  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Which option contains the best topic sentence?
    Solution
    The best topic sentence is Option B. A topic sentence depicts the overall idea of the paragraph in brief and here, in Option B, the idea that various factors have made Martin Isle the most polluted island in the world is made clear very effectively. Options A, C and D are incorrect as they only focus on pollution in the island but do not discuss about the factors promoting pollution in the island.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Dear Rohan (1) I hope this letter finds you in best of spirits (2) Sorry I have not been writing as regularly as I should (3) 
    Where would you include a line gap?
    Solution
    According to the accepted format of a letter, be it formal or informal, it is customary to leave a line or a gap between the introductory salutation (Dear Rohan) and the body of the letter (I hope this.....). Hence option A is the correct answer.
    In the content part of the letter, we usually leave gaps while segregating them into paragraphs. As this is not the case in the given context options B and C are incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect because while we should leave a gap after line 1, we needn't do so after lines 2 and 3.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    In an informal letter, a line gap is not placed between which of the following?
    Solution
    An informal letter is a letter that is written in a personal fashion. 
    One can write it to relatives or friends. But it should not be written in business, professions or to colleagues. 
    A line-gap should not be provided while providing building number and town/city name of the sender in an informal letter. Thus, option D is the correct answer. Rest of the options can have a line-gap in an informal letter. 
  • Question 4

    Based on the notes given, fill in blank [1].
    Solution
    The give clues in the context indicate that Chanakya belonged to a poor Brahmin family. To belong to a family you can either be born to it or be adopted into it or may grow up in that family. From the given options we can infer that option A "was born" suits the given context best. 
    Options B, C and D are incorrect as the adjective "educated" and the nouns "shrewd" and "diplomat" must take a verb to be grammatically correct. Also, the clues given in the notes guide us differently as to the placement of these words in the passage.

    Solution
    Global warming is an ongoing phenomenon and hence it is still causing disturbances, thus option D. can be rejected since it indicates that global warming was a thing of the past and does not cause any such ecological disturbance anymore. Thus, according to point no. 2 of the given passage, option B. 'is causing ecological' is the correct answer.

    The adjective "shrewd" indicates someone astute or having or showing sharp powers of judgement. The context refers to the quality of Chanakya in terms of politics, as mentioned in the given notes. Thus, option C is correct.
    Option A is incorrect as "was born" is not an adjective that can describe a persons political ability.
    Option B is incorrect as the adjective "educated" is used to indicate the place where one is educated.
    Option D is incorrect as the noun "diplomat"cannot be used as an adjective. 
  • Question 9

    ...view full instructions

    Fill in blank [5] with a suitable option:
    Solution
    The given notes clearly tell us that Chanakya wrote a book called Arthashastra. Hence, option B is clearly the correct answer. Also, the past participle form of the verb describes an action taken regarding a book. The other options are nonsensical and hence, are incorrect. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    Global Warming:
    - A threat
    - Caused ecological threat to many countries
    - We must check it
    - Otherwise it will be too late.
    Global warming ________$$[1]$$ the world. It ________$$[2]$$ disturbances. There is a ________$$[3]$$ countries and islands. If we want to save our planet, we ________$$[4]$$. We have to use methods to create ecological balance otherwise it ________$$[5]$$.

    ...view full instructions

    Read the information and fill in blank [3].
    Solution
    The context gives us clues clearly. Hence, from the given notes we can infer that "global warming" is a threat and not just a disturbance. Thus, we can rule out option B.
    Moving forward, "threatening many" cannot be grammatically placed with the article "a" as given in with the blank in the context. Thus, A is also incorrect. Moving to option D, "way to check" countries and islands makes no sense. Hence, this is also incorrect.
    So, only option C makes sense here. Global warming is a "threat to many" countries and islands. Thus, C is the correct answer.
