  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the word that can be substituted for the given phrase.
    Items to be considered at a meeting
    Solution
    Option D is the correct answer because “agenda” means a list of items to be discussed at a formal meeting, hence it is the most suitable substitute for the given statement. 
    Option A is incorrect because “wardrobe” means a collection of clothes or a large cupboard that has all the clothes stored, hence it is not related to the given statement . 
    Option B is incorrect because “catalogue” means a complete list of items, typically one in alphabetical or other systematic order, so an agenda involves the use of a catalogue often. 
    Option C is incorrect because “gist” means the substance or general meaning of a speech or text,hence it is incorrect.

    Select the correct meaning of the given phrase/idiom:
    Be in someone's shoes

    Option D is correct. 'Imagine oneself to be in another person's situation' is close in meaning to the required meaning. Thus, it is the correct option.
    Options A, B and C do not have the required meaning. Thus, they are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE PHRASE TO REPLACE THE UNDERLINED PHRASE IN THE KIND OF WRITING SPECIFIED.

    I think the best place to go for a vacation in December is Kerala. (A letter to your friend)
    Solution
    Since the question specifically asks us to replace the underlined phrase, i.e 'I think', the replacement must be very close in meaning and sense to it. Option D) is the closest in terms of meaning as it expresses the personal opinion/preference/judgement reflected in the original phrase, while politely signifying that this is a personal preference.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:

    Passing this examination is not ___________; work hard.
    Solution
    Phrasal verbs are idiomatic phrases or expressions that have meanings different from the literal meanings. They are formed with a verb and a preposition (or another element).

    Option C: 'A child's play' is an idiomatic phrase that means 'a task which is easily accomplished'. It forms a complete and meaningful sentence here. Hence option C is correct.

    Options A, B and D:
    'A child's game', 'a child's dream' and 'a child's race' are not idiomatic phrases. They have literal meanings that do not form complete meaningful sentences here. Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Frame a Wh question that corresponds to the following answer:
    Tony gave me the key.
    Solution
    'When' is used to ask about the time of something.
    'Why' is used to ask about the reason for something.
    'How' is used to ask about the manner / condition / quality of something.
    'Who' is used to ask the name of a person responsible for some action.
    Here, the answer mentions the name of the person who 'gave' the key. Therefore, the correct option is: Who gave you the key?
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Frame a Wh question to get the following answer:
    I borrowed this money from Nikhil.
    Solution
    The person who frames the question will be referred to as the questioner.

    Option A: In the given statement, 'this' acts as a demonstrative adjective, it points out at something the questioner can see in front of him, or is aware of. Hence it's not logical for the questioner to ask 'what' in this sentence.
    Option B: 'Why' asks for a reason, but the answer "I borrowed this money..." does not answer for a reason.
    Option C: 'What' addresses a thing, but the sentence ends with 'from'. The sentence refers to 'Nikhil' in the answer as a thing, but is not correct.
    Hence A, B and C are wrong.

    Option D: 'Whom... from?' asks a logical question, the answer to which is 'from Nikhil'.
    Hence D is the correct option.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Frame appropriate question using the given words:
    Ask about television. (when/invent?) ___________
    Solution
    Television was invented in the 20th century. It presents a past action.
    Option D: 'When was...invented?' is in simple past tense in passive voice. The sentence is in passive voice since the subject 'television' experiences the action 'was invented'.
    The sentence is complete and meaningful, hence option D is correct.

    Option A: 'When television was invented' is not in the correct word order.
    The correct word order for an interrogative sentence in the simple past tense (passive voice) is:
    'Question word (when) + helping verb (was) + subject (television) + main verb (invented)?'
    Option B: 'Had television invented' is in active voice. It states an action performed by the subject 'television'.
    Option C: 'When ... had been invented' is in past perfect tense. Also, the words are not in order.
    Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
