i. A lucky accident had ordained that the Austrian army should ____________ the previous year on the very fields where the French had now to be fought.
ii. During the seasonal sales at the mall, it is often impossible to _________ one's shopping cart through the crowded store aisles.

Options

A. Shove
B. Promenade
C. Amble
D. Manoeuvre

Answer

D

Explanation

The first sttement tells us that the Austrian army has some kind of an advantage in the war since they are acquainted with the field where the French have to be fought. The word 'manoeuvre', which also means a military exercise of the troops, completes the sentence correctly. Manoeuvre also means 'to move skilfully' , which makes it an ideal choice for the second statement as well. In the second statement, the cart has to be moved skilfully through the crowded store.
