  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    Improve the bracket part of the sentence.

    The flood situation due to the cyclone is (worst) in Bengal than that prevailed in the last year.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option B, i.e., ‘worse’. The correct sentence after improving the bracketed part is: The flood situation due to the cyclone is worse in Bengal than that prevailed in the last year.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    Improve the bracket part of the sentence.

    My teacher asked me not to waste even (a little) quantity of food.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option C, i.e., small. The correct sentence after replacing the bracketed term is: My teacher asked me not to waste even small quantity of food. The adjectives ‘little’ and ‘few’ are not made to qualify the nouns, ‘quantity’ and ‘number’. Instead ‘small’ should be used to qualify these nouns. Therefore, we replace ‘a little’ from the sentence with ‘small’.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the given questions.

    Insects have always represented a key factor for agriculture since crop production has constantly depended on pollination. In recent years, the use of pesticides, the reduction in land availability, the changes in environmental conditions, and the rise of invasive species endangered the traditional pollinators’ life. The economic and ecological importance of these insects led the European Commission to carry on a specific policy to protect bees.

    However, pollination is not the only significant role that bugs can play in agriculture. Beneficial insects are also successful “weapons,” when associated with other forms of crop protection, in integrated pest management. This function is of paramount importance when referring to organic agriculture, where insects are further expressly included in the notion of “animal production.” Insects can, however, play additional innovative roles in agriculture, turning to be promising solutions for the emerging issues concerning the environment, and the sufficiency of feed and food supplies.
