  • Question 1
    3 / -1

    It is ethics and

    A.values that have the inherent

    B. of motivation into inspiration

    C. potential to transform the spirit

    The correct sequence to complete the sentence should be

    Solution

    With the order ACB the sentence is meaningful.

    “It is ethics and values that have the inherent potential to transform spirit of motivation into inspiration”

    Here, the ‘and’ after ‘ethics’ demands another noun and A starts with ‘values’. Thus, A comes first.

    Since ‘inherent’ is an adjective, a noun should  follow it. Hence, C will come first with the noun ‘potential’. 

    "...spirit of " is logically followed by "motivation ...".

  • Question 2
    3 / -1

    A sentence has been divided into some parts. The parts are jumbled up and labelled A, B, C, D and E. Rearrange the parts to form a coherent sentence and choose the most logical order from the given choices.

    Which of the following sentences should be the THIRD after rearrangement?

    Solution

    The paragraph talks about the role of unemployment in the economic condition of a nation.
    Sentence C should be the introductory sentence as it starts with 'Unemployment' which is itself title of passage. Hence, C is the opening sentence.
    Sentence F talks about the contrary facts of unemployment which should follow the introductory sentence.
    Sentence A explains the topic using facts provided by economists.
    Sentence D provides the reason of statement described in sentence A.
    Sentence B states that every nation to maintain reserve of labour force to maintain an employment.
    Sentence B will be followed by E as E shows the other side of coin and talks about present situation.

  • Question 4
    3 / -1

    In the given question, a sentence is divided into different segments. The first segment is fixed. Rearrange the other segments to form a coherent sentence.

    Instead, great marriages (1)/ are made when two people are reasonably (A) for the good in the other, and (B) compatible, when each looks (C) when there is mutual support, forgiveness, and respect. (D)

    Solution

    The correct arrangement is ACBD.

    Since part 1 talks about great marriages, it should be followed by the verb "are" in part A. "Reasonably" will be followed by the adjective "compatible" in part C. The phrasal verb "look for" means to seek out or expect. Thus, there is a CB link. This should be followed by the BD link. Therefore, the correct sentence is - Instead great marriages are made when two people are reasonably compatible, when each looks for the good in the other and when there is mutual support, forgiveness and respect. 

  • Question 5
    3 / -1

    In each of the questions given below four sentences are given which are denoted by (A), (B), (C), and (D). By using all four sentences you have to frame a meaningful paragraph.

    A. Recovery was given inadequate attention and consequently, some bank branches regularly incurred heavy losses and their parent bodies had to bale them out.

    B. As a result, banks indulged in extensive lending to borrowers who had little or no potential to make repayments.

    C. To fulfill the social objectives laid down by the masters of nationalization, banks were asked to lend to identify priority sectors.

    D. 1992-93 results showed that the loss-making branches of public sector banks increased from 10000 to 13000 and the quantum of losses showed at ₹ 3369 crores.

    Solution

    The passage describes the losses incurred by the banks due to inefficient loan recoveries. So, the passage should begin with what initiated the banks to lend loans to their customers. Then it should detail the errors made during loan lending, extension, and recovery processes. Finally, the passage concludes with valuable data to support the failure of the loan recovery system by the banks.

    The proper sequence should be:

    (C) To fulfill the social objectives laid down by the masters of nationalization, banks were asked to lend to identify priority sectors.

    (B) As a result, banks indulged in extensive lending to borrowers who had little or no potential to make repayments.

    (A) Recovery was given inadequate attention and consequently some bank branches regularly incurred heavy losses and their parent bodies had to bail them out.

    (D) The 1992-93 results showed that the loss-making branches of public sector banks increased from 10000 to 13000 and the quantum of losses showed at ₹ 3369 crores.

  • Question 7
    3 / -1

    Directions For Questions

    Directions: Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the given question out of the four alternatives.

    Translation is of immense importance today. With rapid commercialisation, the narrow barriers between nations are fast disappearing. In the past, there used to be practically no communication amongst nations. The modern world, however, is no longer divided into water-tight compartments. We are heading towards one world, thanks to development in the fields of communication among nations today. Translation forges bonds of unity amongst people who speak different languages. Even if we do not know a particular language or the literature of a particular nation, we can know its richness and the depth of its ideas through translation. Translation also helps in understanding the rich cultural heritage of a nation. Thus, a multi-lingual person has a multi-focal view of the world. Translation also serves as a mode of cultural exchange in a multi-lingual country. It plays a pivotal role in the evolution of a pluralistic national identity. The achievement of translation is both the globalisation of culture and the promotion of intra- and inter-cultural bonding. One may appreciate and enjoy through translation the plays of Shakespeare even if one does not know the English language. One may also know the rich world of Homer, Virgil, Dante, Milton, Dickens, Hardy, Leo Tolstoy, Zola and Munshi Prem Chand through translation. Translation responds to our intellectual, cultural and spiritual needs. It is necessary for information and for the exchange of ideas. Translation, which has hitherto been neglected and marginalised, has assumed importance with rapid globalisation. It is now considered an art that requires mastery and perfection. A good translator is able to do away with superficiality and has a clear understanding of the text to be translated. He should have mastery over the subtle nuances of the language from which he is translating. Translating a passage of one language into another literally is not only impossible but would also result in incorrect grammar and syntax.
