[passage-header]Read the following passage and the following question.[/passage-header]The dog is a very intelligent animal and it can be trained for many duties. Some dogs work with the police and the army as sentries and trackers, and there are medals that are awarded to dogs for bravery in action. Other dogs act as seeing-eyes for the blind, and some breeds are specially trained for rescue work among mountains and snow. Jobs like herding sheep and cattle and guarding homes are also done by them. Whenever man lives and works in the Arctic Circle, in the desert, in the jungle, in the moors or mountains, the dog is his faithful companion and help. A common mongrel may possess these qualities just as much as the aristocratic bloodhound.

A
Started breathig in and in.

B
Shook its head.

C
Looked at the friends.

D
Made others happy.

Solution

In order to answer the given question, let's read the passage. As we understand, the frog wants to be as big as an ox. The second sentence of the passage states- 'So it began to breathe in and in every time it swallowed more air, it did, in fact, become bigger.' By this sentence, we understand that he started breathing more air to become bigger. Let's have a look at the options now.
Option B - The frog swallowed more air, it didn't 'shook its head'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - The passage doesn't mention anything about frog's friend. In order to become bigger, the frog began breathing more air, it didn't look at the friends. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - The frog wanted to make others happy by becoming as big as an ox. To become big, he swallowed more air, he didn't make others happy. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option A - Yes, he started breathing in and in and swallowed more air to become bigger. Hence option A is correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

Study the picture and answer the following question:
What is the meaning of 'spotted'?

A
Draw

B
Seen

C
Placed

D
Pin pointed

Solution

Looking at the information given in the picture, we have to find out what 'spotted' means. 'The UFO recently spotted over Rajasthan...' explains to us that a person saw it over Rajasthan.
Option A - 'Draw' is a term used when a human or a computer creates a picture or a painting by hands or commands. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Placed' is used for the things or people that have been kept or put in a specific place or post. The UFO is unidentified, and hence, we can't say that it had been placed. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Pin pointed' means identified or found. The witness had just spotted the UFO, he didn't find it. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'Seen' is a synonym of 'spotted' which means to see. Hence, option B is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Answer the given question based on the picture.
What according to you is the object in the picture?

A
A cricket ball

B
A red ball

C
A flying object

D
A planet

Solution

Looking at the given picture, we have to find out what the object is. As the heading of the picture states - 'UFO SPOTTED OVER RAJASTHAN', we can easily understand that the picture is of the UFO. As we all know, that 'UFO' is a scientific abbreviation of 'Unidentified Flying Object', let's find an option that explains UFO in the best manner.
Option A - No, the picture is of a UFO and not a cricket ball. A cricket ball is spherical and the UFO in the picture has rings around it. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B - No, as the picture is in black and white colour, we can't say that it's a red ball. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D - The planets are usually round/spherical and bulgy. The object in the picture is a plate-like structure and has rings as well. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option C - Yes, the object in the picture is 'A flying object', because it's called a UFO 'Unidentified Flying Object'. Hence, option C is correct.
Question 5
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:[/passage-header]The Lion and the Bull:
A Lion prowled about in a pasture where four bulls were grazing. He tried many times to capture them, but each time he failed. Whenever he came near, the four bulls turned and formed a ring, so that no matter which way the lion approached, he was met by their horns.
One day, however, the bulls had a quarrel and would not speak to one another. Each went alone to a separate part of the pasture to graze. This was the moment the lion had been waiting for. One by one he attacked the bulls and made an end of them.
Well-fed and contented, the lion thought, "Those beats would still be grazing had they remembered:
"United we stand; divided we fall."

...view full instructions

What did the lion try to do?

A
eat the grass.

B
capture the four bulls.

C
fight the bull.

D
None of the above.

Solution

In order to find the answer of the given question, let's read the passage. The second sentence of the passage - 'He tried many times to capture them, but each time he failed', explains us that the lion tried to capture the bulls, but he couldn't. Let's look at the options.
Option A - According to the passage, the lion tried to capture the bulls, but he fails. There is nowhere mentioned that he tried to eat the grass. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option C - In order to capture the bulls, he had to face their horns. However, he didn't try to fight the bull. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option B - Yes, the lion tries to capture the four bulls, but he failed every time. Hence, option B is correct.
Option D - Option D is incorrect as option A is the correct answer.
Question 6

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:[/passage-header]The Lion and the Bull:
A Lion prowled about in a pasture where four bulls were grazing. He tried many times to capture them, but each time he failed. Whenever he came near, the four bulls turned and formed a ring, so that no matter which way the lion approached, he was met by their horns.
One day, however, the bulls had a quarrel and would not speak to one another. Each went alone to a separate part of the pasture to graze. This was the moment the lion had been waiting for. One by one he attacked the bulls and made an end of them.
Well-fed and contented, the lion thought, "Those beats would still be grazing had they remembered:
"United we stand; divided we fall."

...view full instructions

The lion could not catch the bulls because the bulls ________.

