Question
If you choose plan P, you will have to ________ plan Q, as these two are mutually ________.
Correct answer
(A) forgo, exclusive
Solution
The sentence describes a situation where choosing one plan necessitates giving up the other. 'Mutually exclusive' is a standard term meaning that two things cannot both exist or happen at the same time. 'Forgo' means to decline or give up something. Thus, if plans P and Q are mutually exclusive, choosing P means you must forgo Q.
