  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    The question below contains five scattered segments of a sentence. Indicate the sequence which correctly assembles the segments and completes the sentence.  

    A. to fulfil our demand. 

    B. food grains 

    C. from other countries

    D. we used to import

    E. after independence 

    Solutions

    The correct answer is EDBCA.

    Key Points

    • E is the part that establishes the subject of the matter i.e. 'Independence'. Hence, it'll be the first part after rearrangement.
    • Part D talks about import which started after independence. Hence, D follows E.
    • Part B talks about food grains that are imported. Hence, B follows D.
    • Part C talks about other countries from which grains are imported. So, C follows B.
    • Part A talks about why grains are imports which is to fulfil our demands. Hence, A follows C.

    Correct rearrangement of segments is: After independence, we used to import food grains from other countries to fulfil our demand.

    Hint

    • While solving jumbles, one must first look for any independent sentences/segments or the option which establishes the subject matter. 
    • Then, one must look for connections between the sentences/segments. 
    • Some sentences/segments might have some concluding notion. So those options will be always at the end.

    • Part C talks about women to whom men beat up which is mentioned in part D. Hence, C follows D.
    • Part E is a continuation of part C as it says women are also abused. Hence, E follows C.
    • Part talks about the property that is used for women.
    • Part tells us that men think of women as property. Hence, follows E and B follows A.

    Correct rearrangement of segments is: The men beat up their wife and abuse them as they think women are their property.

    Hint

    • While solving jumbles, one must first look for any independent sentences/segments or the option which establishes the subject matter.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    Evaluate the following word, accompanied by three sentences containing it. Determine the sentence(s) that accurately convey the meaning of the given word.

    Systemic

    A. He suggested a systemic change in the way schools evaluate students.

    B. The doctor prescribed a systemic antibiotic for the widespread infection.

    C. The event planner organized a systemic reception at the beach.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is: Option 2.

    Key Points

    • The word "Systemic" refers to something that relates to a system as a whole, rather than to particular parts. It often implies a deep-seated, ingrained issue or a comprehensive approach affecting all parts of a system. (प्रणालीगत)
      • Example: Systemic issues within the corporation were causing widespread inefficiency and dissatisfaction.
    • Sentence A correctly uses "Systemic" to describe a change that affects the entire system of how schools evaluate students, implying a fundamental and comprehensive shift.
      • Example: Implementing a systemic change in the healthcare system can significantly improve patient outcomes.
    • Sentence B uses "Systemic" in the context of medicine, where a systemic antibiotic is intended to work throughout the body to treat a widespread infection, accurately conveying the meaning of affecting the whole system.
      • Example: A systemic treatment plan was necessary to address the full scope of the patient's condition.
    • Sentence C's use of "Systemic" to describe the organization of a reception does not fit the typical meaning of affecting the whole system in a deep-seated or comprehensive manner.
    • Therefore, sentences A and B correctly convey the meaning of "Systemic," making Option 2 the correct choice.

    Therefore, the correct answer is: Both A & B.

    Additional Information

    Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

    • Only A: This option would suggest that only sentence A correctly uses the term "Systemic," which is not accurate since sentence B also correctly uses the term.
      • Example: Focusing on only one aspect of reform may overlook the need for systemic changes.
    • Only C: Sentence C's use of "Systemic" to describe the organization of a reception does not fit the typical meaning of affecting the whole system in a deep-seated or comprehensive manner.
      • Example: Organizing an event, though requiring thorough planning, doesn't necessarily imply a systemic approach unless it addresses broader systemic issues within event planning.
    • All A, B & C: This option incorrectly includes sentence C as a correct usage of "Systemic."
      • Example: While sentences A and B correctly describe systemic concepts, C does not align with the systemic approach's comprehensive or whole-system implications.
    • None of these: This option would be incorrect as sentences A and B accurately use "Systemic" in their contexts.
  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    Evaluate the following word, accompanied by three sentences containing it. Determine the sentence(s) that accurately convey the meaning of the given word.

    Victory

    A. After months of negotiations, the union declared a significant victory following the increase in wages.

    B. Her latest painting was a true victory of modern art, captivating everyone who saw it.

    C. He took a victory of prescription medication that finally eased his chronic pain.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is: Option 2.

