A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
If she had worked hard, she...... in the election.
Explanation: The sentence is in the past perfect tense and follows a conditional structure. It indicates a hypothetical or unreal situation in the past. The correct structure for this kind of conditional statement is 'if + past perfect, then the result in the past would have been.' In this case, 'she had worked hard' is the past perfect part, and the result in the past is 'elected.' So, the complete sentence is: 'If she had worked hard, she would have been elected.' <br> Let's break down the options: <br> Option A: will elect is incorrect because it does not maintain the past tense required for the hypothetical situation. <br> Option B: will be elected is also incorrect as it uses future tense, which is not appropriate for a past hypothetical scenario. <br> Option D: would have elected is incorrect because it doesn't use the correct structure for past hypothetical situations. <br> So, the correct answer is Option C: would have been elected, which accurately reflects the past perfect conditional structure.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions. <br><br> The Railway Protection Force (RPF) has widened its social media outreach for ensuring the safety of women and children by inducting nearly 60 National Service Scheme volunteers from four school and college campuses in Kochi city into its WhatsApp groups Security on Wheels (SoW). <br><br> Students from Maharaja's College, Cochin College, Sree Narayana Mangalam Institute of Management and Technology, and Darul Uloom Vocational Higher Secondary School were enlisted during an awareness programme on the safety of women and children on railway properties organised by RPF earlier this month. <br><br> 'Students who volunteered to join SoW were either regular commuters or predominantly used train as their preferred mode of transport. We plan to reach out to more schools and campuses as part of widening the network of volunteers,' said T.C. Gopakumar, Assistant Security Commissioner, RPF, Ernakulam. <br><br> The student volunteers may gradually be made part of RPF Mitra programme, which is an initiative akin to community policing with the aim of enhancing the security of railway assets through public participation. <br><br> RPF had earlier formed two WhatsApp groups this year focussing on the safety of women and children in the northern and southern areas of the Thiruvananthapuram Railway Division. These groups have the RPF Assistant Security Commissioners of Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram as their admins under the supervision of RPF Commissioner for Kerala S. Ramakrishnan. <br><br> The groups, which already boast of over 200 members, are expected to serve as an additional layer of security apart from the helpline number 182, which is accessible to all train passengers across the country and connects them to the nearest RPF station. <br><br> 'We are getting regular alerts over the WhatsApp groups, which are mostly about the nuisance in lady's compartments and unauthorised travelling of men in coaches reserved for women,' said Mr. Gopakumar. <br><br> The initial few members were added by the women RPF officials based on their interactions with women passengers while escorting trains in ladies' coaches. Once the groups touch the maximum limit of 250 members, more groups would be created railway circle-wise. <br><br> The primary objective of the groups is to enhance the security of women and children on railway properties by establishing two-way communication between them and RPF officials. Members may share suggestions, grievances and even information on criminal activities in trains or stations, including instances of stone pelting. RPF will initiate swift action.
