New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: Succeeds
Solution : The correct choice is the first option, "succeeds".
The word "succeeds" is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence. " Succeed" means to achieve the desired aim or result, and correctly conveys the intended meaning that those who never try, never succeed.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- "Success": This option is incorrect because it's a noun, not a verb.
- "Prosper" refers to long-term well-being or financial success, while the sentence talks about the act of trying leading to success.
- "Gain": This option is also incorrect because, like "success" and "prosper," it's a noun and doesn't provide the necessary verb to complete the sentence. "Gain" refers to obtaining something.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "One who tries may fail, but one who does not try never succeeds".
