    Raj and Shashi formed a strong ___________.

    The given sentence says, Raj and Sashi formed ________ (something). The word has to be an abstract noun referring to their relationship. The appropriate word which meaningfully completes the sentence is 'friendship'. Hence, option A is correct.
    Both the words, 'friend' and 'friends' cannot be used in the blank as these are common nouns which refer to a person/persons (not an abstract noun). Hence, both options B and C are incorrect.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    From the given sentence, form a  feminine noun from the masculine one by placing a word before or after:

    The boy stood and stared at his grandfather with teary eyes. [Basic]
    Solution

    The answer to the given sentence is Option A, Grandmother.

    As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, by adding a word before or after that. The sentence mentioned has the male gender noun, ‘grandfather’, meaning the person belonging to the generation before one’s father. The exact feminine counterpart for the word, with the same meaning is option A, grandmother.

    Option B is an effective counterpart for Granduncle, while Option C, grandsister isn’t a word which actually exists, making Option A, Grandmother the correct answer.

  • Question 6

    Option A: The word 'dukess' does not exist in standard English language.
    Option C: The word 'dukee' does not exist in standard English language.
    Option D: 'Maiden' was a term used for women before they got married. There is no name given for its male equivalent. Hence this not the correct feminine form of 'duke'.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    From the given sentence, form a feminine noun from the masculine one:

    The group consisted mainly of gentlemen.
    Solution

    The answer to the given sentence would be Option A, Ladies.

    As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun. The sentence speaks about a group of gentlemen, making ‘gentlemen’, the only male gender noun in the sentence. Out of the given options, Option A, Ladies, is the correct answer as it forms the exact counterpart of the noun mentioned. To an extent, option B, Women is also correct but it is option A, which is the most frequently used word, while Spinsters is a term used to refer to a group of unmarried, old ladies and Bachelorettes will mean unmarried ladies, which do not properly match the requirements.

    Thus, option A Is the correct answer.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Write the correct plural form of the word given in the bracket:
    There are many _______ and wildlife parks in Africa. (zoo) [Basic]
    Solution
    If a word ends with a vowel followed by the letter "o", its plural is formed by adding the letter "s" at the end of the word. 
    The word "zoo" ends with the vowel "o" followed by "o". Its plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the word. 
    Hence, the correct option is Option C i.e., zoos. The other options are incorrect as they do not follow the plural formation pattern explained above. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Write the correct plural form of the word given in the bracket:
    How many _________ does this bag weigh ? (kilo)  [Basic]
    Solution
    If a word ends with a consonant followed by the letter "o", its plural is formed by adding either "s" or "es" at the end of the word. Whether we have to add simply "s" or "es" can be known through practice. Hence, it is important to familiarise ourselves with such words and their plural forms. 
    The word "kilo" ends with the consonant "l" followed by "o". Its plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the word. 
    Hence, the correct option is Option B i.e kilos. The other options are incorrect as they do not follow the plural formation pattern explained above. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Write the correct plural form of the word given in the bracket:
    There are many music _______ on YouTube. (video) [Basic]

    The word "video" ends with the vowel "e" followed by "o". Its plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the word. 
    Hence, the correct option is Option A i.e videos.  The other options are incorrect as they do not follow the plural formation pattern explained above.
