The phrase ' it's about time' is used to emphasize that something should have happened a long time ago. Here 'too' is added to suggest 'in addition to or moreover'.

Question 7
1 / -0

Select the word that can be substituted for the given phrase.
Exact and methodical thinking

A
non sequitur

B
ratiocination

C
rationalism

D
psychiatry

Solution

Option B is the correct answer because “ratiocination “ means to form judgements by a process of logic; reason, which means that it is exact and methodical thinking, hence it is correct.
Option A is incorrect because “non sequitur” means a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement, which is not the same as methodical thinking, hence it is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect because “rationalism” means the practice or principle of basing opinions, which is not the same as methodical thinking, hence incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because “psychiatry” is the study and treatment of mental illness or emotional disturbances, hence it is incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the option that best describes the underlined idiom:
More schemes for the benefit of the girl-child are in the offing.

A
Being contemplated

B
About to be planned

C
Likely to appear soon

D
Will be taken off

Solution

The underlined phrase means 'coming soon'. Thus, the answer must mean 'coming soon'.
Option A is incorrect. 'Being contemplated' means 'being considered as a possibility'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.
Option B is incorrect. The schemes are 'coming soon'. Thus, they have already been planned and are not 'about to be planned'.
Option C is correct. 'Likely to appear soon' is close in meaning to 'coming soon'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct option.
Option D is incorrect. It means the schemes will be removed. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the correct meaning of the given phrase.
"Lord it over"

A
To predominate

B
To prevaricate

C
Domineer

D
To fabricate

E
To concoct

Solution

'Lord it over' means to behave as if you are more important than someone and have a right to tell that person what to do. Option C is the most suitable answer as it is closest in meaning to that of the given phrase. 'Domineer' means to control other people without thinking about their feelings or to assert one's will over another in an arrogant way.
Options A, C, D and E are incorrect because 'to predominate' means to be the largest in number or the most important, 'to prevaricate' means to speak or act in an evasive way, 'to fabricate' means to invent (something) in order to deceive and 'to concoct' means to make something, usually food, by adding several different parts together.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the option that replaces the phrase in quotes with the correct idiomatic expression.

The harsh punishment handed out to him is 'an abstract lesson' to all criminals.

A
An abstract lesson

B
An object lesson

C
An abstruse lesson

D
An acute lesson

Solution

An idiom is a group of words that, together, have a meaning different from the literal meaning of those words, for example 'foot in your mouth' which does not literally mean someone's foot in your mouth, but it means saying or doing something embarrassing. The phrase in the given sentence 'an abstract lesson' literally refers to a lesson that is abstract in nature, and does not have any different meaning. It's not an idiom, hence it needs to be changed, and option A is incorrect. 'An object lesson' is an idiom, it means 'a striking practical example of something'. Here it refers to the 'harsh punishment' that was given to a person, that acts as an example for all criminals, so that they learn a lesson and don't commit crimes, or else they'd be punished harshly too. Hence option B is correct. In 'an abstruse lesson', 'abstruse' means 'difficult to understand'. The phrase literally means 'a lesson that is difficult to understand', it's not an idiom and will not be used here. Also, the meaning is not relevant hence, option C is incorrect. 'Acute' means 'of a severe or intense degree', the phrase 'an acute lesson' means 'a lesson of a severe degree'. It has a literal meaning, it's not an idiom,whereas we require an idiomatic expression, hence option D is incorrect.
