(a) Showing • Meaning in English: Indicating, revealing, or making something visible. • Meaning in Hindi: दिखाना या प्रकट करना। • Correct or Incorrect: Incorrect. While "showing" conveys the idea of revealing or indicating, it does not fit the phrase "______ point" as well as "turning point" would in the context of a significant discovery. (b) Looping • Meaning in English: Moving in a circular path or repeating something. • Meaning in Hindi: घुमाव या बार-बार िोहराने वाली प्रदिया। • Correct or Incorrect: Incorrect. "Looping" refers to a repetitive or circular process and does not logically fit the context of a significant breakthrough in science, which is meant to represent a turning point rather than repetition. (c) Dialing • Meaning in English: Adjusting or tuning something (e.g., on a dial); making a phone call. • Meaning in Hindi: डायल करना या समायोदित करना। • Correct or Incorrect: Incorrect. "Dialing" does not fit the context of a breakthrough or significant change in science. It is too literal and specific to actions like tuning or making phone calls. 63 www.bankersadda.com | Adda247 App (d) Blowing • Meaning in English: Expelling air forcefully, or causing to explode or spread. • Meaning in Hindi: उडाना या फ ूं क मारना। • Correct or Incorrect: Incorrect. "Blowing" doesn't fit the context either, as it usually refers to wind, air, or explosions, which are irrelevant to the scientific discovery mentioned here. (e) Turning • Meaning in English: A significant change in direction, or the point at which such a change occurs. • Meaning in Hindi: मोड या दिशा बिलने का दबूंिु। • Correct or Incorrect: Correct. "Turning point" is the most appropriate phrase here, as it refers to a moment when a significant change or advancement occurs, which aligns with the discovery of cells being a crucial advancement in biological science. Final Answer: The most appropriate word for blank (A) is (e) turning.
