Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: 'objectives'.
Explanation: The sentence describes the purpose of establishing Regional Rural Banks, so a word meaning aims or purposes is required. 'objectives' precisely expresses that sense.
Why 'ideas' is not suitable: it is too general and does not specifically mean the aims or purposes behind establishing the banks.
Why 'work' is not suitable: it refers to tasks or labor, not to intended aims, and would make the sentence unidiomatic in this context.
Why 'duty' is not suitable: it implies obligation or responsibility rather than the purpose or aims of establishing the banks.
Therefore, 'objectives' is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence.
