  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    In the question, one sentence is given, and four words have been given in bold denoted by (A), (B), (C) and (D). You have to decide which of the following is inappropriate in the context. If all the words are appropriate in the context then mark ‘All correct’ as your answer.

    The vote against a federal guarantee (A) of a minimal (B), subsistance (C) level of support was a devastating (D) loss to all women.

    Solutions

    The error is in part C of the sentence. The spelling of the word is wrong here. The correct word is “subsistence” which means the action or fact of maintaining or supporting oneself, especially at a minimal level. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    In the question, one sentence is given, and four words have been given in bold denoted by (A), (B), (C) and (D). You have to decide which of the following is inappropriate in the context. If all the words are appropriate in the context then mark ‘All correct’ as your answer.

    Indian warships, for instance (A), had evaluated (B) Indians as well as foreign nationals (C) from war-torn Yemen under Operation (D) Rahat in early-2015.

    Solutions

    The error is in part B of the sentence. The sentence mentions about a situation where people from India and other countries are stranded in war-torn Yemen and Indian worships are on a mission to get them out from there. Hence, the word “evaluated” which means to form an idea of the amount, number, or value of; assess must be replaced with “evacuated” which means remove (someone) from a place of danger to a safer place to make the sentence both meaningfully and contextually correct. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    In the question, one sentence is given, and four words have been given in bold denoted by (A), (B), (C) and (D). You have to decide which of the following is inappropriate in the context. If all the words are appropriate in the context then mark ‘All correct’ as your answer.

    The study predicted (A) that roughly 2.4 million people could eventually (B) die from cancer as a result (C) of atmospheric test (D).

    Solutions

    The error is in part D of the sentence which means “test” is used wrongly here. Note that test is a verb. We need an adjective here in the sentence to make the sentence grammatically correct. Thus, the word “test” must be replaced with “testing”, which means a process or system which is used to identify characteristics or problems. Therefore option D is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    In the question, one sentence is given, and four words have been given in bold denoted by (A), (B), (C) and (D). You have to decide which of the following is inappropriate in the context. If all the words are appropriate in the context then mark ‘All correct’ as your answer.

    It was felt that these arrangements (A) would lesson (B) the risk of the association (C) being drawn into difficulties (D) if anything else went wrong.

    Solutions

    The error is in part B of the sentence, which means the word “lesson” has been used wrongly here. Note that the sentence mentions about some arrangements that will reduce the difficulties associated with the process. Hence, the noun “lesson” which means a period of learning or teaching must be replaced with the verb “lessen” which means to make or become less; diminish. Thus, option B is the correct option.

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    In the question, one sentence is given, and four words have been given in bold denoted by (A), (B), (C) and (D). You have to decide which of the following is inappropriate in the context. If all the words are appropriate in the context then mark ‘All correct’ as your answer.

    Their observations concerning (A) the inssatiable (B) appetite for immediate (C) team success (D) from the age of eight are so relevant.

    Solutions

    The error is in part B of the sentence. The spelling of the word is wrong here. The correct spelling is “insatiable” which means an appetite for something that cannot be satisfied. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that best fits the blank appropriately.

    The infuriated goons tried to ____________ her into retracting her complain.

    Solutions

    Note that we need a verb in its base form (V1) with to. Thus, option B, C and D get eliminated. Between A and E, if we read the sentence carefully we know that the goons are trying to terrify her to take her complain back. Hence, the word “scare” fits in the blank to make the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that best fits the blank appropriately.

    The Supreme Court is looking into effective ____________ by social media companies like Facebook and twitter with the provisions of the Information Technology Act to help detect cyber- crimes.

    Solutions

    Note that the sentence tells that The Supreme Court is trying to bring in some rules and regulations to help detect cyber-crimes. In this context the only word that fits in the blank is “compliance” which means the state or fact of according with or meeting rules or standards. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that best fits the blank appropriately.

    Shehla will have to undergo a ______________ of tests before the interview

    Solutions

    If we go through option elimination method option B, C and E get eliminated easily; as they do not make sense in this context. Between option A and C, if we read the sentence carefully it mentions that the person have to go through a number of tests. “Series” which means a group or a number of related or similar things, events, etc. fits correctly in the blank in this case. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that best fits the blank appropriately.

    When you go out, you have to be very ________________ as road is slippery due to heavy rainfall.

    Solutions

    Note that the sentence mentions that as there was heavy rainfall that is why the road is slippery. So, one has to be careful while going out. In this context the only word that suits in the blank is “cautious”. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    Read the following sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number corresponding to that part will be your answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, mark the answer as ‘No error’. Ignore the errors of punctuation if any.

    It was a solemn affair (1)/ and they spent most of the afternoon (2)/ talk to people (3)/ she had never met. (4)

    Solutions

    The error is in the third part of the sentence. ‘… spent most of the afternoon’ is in the form verb + adverb. Hence, a gerund must follow it. So, to make the sentence grammatically correct the gerund ‘talking’ should be used in the third part. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
