Question 1
1 / -0

Identify the subject of the following sentence.

Read the works of such thinkers as Bertrand Russell, Vivekananda and Aurobindo Ghosh for guidance.

A
the works

B
the works of such thinkers

C
such thinkers as Bertrand Russell, Vivekananda and Aurobindo Ghosh

D
Implied subject 'you'

Solution

Option D is the correct answer. The sentence begins with the verb read, indicating a command directed at someone, presumably the implied subject, the pronoun you. Option A is a verb and cannot be a subject. Option B includes the verb with the phrase the works which is the object of the preposition of. Option C contains part of the matter said to someone, here, the subject. Thus, it is part of the predicate. Therefore, Options A,B and C are all incorrect.
Question 2

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the following conversation and answer the given question:[/passage-header]Neera: Hi, Amina! __(1)__
Amina: Well, __(2)__ I suppose. I mean, the starting time's great.

Neera: Why's that?
Amina: It doesn't start until noon, so I don't have to get up early, and I needn't set my alarm and all that.

Neera: Cool! But then, you have to work late, right?
Amina: Yeah, __(3)__. Also, we aren't allowed to leave till the last customer's gone, and sometimes that's around midnight!

Neera: __(4)__!
Amina: And we are supposed to speak really carefully to customers and say things like "Have a nice day now".

Neera: Yuck!
Amina: And we have to wear stupid hats!

Neera: __(5)__.
Amina: The worst thing is you don't get a moment's rest to sit down or anything.

Neera: Mmmmm... __(6)__
Amina: No, hopefully, I'll find something better, and I'll move on.

Fill in blank (3) with the most suitable phrase from the options given below.

A
That's the coolest thing

B
That's the down side

C
That's really convenient

D
That's the big plus

Solution

Out of the four options, option B) that's the downside is the only statement that expresses the subject's unhappiness. The following sentence is about the subject not being able to leave until midnight, and that's our hint. After reading that sentence, things get easier as we realize that we need a statement expressing unhappiness. The other three options are positive phrases. So, the correct option is B) That's the downside.
Question 3
1 / -0

The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Pick the incorrect word and the correction from the given options that completes the sentence correctly.

We are in dangerous times, because they have too much freedom.

A
Incorrect= we, Correct= I

B
Incorrect= are, Correct= is

C
Incorrect = they, Correct = we

D
Incorrect= We, correct= Them

Solution

Options A) and B) are wrong because the sentence talks about a group of people, indicated by the words 'we' and 'are' at the beginning of the sentence.
Option D) is incorrect because the sentence becomes grammatically incorrect. So, the best answer is option C) where 'they' is replaced by 'we' so the sentence becomes 'We are in dangerous times, because we have too much freedom."
Question 4
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the following conversation and answer the given question:[/passage-header]Neera: Hi, Amina! __(1)__

Fill in blank (2) with the most suitable phrase from the options given below.

A
It's not all that bad

B
Not all good

C
It's really bad

D
I'm totally enjoying it

Solution

The phrase 'I suppose' is used, which implies you are not completely sure.
So, option A) It's not all that bad is a more suitable answer compared to the other options which are more assertive phrases.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
The teacher _______ tribute to the freedom fighters during the Independence Day celebration at school.

A
Praised

B
Promised

C
Paid

D
Prided

Solution

When it comes to offering tribute, paying means to acknowledge the deserved honour. Tribute and praise are synonyms, hence Option A is incorrect. Pride is not related to tribute and one does not promise tribute., making B and D wrong. Hence Option C is correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows:
[/passage-header]His disqualification from the Olympics turned out to be __(1)__ as he was to realize soon. By unlucky coincidence, the very same week his father was in __(2)__, and he turned his full attention on getting him __(3)__.

Fill in blank no. (3):

A
Back on his feet

B
A swanky tablet

C
Into practice

D
Sweet revenge

Solution

To get 'back on one's feet' is a phrase which means to recuperate from an illness or a setback. The correct answer is A) Back on his feet. None of the other options is related to recovering from an illness.
Question 7
1 / -0

What are these phrases commonly related to?
Come up against, Face up to, Resolve, Run into ___________

A
An ambition

B
A problem

C
A smell

D
A solution
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the best option to complete the sentence.

The heat was unbearable, and he ____ longingly at the ice cream.

A
Peeked

B
Gazed

C
Glanced

D
Sulked

Solution

The correct answer here is Option B) - 'Gazed'. This is because this word satisfies the rules of proper grammatical convention the best and follows the tense of the sentence as well (in this case, primarily past). In the heat, ice cream is something that is very desirable; and the word we use in case of looking at things with desire ('longingly') is gaze. Peek and Glance are also looks but in a quick, fleeting way; and sulk means to be upset. All other options are incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

Complete the gap in the letter with the best response from the options given.

Hi Jen,
..................... (45) ..................... my latest plan now that I'm bored with my job as a waitress. I'm going to write a book about my experiences in getting a good job. ..................... (46) ..................... (47)...................... One of my friends is coming to Newcastle next week. ..................... (48) ..................... if you could show him around a bit?

48. .....................

A
Do you have the time

B
I was wondering

C
If its not too much trouble

D
Could you be able to

Solution

Option B) is the best fit for blank #48, making it the correct answer. This is because it is the most tonally appropriate of all the options and follows the phrase after the blank i.e 'if you could' appropriately; it is a casual yet polite way of asking if the favour is feasible. All the other options are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line.
Pick out the incorrect word and the correction that completes the sentence correctly.

You must be as true in our conduct and thoughts as a brick that supports a building is true.

A
Incorrect= our, Correct= we

B
Incorrect = You, Correct = we

C
Incorrect= thoughts, Correct= thought

D
Incorrect= is, Correct= are

Solution

The sentence has words like 'our', 'thoughts' which indicate that we are talking about many people or in plural. The first word of the sentence 'you' is incorrect as the remaining part of the sentence is in plural. So, the correct answer is B) Incorrect=you, Correct= we.
