    The first formulation of the term (A)/ and associated principles was (B)/ developed by John Wilk. (C) No error (D)

    Solutions

    There is no error in the given sentence.

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

    The clever man (led of the king) the bank of the lake.

    Solutions

    The verb 'led' does not need to be followed with any preposition and the preposition 'to' must be written after the word 'king.' People are led to some place. Thus option 3 is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    In the following question, the sentence given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.

    The young prince became king after his older brother decided to ______ the throne.

    Solutions

    The word 'recur' means 'to occur again' and does not make any sense here. The word 'abduct' means 'to grab an individual by trickery or force' and does not fit here. The word 'abhor' means 'hate' and is not apt here. The word 'abdicate' means 'to give up' and conveys the correct meaning.

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    In the following question, a sentence has been given in direct/indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in indirect/direct speech

    Tara said,"I will be visiting the place next month."

    Solutions

    In indirect speech, the words of the speaker are changed. There needs to be a change in the tense as well, as the words have been spoken by the speaker in past so narrating them in present needs a change in the tense. The pronouns are changed accordingly too. The verb 'will' in direct speech would become 'would' in indirect speech. Thus option 3 is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the Idiom/ Phrase.

    Raked over the coals.

    Solutions

    The idiom 'to rake someone over the coals' means 'to criticize or scold them severely.' Thus option 1 is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the correct word.

    What is the time _____ your watch?

    Solutions

    The correct preposition here is 'by' as 'by' is used to convey the correct meaning. The other prepositions do not fit here. By here means according to and fits here appropriately.
