  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate antonym:
    Safe
    Solution
    • The answer is 'unsafe' because the prefix 'un' means 'not' even though the prefix 'in' in option A means the same ('in' is the negative prefix in Latin whereas 'un' is taken from Old English). The suffix 'less' in option B means 'without' and the prefix 'mis' in D means 'wrong', both of which don't convey the opposite of 'safe'.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    Choose the correct synonym for the word 'mastered':
    Solution
    A synonym is a word or a phrase that is similar in meaning to another word/phrase.
    The word 'mastered' means 'acquired complete knowledge or skill in'.
    Option B: 'Learnt' means 'gained or acquired knowledge or skill (in something) by study or experience, or being taught'.
    So, you can see that 'learn' means the same as 'mastered'.
    Hence option B is correct.

    Option A: 'Tried' means 'make an attempt or effort to do something'.
    Option C: 'Taught' means 'impart knowledge or instruct (someone) how to do something'.
    Option D: 'Created' means 'to bring into existence'.
    These words do not mean the same as 'mastered'. Hence, options A, C and D are wrong.

    Which word in the passage means "scare"?

    Fill the appropriate simple past or past perfect for blank [14].
    Solution
    As the given passage is in the past tense, we must fill in the blank using the past tense of the verb 'hear'.
    'Hardly had I entered the house when I _____ the mirror break.' The 'had' explains that the action of entering the house took place before the breaking of the mirror. Hence, the first half of the sentence is in the past perfect tense and the second half of the sentence should be in the simple past tense. 
    Option A - 'Hear' is the original form of the verb and can't be used in past tense. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Heared' is an incorrect word. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Had heard' is the past perfect form and can't be used in simple past tense. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Heard' is the past form of the verb 'hear' and can be used to frame a sentence in the simple past tense. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'Hardly had I entered the house when I heard the mirror break.'

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct synonym of the given words:
    Assembly
    Solution
    Assembly is the action of gathering together for a common purpose. Option A. Gathering also means the same. It is a meet held for a common purpose and thus they are synonyms.
    Option B. Means to ask for information about someone or something.
    Option C. Means the manner in which a person behaves or the manner in which an organization or activity is managed or directed.
    Option D. Means a person or a group of people who have been charged of a crime.

    Option A. 'foot' is the lower extremity of the leg or the lowest part of some object.
