' ____ feels thirsty?' 'Jiya.'
Explanation: Solution: The question asks about the correct possessive pronoun to use with 'two brothers' and the clothing they wear. <br> First, let's define possessive pronouns. These are pronouns that show ownership or possession. Examples include mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs. The question tests our understanding of possessive pronouns which also applies to phrases like 'one another's' and 'each other's'. <br> Option A: their<br> 'Their' is a plural possessive pronoun. It correctly shows possession, indicating that the clothes belong to the two brothers collectively. However, it doesn't specify whether they share clothes or wear their own. <br> Option B: one another's<br> 'One another's' implies that the brothers are wearing each other's clothes. This is a possible scenario, but not the most common or natural interpretation of how two brothers might dress. <br> Option C: each other<br> 'Each other' is a reciprocal pronoun, indicating a mutual action or relationship between two or more people. While it shows interaction, it doesn't denote possession. It's incorrect because it doesn't show who owns the clothes. <br> Option D: each other's<br> 'Each other's' is the correct answer. It's the possessive form of 'each other,' clearly showing that the two brothers wear clothes that belong to each other. This suggests a shared wardrobe or a habit of borrowing clothes from one another. This is a perfectly grammatical and understandable scenario. <br> Therefore, the best answer is Option D: each other's because it accurately and concisely reflects the shared or reciprocal nature of clothing ownership between two brothers.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions <br><br> E-pharmacies, which operate through websites or smartphone apps on the Internet, offer medicines for sale at a discount of at least 20% when compared to traditional pharmacists, with the added convenience of home delivery of medicines to one's doorstep. For scheduled drugs, patients can submit photographs of prescriptions while placing orders. Despite operating in India for at least four years now, the legal status of these e-pharmacies is not clear because the government is yet to notify into law draft rules that it published in 2018. <br><br> The fiercest opponents of e-pharmacies are trade associations of existing pharmacists and chemists. They argue that their livelihoods are threatened by venture capital backed e-pharmacies and that jobs of thousands are on the line. Apart from these obvious arguments, these trade associations also spin imaginary tales of how e-pharmacies will open the door to drug abuse and also the sale of sub-standard or counterfeit drugs, thereby threatening public health. There is enough evidence on record to demonstrate how existing pharmacies contribute generously to drug abuse and sale of sub-standard medicine. There is no reason to suspect that e-pharmacies are going to worsen the situation in anyway. <br><br> The more prudent way of looking at the entry of e-pharmacies is competition and the resultant effect it will have on lowering the price of medicine for Indian patients. Viewed from this perspective, there is virtually no doubt that e-pharmacies should be allowed to operate because the history of India's trade associations of pharmacists is one of rampant, unabashed cartelisation that has resulted in an artificial inflation of medicine prices. <br><br> This practice of two competitors colluding to fix the sale price and area of operation is called cartelisation, and is illegal under India's Competition Act. The premise of this law is that a free market is efficient only if all sellers are competing with each other to offer the lowest price to the customer.
Why is the legal status of e-pharmacies not clear in India? <br> I. Vested interests like trade associations of brick and mortar pharmacies do not want such pharmacies to sustain. <br> II.

As per the fragments highlighted above, only II fits in well. The other statements have not been mentioned in the passage. Hence, option A is correct.
