Fill in the blank numbered (4):

A
stone throw

B
stoning throw

C
stone's throw

D
throwing stone

Solution

An idiomatic phrase is a phrase that has a different meaning from its literal meaning. In the line "even though it was only a...away from his office", we need to place a phrase. From these options, 'stone's throw' is an idiom that means 'a very short distance', a stone when thrown does not fall very far, hence this meaning. This makes option C correct. 'Stone throw', 'stoning throw', throwing stone' are not idiomatic phrases, 'stoning' means to throw stones on someone or something, and 'throwing stone' literally means 'to throw a stone', hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the word from the options that can be used with all of the given words:
Brotherly, first, true, unrequited.

A
Feelings

B
Love

C
Friend

D
Relationship

Solution

The word 'unrequited' means 'unanswered' or 'not reciprocated'.
Option A is incorrect. Feelings cannot be used with first. 'First feelings' makes no sense. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option B is correct. Love can be used with all of the given words. Thus, it is the correct option.
Option C is incorrect. Friend cannot be used with 'brotherly' and 'unrequited'. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. Relationship cannot be used with 'unrequited' and thus, it cannot be the answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the WORD THAT best fits the blank.

He was thought ____ the disease when he was in Bangladesh.

A
to catch

B
catching

C
to have caught

D
to caught

Solution

The correct answer here is Option C) - 'To have caught'. This is because this phrase satisfies the rules of proper grammatical convention the best and follows the tense of the sentence as well (in this case, past). The answer is to have caught as we use the infinitive form of the verb (to + root verb) when one verb is already conjugated ('was'). Thus, are to have caught is the correct answer. All other options are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank to complete the conversation.
A : What are you doing tonight ?
B : I'm not sure, I _____ to the cinema.

A
'll go

B
would go

C
might go

D
have go

45. .....................

A
I'm writing to inform you

B
Just to let you know of

C
This is to let the reader know of

D
Are ya listening ? I gotta tell you

Solution

Option B) is the best fit for blank #45, 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 'my latest plan' appropriately; not only is it a polite and proper start but it also retains the desire to convey information. All the other options are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the best word/phrase to complete the sentence.

Sham's father ordered him ______ out late again.

A
not to stay

B
not stay

C
not staying

D
not to staying

Solution

The correct answer here is Option A) - 'Not to stay'. This is because this phrase satisfies the rules of proper grammatical convention the best and follows the tense of the sentence as well (in this case, primarily present). The answer is not to stay as with orders and negation, we use the infinitive form of the verb (to + root verb) when one verb is already conjugated ('ordered). Thus, not to stay is the correct answer All other options are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct word/phrase.

The poor investors were left ________ when the company went bankrupt.

A
high and mighty

B
high and tight

C
high and low

D
high and dry

Solution

The correct answer here is Option A) - 'High and Dry'. This is because to be left 'high and dry' means to be left without resources or any help, and in the context of this sentence, we see how this was the case for the investors after the company collapsed. All the other options are inappropriate.
Question 8
1 / -0

CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE PHRASE TO REPLACE THE UNDERLINED PHRASE IN THE KIND OF WRITING SPECIFIED.

I am unhappy with the service I received at your hotel recently. (An email to the manager of a hotel)

A
I am annoyed

B
I am disgraced

C
I am dissatisfied

D
I am grossed out

Solution

Since the question specifically asks us to replace the underlined phrase, i.e 'I am unhappy', the replacement must be very close in meaning and sense to it. Option C) is the closest in terms of meaning as it expresses the original sentiment of displeasure and unhappiness reflected in the original phrase. Grossed out and disgraced are different emotions entirely.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the best word or phrase which best completes the sentence. Choose from (A)-(D).

Our friends are very __________ on camping holidays.

A
eager

B
enthusiastic

C
interested

D
keen
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the best word or phrase which best completes the sentence. Choose from (A)-(D).

She used to __________ her living by delivering vegetables to college hostels.

A
earn

B
gain

C
get

D
win

Solution

The correct answer here is Option A) - 'earn'. This is because to 'earn one's living' is a phrase which means to make money by doing something, which in this case is delivering vegetables. All other options are incorrect.
