In the following question, sentence given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word(s). Four alternatives are suggested for the question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.
The main street, which is neither broad nor _________, runs past this square on its way to the railway-station.
Shallow - lacking depth. Narrow - of small width. Across - from one side to the other. B is incorrect as a street cannot have depth. D is incorrect as we need an adjective here, while this is a preposition. A is incorrect contextually, as the sentence uses the word 'neither', which should include two opposite characteristics; 'broad', which means the same as 'wide' has already been used in the sentence. C is the right answer.
The peanut stove, which is so often to be seen on the __________ just outside the fruit-shops, makes us think of the familiar street scene at home.
Pedestrian - one who walks on the road. Perverse - strict and serious. Footpath - pavement. Traverse - cover an area on foot. Going by contextual understanding, only C makes sense in the sentence, which makes it the right answer.
In the following questions, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive Voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active Voice.
This suit has been designed by one of the most famous designers in the country.
The sentence is in passive voice and in present perfect tense 'has been designed'. A is incorrect as 'had designed' is in past perfect tense. C is incorrect as 'designed' is in simple past tense. D is incorrect as 'was designing' is in past continuous tense. B is the right answer, as 'has designed' is in present perfect tense.
In the following questions, 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 Direct/ Indirect speech.
"Can you come and pick me up?" she asked her father.
When converting direct to indirect speech, the modal verb 'can' changes to 'could'. A is the right answer.
In the following questions, out of the four alternatives, select the word similar in meaning to the word given.
Advent
"Advent" means the arrival of something. Only "origin" has the same meaning, which will make option B, the correct answer.
Queer
"Queer" means strange; odd. The correct synonym of it would be "unusual", making option C, the correct answer.
In the following question, four words are given out of which one word is incorrectly spelt. Find the incorrectly spelt word.
The correct spelling is Heinous.
The correct spelling is Proprietary.
In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the idiom/Phrase.
Hold your horses
The idiom "holding one's horses" refers to waiting for a moment/minute.
In each of the questions below, a sentence is given with one part bracketed. Select the option that provides the correct replacement for the bracketed part. In case of no improvement needed, choose Option D.
His thin face, with its steadfast grey eyes, bore traces of (much sorrow).
The noun 'sorrow' can be both countable and uncountable. In this case, if 'sorrow' is used as an uncountable noun, it will be preceded by the adjective 'much'. Else, the plural 'sorrows' will be used with the countable adjective 'many'. D is the right answer.