A
were united

B
ran very fast

C
were very brave

D
none of the above

Solution

Option A is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'Whenever he came near, the four bulls turned and formed a ring, so that no matter which way the lion approached, he was met by their horns.'
This means they were united and always together.
There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options B and C are rhe right answers.
Hence, these are incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the right answer is Option A.
Question 7
1 / -0

Rearrange the following sentence in the correct order:
a. the price of
b. sugar was
c. of honey
d. higher than the price

A
a-d-c-b

B
b-d-c-a

C
a-b-d-c

D
c-a-d-b

Solution

Option C is the correct answer.
Looking at all the options, we can easily understand that this sentence is about the comparison of prices of sugar and honey.
As the subject of the sentence is 'the price', it has to be placed first in the sentence. 'Higher' is a comparative degree of adjective, which is used to compare the price of commodity A with B. Whichever commodity's price is more, should be placed before the word 'higher' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Option C- a-b-d-c- 'The price of sugar was higher than the price of honey.' is grammatically correct. 'The price' is the subject, hence it is placed first in the sentence. 'The price of' can't be combined with 'of honey', because 'of' will be repetitive. Since part a. 'the price of', has 'of' we need to link it with a commodity (sugar). As sugar's price is more than honey's price, 'sugar' will be placed first in the sentence. Hence, option C is correct.
Option A is incorrect -a-d-c-b - 'The price of higher than the price of honey sugar was.' This sentence is grammatically incorrect. 'The price of higher' is wrong as higher is not a commodity. 'The price of honey sugar was' is an incorrect formation because both the commodities are linked without any punctuation or conjunction. As the subject and objects have been jumbled, option A is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect -b-d-c-a- 'Sugar was higher than the price of honey the price of.' The sentence is grammatically incorrect as the subject and object of the sentence aren't in place. 'Sugar was higher', 'sugar' being an object can't be higher; also, we can't compare the commodity 'sugar' with 'the price of honey'. The ending of the sentence is incomplete and abrupt- 'of honey higher than the price'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect - c-a-d-b- 'Of honey the price was higher than the price sugar was.' This sentence sounds incorrect as the object (of honey) and the subject (The price) are interchanged. The auxiliary verb is not at its place as well. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is Option C (a-b-d-c) - The price of sugar was higher than the price of honey.
Question 8
1 / -0

Arrange the following parts (a, b, c, d) to form a meaningful sentence:
a. a major lack of
b. information on
c. there is
d. this subject

A
a-b-d-c

B
c-a-b-d

C
c-b-a-d

D
d-b-a-c

Solution

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It must not be a continuation or extension of a topic.
c is first in the sequence: No phrases other than c start a topic. c starts by saying 'there is'.
c is followed by a: a tells us what is there. It says that there is a major lack.
a is followed by b: b continues by saying that there is a major lack of information.
b is followed by d: d tells us what the lack of information is about. It says that there is a major lack of information on this subject.
Finally, the correct sentence is 'There is a major lack of information on this subject'.
Thus, the correct sequence is c a b d. Hence, B is the correct option.
Question 9
1 / -0

Rearrange the following sentence in the correct order:
a. of Eastern Ghats
b. the landforms
c. are similar to
d. those of the Western Ghats.

A
b-d-c-a

B
d-c-a-b

C
b-c-d-a

D
b-a-c-d

Solution

b is first in the sequence: b starts talking about land-forms. It is the only phrase that introduces a new topic.
b is followed by a: a tells us what land-forms b is talking about. It says that b is talking about the land-forms of Eastern Ghats.
a is followed by c: c continues a's point by saying that the land-forms of Eastern Ghats are similar to something.
c is followed by d: d tells us what that something is. It says that the land-forms of Eastern Ghats are similar to those of the Western Ghats.
Finally, the correct sentence is 'The land-forms of Eastern Ghats are similar to those of the Western Ghats'.
Thus, the correct sequence is b a c d. Hence, D is the correct option.
Question 10
1 / -0

Rearrange the following sentence in the correct order:
a. same as February
b. rainfall in September
c. is usually the
d. the average

A
d-b-c-a

B
d-a-c-b

C
c-b-d-a

D
a-b-c-d

Solution

The given sentence starts with an adjective- 'Average'. Let's find the subject of the sentence first. It is 'rainfall'. Usually, we place the adjectives before the nouns/subject in a sentence, like - 'The average rainfall in September...'
Here, a comparison of the amount of rainfall can be seen between different months - September and February.
Hence the correct option is - A - d-b-c-a (The average rainfall in September is usually the same as February). Here, d. The average, is an adjective which needs to be placed before a noun. b. rainfall in September, 'rainfall' is the noun placed after the adjective, to link the clause, we will use the option with a linking verb - c. is usually the, and to complete the comparison, we will end the sentence with a. same as February.
Option B is incorrect- d-a-c-b- because 'the average same as February' is grammatically incorrect. Here, the adjective is used without the main subject, hence it is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect- c-b-d-a- 'is usually the rainfall in September...' We usually start a question with an auxiliary verb like 'is'. Looking at the options we clearly understand that it's not an interrogative sentence.
Option D is incorrect -a-b-c-d - 'same as February rainfall in September is usually the the average'. 'The the' is repetitive and that makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. Also, the main subject is not in it's place.