    Key Points

    • The word "Victory" means a success or triumph over an enemy in battle or war, or a significant achievement or win in any competition or struggle. (विजय)
      • Example: The team celebrated their victory in the championship game with great enthusiasm.
    • Sentence A correctly uses "Victory" to describe a significant achievement following negotiations, implying a successful outcome.
      • Example: After a long dispute, the workers' victory came in the form of better working conditions and pay.
    • Sentence B metaphorically uses "Victory" to describe a significant achievement in the realm of modern art, which is a valid usage of the word.
      • Example: Her exhibition was hailed as a victory for contemporary sculpture.
    • However, Sentence C incorrectly uses "Victory" as it does not fit the context of taking medication. The correct term might be 'dose' or 'course'.
    • Therefore, sentences A and B correctly convey the meaning of "Victory" making Option 2 the correct choice.

    Therefore, the correct answer is: Both A & B.

    Additional Information

    Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

    • Only A: This option would not be correct as it excludes the valid metaphorical use of "Victory" in sentence B.
      • Example: The environmentalist's efforts were a victory for the preservation of the wetlands.
    • Only C: This option is incorrect as sentence C does not appropriately convey the meaning of "Victory". "Victory" is not typically used to describe the act of taking medication.
      • Example: Incorrect usage, therefore no example is provided.
    • All A, B & C: This option is incorrect because, as explained, sentence C does not fit the correct usage of "Victory".
      • Example: Incorrect option, as explained above.
    • None of these: This option would also be incorrect as sentences A and B correctly use the word "Victory".
      • Example: Choosing this option would ignore the correct applications of "Victory" in sentences A and B.
  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    B. After the meeting, he was assigned the remit of revising the draft policy.

    C. She reminisced about her holiday by looking at the remit of the ocean.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is: Option 2.

    Key Points

    • The word "remit" refers to the task or area of activity officially assigned to an individual or organization. It can also mean to send money as payment or gift. (विशेष कार्य क्षेत्र या धन भेजना)
      • Example: The committee has widened its remit to consider all forms of discrimination.
    • Sentence A uses "remit" correctly to describe the extension of an official scope of activity to include new industries. (विशेष कार्य क्षेत्र)
      • Example: The agency's remit now includes environmental issues.
    • Sentence B also uses "remit" accurately to indicate the assignment of a specific task or responsibility. (विशेष कार्य क्षेत्र)
      • Example: Her remit was to improve the company's communication strategy.
    • Sentence C: Misuses "remit" by implying a visual or contemplative scope, which is incorrect.
      • Example: Incorrect: She admired the remit of the landscape. (Incorrect because "remit" does not refer to a view or scope in this context.)
    • Hence, sentences A and B correctly use the word "remit," making Option 2 the correct answer.

    Therefore, the correct answer is: Both A & B.

    Key Points

    • The given phrase is: 'into an experience close with prayer'.
    • The underlined phrase has an error of the 'Usage of Preposition'.
    • So, replacing 'into an experience close with prayer' with 'into an experience close to prayer' will make the sentence correct as 'close to' is used to suggest something is used.

    Therefore, the correct answer is: 'into an experience close to prayer'.

    Correct sentence: The singer began his concert by chanting the Gayatri mantra turning it finally into an experience close to prayer.

    Additional Information

    The players of the team is practicing hard for the upcoming match, and they are determined to win against their toughest rivals this season.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is 'are practicing hard'.

    Key Points

    • In the original sentence, the subject "players" is plural, so the correct verb should also be plural, which is "are practicing".
    • The verb "is practicing" is singular and does not agree with the plural subject "players".
    • The error lies in the subject-verb agreement of the sentence.

    Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
    Correct sentence: The players of the team are practicing hard for the upcoming match, and they are determined to win against their toughest rivals this season.

    Additional Information

    • Let's review the options:
    • Has practiced hard - This option changes the verb tense and does not fit the present continuous tense used in the original sentence.
    • Practicing hard - This option changes the verb tense and does not fit the present continuous tense used in the original sentence.
    • Practices hard - This option uses the simple present tense, which does not convey the ongoing action of the team practicing for the upcoming match.
