    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Read the passage and answer the question that follows:[/passage-header]A donkey and a rooster lived peacefully together in a farmyard. One day, a hungry lion passed by. His eyes brightened at the sight of the plump donkey, and he thought of the fine meal in store for him. But just as the lion was about to pounce on the donkey, the rooster began to crow. Now, it is said that nothing a lion hates more than the sound of a cock-a-doodle-doo. Perhaps, it is true, for the lion turned and fled at the sound of the rooster’s crowing. The donkey laughed. “Why, the lion is a coward! The mighty king of beasts runs from a rooster.” And the donkey felt so bold that he began to chase the lion. He had not gone very far, however, when the lion turned. With a great roar, he leapt upon the donkey. The rooster, watching from the farmyard, said, “Alas! My poor friend did not realize what he could not do.” False confidence often leads to misfortune.[passage-footer]

    [passage-header]Read the following passage and answer the question given after it.[/passage-header]Nehru was a many-sided personality. He enjoyed reading and writing books, as much as he enjoyed fighting political and social evils or residing tyranny. In him, the scientist and the humanist were held in perfect balance. While he kept looking at special problems from a scientific standpoint, he never forgot that we should nourish the total man. As a scientist, he refused to believe in a benevolent power interested in men's affairs. But as a self proclaimed non-believer, he loved affirming his faith in life and the beauty of nature. Children, he adored. Unlike Wordsworth, he did not see them as trailing clouds of glory from the recent sojourn in heaven. He saw them as blossoms of promise and renewal, the only hope for mankind.

    1 / -0
    Select the most effective transitional word/phrase to correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    Matthew always studies. Also, he gets perfect grades in his exams.
    Solution
    From the statement we understand two things. The first is that Matthew always studies and the second is that he gets perfect grades. Thus, we can say that Mathew always studies and as a result he gets perfect grades. Thus, the transition word connecting the two points must express result or conclusion.
    Option A is incorrect. 'Also' expresses addition and thus, it cannot be the answer.
    Option B is correct. 'Therefore' expresses result or conclusion and so it is the right answer.
    Option C is correct. 'However' expresses contradiction and so, it is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'In spite of' expresses limitation or opposition and so, it is also incorrect.
