Directions(1-7): In the following passage, some of the words have been left out, each of which is indicated by a number. Find the suitable word from the options given against each number and fill up the blanks with appropriate words to make the paragraph meaningfully complete.
Chances of a married couple sitting across the table, with one saying, "I want a divorce," and the other saying, "Fine, let's go ahead," are ______(1)_____. Usually, one spouse sets the ball rolling on a _____(2)_____ while the other resists. The person who resists will either reluctantly let go or will fight it out but not without seeking his or her due share. Similarly, when promoters attempt to delist their companies, minority shareholders often resist such _____(3)_____ but with no success. "Delisting is like a forced divorce," a senior capital market regulatory official said at a meeting. "The investor has the right to ask what is due to him. If the promoter can pay, go for _____(4)_____. If you are not able to pay, remain listed."
Sebi's stance on this stems from its concern for minority stakeholders who it _____(5)_____ should not lose out in the bargain. Delisting, which leads to the removal of a company's stock from the ______(6)______, favours promoters, enabling them to exercise greater control over the businesses. Once the stock is delisted, minority shareholders will not enjoy the luxury of _____(7)_____ offered by stock exchanges. So the regulator wants to ensure that such shareholders gain the most before delisting.
