Fill in blank (2) with an appropriate word.

A
conceited

B
selfish

C
domineering

D
ego-centric

Solution

The given conversation is about a student, Reema, whose qualities are being discussed by two teachers. The first teacher says that some people are of the opinion that Reema "tries to control others too much". To this, the second teacher agrees, and uses an adjective that describes her controlling nature "I agree, she can be quite...at times", we need to choose the correct adjective from these options. 'Domineering' means 'to rule arbitrarily, to have authority over others', this is quite similar to what the teacher says "tries to control others too much", hence it is the appropriate adjective and option C is correct. 'Conceited' means 'vain, proud, self-important', it does not mean the same as having a controlling behaviour, hence it isn't the correct adjective and option A is incorrect. 'Selfish' means 'to be devoted to only oneself, to care about only oneself', it does not mean the same as her controlling behaviour, hence option B is incorrect. Similarly, 'egocentric' also means selfish, or self-centered, it does not relate to the ongoing conversation, hence option D is correct.

Question 6
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:
When we see the ubiquity of the internet around us today, we find it hard to believe that it is barely
thirty years old. It was invented in the USA to allow various computers to communicate with each
other, an improvement upon the limited possibilities of the physical linking of computers prevalent
then. Begun in 1990. the World Wide Web (www) is among the principal services available on the
internet and has had a major impact on how we use this facility. with almost countless websites in
numerous languages, www has become the most popular content provider in the world, with a host
of search engines to facilitate navigation.
In fact, it is not uncommon today to even measure progress in a region or country, using the yardstick
of internet access among the population. However, in this respect, India presents an interesting case
where the soaring number of users often mask the digital divide between the literate minority and the
large, illiterate masses.
Nonetheless, while educationists now have bold plans to exploit the internet to the hilt towards the
spread of literacy in the country, the availability of hardware and IT skill are a stumbling block,
compounded but the huge number of computer-illiterate that defies all planning within a foreseeable
time frame.
Yet, we can only marvel at the internet for all that it can accomplish at the click of a mouse.

Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence.

He _________ a huge treasure during his travels in the East.

A
Came into

B
Came to

C
Came for

D
Came by

Solution

Phrasal verbs are phrases, formed with a verb and a preposition or an adverb. The meaning thus formed is different from its literal meaning.
Option D: 'Came by' is a phrasal verb. It means 'to gain possession of'.
It fits the sentence in meaning, that 'he gained possession of a huge treasure during his travels'.
Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Came into'. If you 'came into something', it means that something became yours after its previous owner died.
The meaning isn't relevant to the sentence, as it does not mention someone's death.
Option B: 'Came to'. If something came to you, it means that you thought of it or remembered it. For example, 'the idea came to me while I was away on vacation'.
This phrase, too, does not complete the meaning of the sentence.
Option C: 'Came for' is not a phrasal verb and does not complete the sentence in meaning.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
