1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the passage and accordingly, fill in the blank:
[/passage-header]A popular [1] film star driving his car rashly at top speed was chased by the police, captured [2] and put in jail.

The synonym of the word underlined at [2] is ___________.

A
Released

B
Arrested

C
Arrived

D
Returned

Solution

A synonym is a word/phrase that means the same as another word/phrase.
Option B: The word 'captured' means 'take into one's possession or control by force'.
'Arrested' means 'take someone (forcibly) by legal authority and take them into custody'.
As you can see, 'arrested' means the same as 'captured'.
Both mean 'to take someone into possession/custody by force'.
Hence, 'arrested' is the synonym of 'captured'. Hence, option B is correct.

Option A: 'Released' means the opposite of 'captured'. It means 'to set someone/something free'.
Option C: 'Arrived' means 'to reach a place at the end of a journey'.
Option D: 'Returned' means 'to go back to a place or person'.
These words do not mean the same as 'captured'.
Hence, options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 2
1 / -0

Select the most appropriate antonym:
Safe

A
Insafe

B
Safeless

C
Unsafe

D
Missafe
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 3
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
[/passage-header]Parveen had mastered [1] many skills. His accomplishments [2] were numerous. He was in constant pursuit [3] of his goals and worked towards them in complete earnestness [4] till he could triumphantly [5] announce his success to the world.

Choose the correct synonym for the word 'mastered':

A
Tried

B
Learnt

C
Taught

D
Created

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.
Question 4
1 / -0

Identify the correct homophone to complete the sentence:
________ the only ones left on the island.

A
Their

B
They're

C
There

D
All the above

Solution

Option B: “They’re” is the shortened form of “They are”. The sentence becomes meaningful with this option. “They are the only ones left on the island.” Hence, this is the correct option.

Option A: “their” is used to indicate possession or ownership, for example, “They went in their car.”. This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: “there” represents a position, for example, “He was standing there.”. This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D: Since only option A is correct, thus, this option is incorrect.

...view full instructions

Fill the appropriate simple past or past perfect for blank [14].

A
hear

B
heard

C
heared

D
had heard

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.'
