Discussion
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Peasants and workers had participated in revolts ______ increasing taxes and food scarcity. But they lacked the means and programmes ______ full-scale measures that would bring about a change in the social and economic order.
Answer: C
The correct pair is 'against' and 'to carry out'. People take part in revolts against something such as increasing taxes and food scarcity, so the first blank needs 'against'. The second blank follows 'means and programmes', which take an infinitive of purpose, 'to carry out full-scale measures'. 'Across', 'beside' and 'through' do not express opposition to taxes, so they are wrong for the first blank. 'Carry out' without 'to' and 'carried out' do not give a correct structure after 'programmes', and 'carrying out' would not fit the sense of aims and capacity.
