Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows:
[/passage-header]
In this life, there are no gains without pains. Life indeed would be dull if there were no difficulties. Games lose their zest if there is no real struggle and if the result is a foregone conclusion. Both the winner and the loser enjoy a game most when it is closely contested to the end. No victory is a real triumph unless the foe is worthy of the steel, whether we like it or not. Life is one continuous, competitive examination.

...view full instructions

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
The line 'the foe is worthy of the steel,' means that ____________________.

A
The other person is capable of defending himself

B
The opposite team is equipped with deadly arms

C
The enemy shows a lot of fact and flexibility

D
The enemy is weak

Solution

Considering the first option, 'the other person' refers to the foe in the line. Also, worthy of steel means that the person is worth the fight. The words in option A mean the same: capable of defending himself. 'Steel' refers to a strong fight, hence option A is correct.
'Steel' refers to a fight or struggle, it refers to the quality of being strong (nerves of steel). It has a symbolical meaning and not a literal meaning (deadly arms) here. Hence B is incorrect.
'A lot of fact and flexibility' is synonymous to the literal meaning of steel as a material (tensile strength). But, the word here is not to be taken in literal sense, hence C is incorrect.
Similarly, option D does not share the same meaning as the given line, hence it is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Select the meaning of the phrase/idiom.
Hand in glove.

A
In collusion

B
Holding opposite views

C
Warm and secure

D
With friends

Solution

'Hand in glove' is an idiom; it means 'very close with someone or something' (as close as a hand is to a glove).
'In collusion' means 'in secret collaboration with', it means the same as the idiom as both refer to a close relationship. Hence A is correct.
As the idiom refers to a closeness, the words 'holding opposite views' does not give the right meaning.
Option C refers to a feeling of being secure, it does not mean the same as the idiom.
Similarly, 'with friends' does not give the idiom's meaning. Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
