Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:
The landlord ____________ the tenant for not paying rent.

A
evicted

B
posted

C
forced

D
shooed

Solution

Option A is the correct answer as the word 'evicted' means to 'forcefully leave someone or throw out'. As the tenant didn't pay the rent, the landlord forced the tenant to legally vacate.
Option B is incorrect as 'posted' means to employ or keep someone on duty. It is not right for this sentence.
Option C is incorrect because 'forced' doesn't complete the sentence's meaning properly.
Option D is incorrect because 'shooed' means to drive away. 'Shooed' is generally used for animals hence it's not the appropriate word for this sentence.
Question 6
1 / -0

Identify the meaning of the given phrase / idiom:
Clown around

A
Make others feel silly and stupid

B
Be an object of ridicule

C
Join a circus company

D
Behave in a silly way

Solution

Option D is the correct answer because 'clown around' means 'to join someone in acting silly' or 'to act in a silly way'. Thus, option D is the most appropriate answer for this sentence.
Option A is incorrect because 'make feel small' means 'to make others feel silly and stupid'. Thus, option A is not the correct meaning of the given idiom.
Option B is incorrect because 'be an object of ridicule' means 'to be subjected to someone's cruel jokes or be made fun of in a hurtful manner. Thus, option B is not the correct meaning of the given idiom.
Option C is obviously incorrect since the word 'clown' in the idiom is not meant literally.
Question 7
1 / -0

Select the meaning of the phrase/idiom.
Be in someone's shoes.

A
Wear shoes that do not belong to self

B
Be like them

C
To pretend to be somebody else

D
Imagining oneself to be in another person's situation

Solution

The above mentioned phrase describes a situation wherein we need to put ourselves in someone else's situation to understand them better. A feeling of empathy is stated so that we completely come to know what the other person is going through. Option D, thus, is the correct option, as it says "imagining oneself to be in another person's situation."
While Option A describes the theoretical meaning of the given phrase of wearing the shoes of others; Option B states to be like them, which doesn't match the meaning of the phrase. Option C stands incorrect as pretending and empathy are two different aspects.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable word from the options given below:
The workers angrily voiced their _________ to the management.

A
preservation

B
resentment

C
irritation

D
resistance

Solution

Option B is the correct answer as 'resentment' means 'the feeling of bitterness for unfair treatment'. It is relevant to the situation described "workers angrily voiced their resentment". Hence option B is correct.
'Preservation' means 'the act of protecting something'. This meaning isn't relevant to the sentence, also, 'preservation' cannot be 'voiced'. Hence option A is incorrect.
'Irritation’ means ‘being annoyed’, it refers to slight anger whereas the adverb "angrily" does not suggest slight anger. Hence option C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because 'resistance' means 'refusal to accept something', using this word, the meaning of the sentence is not clear.
Question 9
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the passage carefully and answer the following question:[/passage-header]$$1$$ One would imagine that at the very first sight of the panther, deer, antelopes, and its other preys would just run for their lives. But nothing of this sort happens. They all stand their ground and make such a loud noise that the panther is left with no other choice but to leave quietly. I have seen a tiny chital baby standing in the middle of an opening in the forest, stamping its feet on the ground and shooing away a tiger. With the white of its erect tail showing, it kept up its shrill call until the tiger made itself scarce. No tiger in its senses would attempt to catch such an impertinent brat, just as you would not dream of catching an offending crow cawing away in your verandah.
$$2$$ While the panther sticks to cover and hugs the edge of the forest, the game animals, on the other hand, like to assemble right out in open vast grazing grounds. Open spaces, which the panther carefully avoids, are what the game animals deliberately seek.
$$3$$ It is difficult to describe the pandemonium kicked up by various animals when they spot or suspect a panther around. The chital strikes a shrill note, the kakar emits a deafening bark and the sambar rings a bell. The peacock on its perch, the jungle fowl on the ground, and the monkey on treetops, all join in the chorus of condemnation.

1 / -0

Select the meaning of the given phrase / idiom.
'Be the cat's whiskers.'

A
Think of oneself as a difficult person

B
Think one is better than others

C
Think one is elegant like a cat

Think one is honest
