Question 6

B

C

D
none of the above

Solution

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together. Coordinating conjunctions allow you to join words, phrases, and clauses of equal grammatical rank in a sentence. The most common coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. Correlative conjunctions are pairs of conjunctions that work together. Some examples are either/or, neither/nor, and not only/but also. Subordinating conjunctions join independent and dependent clauses. Subordinating conjunction can signal a cause-and-effect relationship, a contrast, or some other kind of relationship between the clauses. Common subordinating conjunctions are because, since, as, although, though, while, and whereas. The given sentence requires the use of correlative conjunction in order to join subjects carrying equal weight in the sentence i.e.Ajay and Vijay. 'Both' refers to the whole pair and is equivalent to "one and the other". The combination both/and indicates that the two items are equally presented and included. Hence Option C is correct. Option A can be ruled out as 'or' indicates that there is a choice and only one can be selected while in the sentence 'both' has been inferred. Option B is ruled out as well. Since 'nor' is usually used with 'neither' in order to indicate that neither of the two choices can be selected. In other words, neither choice is available, the option is discarded. Option D is incorrect as a correct option is already present.

Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
No sooner did I hear the bell ____ I sat out.

A
When

B
Then

C
Hardly

D
Than

Solution

Correlative Conjunction is always used in pairs and denote equality, and show the relationship between ideas expressed in different parts of a sentence - and thus make the joining tighter and more emphatic. Some examples are either/or, neither/nor, and not only/but also. The structure no sooner is used to talk about something that happens immediately after something else. It is often used with the past perfect, and usually followed by than. In the given sentence it is inferred that I heard the bell and immediately I stepped out. These two activities take place almost simultaneously. There is no real time difference between them. Thus option D is correct. Option B can also be ruled out as 'Then' indicates 'in that case'. We use 'then' with 'if' to talk about cause and effect but it cannot be used in association with 'no sooner' which is used to talk about something that happens immediately after something else. 'Hardly' is followed by when and it is used to combine or rewrite sentences denoting two simultaneously past actions. Thus option C in discarded as in the sentence two simultaneously present actions have been combined. We can use 'when' to introduce a single completed event that takes place in the middle of a longer activity or event. In these cases, we usually use a continuous verb in the main clause to describe the background event. Thus option A is incorrect as it cannot be used along with 'no sooner'
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank using a suitable option.
Work hard, lest you ____ fail.

A
may

B
can

C
should

D
would

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because “should” is used to indicate what is probable, here failure on not working hard.
Option A is incorrect becaus although “may” expresses possibility, shall is used to express a strong intent or assertion in the future tense, and “should” is the past tense of shall.
Option B is incorrect because “can” expresses capacity or capability , here to fail, which is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because “would” is the past tense of will, which indicates certainty, hence incorrect here.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to fill the blank:
You cannot cast your vote _______ you show your voting card. [Intermediate]

A
unless

B
although

C
as if

D
or

Solution

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together. Subordinating conjunctions join independent and dependent clauses. A subordinating conjunction can signal a cause-and-effect relationship, a contrast, or some other kind of relationship between the clauses. Common subordinating conjunctions are because, since, as, although, though, while, and whereas. Sometimes an adverb, such as until, after, or before can function as a conjunction. Unless is a subordinating conjunction.Unless means 'except if'.We use unless to say that there may be an exception and that this exception will change the situation. In the given sentence it is inferred that you can only cast your vote in a particular situation which is if you show your voting card. Thus Option A is correct. 'Although means "in spite of the fact that...". Thus option B can be ruled out. 'As if' as a conjunction is used to say how something seems from the information known. It is a more formal way of saying like, and is used in the same way as 'as though'.Thus Option C is incorrect. Option D can be ruled out as 'or' indicates that there is a choice and only one can be selected while in the sentence it is clearly portrayed that you can only cast your vote in a particular situation which is if you show your voting card i.e. there are no other alternative.
