Q:

Direction: In the following passage, there are blanks, each followed by a word given in bold. All these bold words are jumbled and do not necessarily fit in the blank against them.

Cloud computing is a method for delivering information technology (IT) services in which resources are (A) (viable) from the Internet through web-based tools and applications, as opposed to a direct connection to a server. Rather than keeping files on a (B) (seamless) hard drive or local storage device, cloud-based storage makes it possible to save them to a remote database. As long as an electronic device has access to the web, it has access to the data and the software programs to run it. The rise of cloud-based software has offered companies from all sectors several benefits, including the ability to use software from any device, either via a native app or a browser. As a result, users can carry their files and settings to other devices in a completely (C) (proprietary) manner. Cloud computing offers big businesses some serious cost-saving potential. Before the cloud became a (D) (tangible) alternative, companies were required to purchase, construct and maintain costly information management technology and infrastructure. Now, instead of investing millions in huge server centres, a firm can use "lite" versions of workstations with (E) (retrieved) fast internet connections. The cloud-like structure allows users to upgrade software more quickly – because software companies can offer their products via the web rather than through more traditional, (F) (lightning) methods involving discs or flash drives.

Find the appropriate word for blank F.
