  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    Select the correctly spelt word.

    Solutions

    Option D has the correctly spelt word. Secretarial means relating to the work or position of a secretary.

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

    We should not mix with those people who have an ____________ reputation.

    Solutions

    Let's understand the meanings of the given words:

    Unsavory(घृणित) = unpleasant or morally offensive

    Unsteady(अस्थिर) = not steady or firm; unstable; shaky

    Unsafe(असुरक्षित) = not safe; at the risk of being harmed

    Unsanctified(अपवित्र) = not holy because of being impure or defiled

    The correct adjective for the sentence is "unsavory". It is because we are advised to stay away from the company of people who are morally unacceptable.
    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 3/10

    Putrid(सड़ा हुआ) = decaying or rotting and emitting a fetid smell.

    Stale(बासी) = no longer fresh and pleasant to eat; hard, musty, or dry.

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bold segment in the given sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No improvement’.

    James had been teaching at the university since June.

    Solutions

    The question sentence quotes a time frame which means the activity of James teaching at the university started in June and it still continues. This means that the sentence should not be kept in the past tense. It should be kept in the present tense. Therefore, the use of "had been teaching" is incorrect in the sentence and should be replaced by "has been teaching". Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    Also, the sentence shows a continuous activity which means the sentence should be of perfect progressive tense. So, part (C) would be incorrect. The subject "James" is singular, therefore, a plural verb would be incorrect here. So, option B is incorrect.

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

    DILIGENT

    Solutions

    Let's understand the meaning of the given words:

    Diligent(मेहनती) = having or showing care and conscientiousness in one's work or duties.

    Assiduous(परिश्रमी) = showing great care and perseverance. So, it is the most suitable synonym.

    Ridiculous(हास्यास्पद) = stupid or unreasonable and deserving to be laughed at.

    Arduous(कठिन) = involving or requiring strenuous effort; difficult and tiring.

     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    Select the most appropriate meaning of the idiom bold in the sentence.

    I can finish the work by my-self, but she always tries to be a backseat driver.

    Solutions

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order.

    P. They feared a backlash from orthodox elements.

    Q. The system of Sati prevailed among upper caste Hindus in the 19th century.

    R. Between 1815 and 1818 in Bengal alone, 800 women became Satis.

    S. The British did not take any legal action against this practice.

    Solutions

    Sentence Q talks about an ancient practice in India, i.e. the Sati system. Q should be followed by R as it shows data about the number of women who finished their life in this practice. The next sentence should be S as it shows the concern of the British against this system. Sentence P would be next as it mentions the reason why the British did not take any action against the Sati system. Hence, the correct sequence is QRSP.

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    Expose(प्रकट करना) = make accessible to some action or influence

    Disclose(जाहिर करना) = uncover, expose to view

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

    The General presented us a detailed battle plan.

    Solutions

    The given sentence is in active form of simple past tense. The structures for active/passive voices are:
    Active: Subject + verb (IInd form) + object...
    Passive: Object + was/were + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject...
    In the active voice, the preposition “to” can be avoided as “presented” makes sense in itself. However, the passive voice requires the preposition “to” to indicate the recipient of the battle plan.
    So, with the help of the above structures, we can convert the given sentence into passive voice: A detailed battle plan was presented to us by the General.
