is an adjective, not a verb, so it does not fit after "to" in any of the sentences.
- dilute, momentum: "dilute" means to weaken, which contradicts the positive goals in sentences II and III.
- robust, risk: "robust" is an adjective and does not fit grammatically after "to".
- compromise, standing: "compromise" means to weaken or expose to danger, which goes against the encouraging nature of these statements.

Therefore, the pair "bolster, confidence" is the only choice that fulfills both grammatical requirements and contextual meaning across all three sentences.
