    Water-borne diseases are the most ______ causes of infant deaths _______ the world.
    Solutions
    The first blan is preceded by 'most' and thus needs an adjective that can be used in superlative degree with 'most'. this ousts 'rare' (superlative form is rarest) and 'large' (superlative form is largest).
    'At' in the option B is unsuitable to be used to describe the connotation of the complete world. 
    Option C is incorrect because if 'related' is used in the first blank then it fails to give any proper sense.
    So, the correct response would be option D.

    The governor commands the trust of the markets and investors because he is not seen ________ for the authorities and is not shy of publicly expressing __________ on economic or political developments, though never recklessly.
    Solutions
    'Cheer leading' means to stir and excite (spectators) through organized cheering. Misgivings refers to a feeling of doubt or apprehension about the outcome or consequences of something. Since the second blank is followed by "economic or political developments", the word "misgivings" is best fit for it as it talks about the possible outcome of such developments. The phrase 'not shy of doing something' is used to emphasize that someone is very willing to do something, something which otherwise people will refrain from doing. Other options suggested for the second blank reflect a positive tone which is not in agreement with the case provided by the context. "Certitude" stands for something that someone firmly believes is true. This too is inappropriate for the second blank. So, the correct choice is option A.

    Solutions
    Gigantic and massive is used for describing tangible and physical aspect of things and therefore, are inappropriate for the first blank. 'Diminutive' (extremely or unusually small) and 'miniature' (very small of its kind.) are contextually inappropriate with regard to something being granted.
    'Immense' means extremely large or great, especially in scale or degree, 'exemption' refers to freedom from a responsibility. Both the words fit in the statement well.

    Working outside of school hours and earning valuable income for the family will surely have a _________ effect on the children’s health as well as their_________ for learning.
    Solutions
    The sentence has a negative tone, so the fillers should be placed accordingly. At a first glance, all the options seem to be confusing since all of them are in a negative context. However, on careful reading we can eliminate them. 'Deleterious' means damaging or harming, 'aptitude' refers to an inclination or quickness at learning. 
    Hence, both the words suitably fit in.
