NDA (I) 2023 General Ability Test · Question 16 of 149

Correct — A, 'retrieval.' In this context 'redemption' means the act of regaining or recovering something that was lost, and 'retrieval' means recovery or getting something back — so it is the closest synonym for recovering lost ground through a new strategy.

• (b)forfeiture — It means losing or giving up something as a penalty — the opposite of regaining it.
• (c)corporation — It refers to a business body or company — unrelated to recovery.
• (d)desecration — It means the violation or spoiling of something sacred — unrelated to recovery.

'Redemption' here means the act of regaining or recovering something — a recovery or retrieval of what was lost.
