Directions: Read the given passage carefully to answer the following questions. Each question will have five alternatives as its answer. Choose the correct option as your answer.

Vaishali had always possessed a keen interest in colours and their applications. From a young age, she was fascinated by the vibrant hues of the textiles her mother used to weave. As she grew older, this fascination turned into a dedicated pursuit of knowledge. Vaishali enrolled in a prestigious university to study textile dyeing and specialised in organic dyes. She believed that organic dyes, made from plants and other natural sources, were not only environmentally friendly but also provided more secure options for health compared to synthetic dyes. During her studies, Vaishali discovered that many industrial manufacturers preferred synthetic dyes for their lower cost and durability. Synthetic dyes, however, came with their own set of drawbacks, including environmental pollution and potential health risks. Vaishali aimed to develop a range of organic dyes that could rival synthetic ones in terms of cost and performance. Her research took her deep into the chemistry of colours, where she learnt to blend various natural ingredients to achieve vibrant, lasting hues. Upon graduation, Vaishali secured funding from a major textile company that wanted to explore sustainable practices. Her task was to provide comprehensive solutions that incorporated organic dyes into their production line without compromising quality or increasing costs excessively. She spent countless hours in the lab, meticulously testing and refining her formulations.

Despite her best efforts, Vaishali faced substantial resistance from the industrial sector. Many manufacturers argued that shifting to organic dyes was impractical and would jeopardise their profits. Determined to prove them wrong, Vaishali organised several demonstrations and produced tangible results that showcased the potential benefits of organic dyes. The turning point came when a high-profile case regarding industrial pollution linked to synthetic dyes caught the nation’s attention. The judge's _______ was a milestone; the court mandated stricter regulations on the use of harmful chemicals in the textile industry. This decision created a more favourable environment for Vaishali's work, as companies were now looking for safer, greener alternatives. Vaishali’s tireless dedication finally bore fruit. Her organic dye formulations were adopted by several leading textile manufacturers, marking a significant shift in the industry. Through perseverance and innovation, Vaishali proved that it was possible to provide a secure, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to synthetic dyes.
