...view full instructions

Fill in the blank [26] choosing the correct option.

A
Will remain closed

B
Will be close

C
Has close

D
Was closed

Solution

As the notice is talking about something that is going to happen in the future, Option A, 'will remain closed', is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect in itself as 'will be close' is wrong usage of the future tense. The correct usage would be 'will be closed'.
Option C is incorrect because it is the incorrect usage of the present perfect tense because 'has' needs to be followed by the past participle of a verb and not the base form.
Since the notice requires future tense to be used and not simple past, option D is incorrect as well.

[/passage-header]THE NINTH CLOUD HOUSING SOCIETY, DELHI
NOTICE

...view full instructions

Fill in the blank [27] choosing the correct option.

A
Making

B
Installation

C
Installing

D
Preparation

Solution

Option B is the correct answer as the sentence requires a noun to make grammatical sense since it is followed by 'of' and installation is a noun.
Since the notice does not give us any information as to the making or preparation of the musical fountain, options A and D are incorrect.
As 'installing' is a verb, using it in blank [27], option C has to be considered grammatically incorrect.

Fill in blank [28] with a suitable option:

A
Regretted

B
Is regretted

C
Will be regretted

D
Has been regretted

Solution

Since the notice is written to convey information at present, and passive voice is used, the verb form should be is/are+past participle of root verb. (is+regretted). Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.

A
Durga Puja Mahotsava-$$20$$XX

B
The IIT Guwahati Sports Ground

C
Durga Puja Association of Assam

D

Solution

The first part of the poster should be the title according to this particular layout. Nothing can be more appropriate to be the title of the poster than the name of the event, thus giving the reader a quick understanding of the poster itself. Hence option A is the correct answer.
Options B, C and D are incorrect because from the given passage we know that 'IIT Guwahati Sports Ground' is where the event is taking place, 'Durga Puja Association of Assam' is organising the event and 'Tata Tea Estate, Guwahati' is the main sponsor of the event. None of these would qualify for an appropriate title.

Given are a few details on Sachin Tendulkar, the great cricketer and a bio-sketch, based on this given information is also given. Complete the bio-sketch blank [22] with the help of the most appropriate option.

A
Has proudly received

B
Is the proud receipt

C
Is the proud recipient

D
Has been proudly received

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because the sentence requires a noun to complete it and be grammatically sound. A recipient is a person or thing that receives or is awarded something and the word recipient is normally followed by 'of' as in the given sentence.
Option A is incorrect because the option includes the past tense of the verb receive, while the sentence requires a noun.
Receipt means a written or printed statement acknowledging that something has been paid for or that goods have been received. Keeping this meaning in mind it would be grammatically incorrect if option B is used in blank [22], making it an incorrect answer.
Even option D is dealing with the verb form of the word and thus would make it a grammatical misfit if used in the sentence. Hence option D is incorrect as well. If this option was to be correct it has to be followed by a 'with' in the sentence instead of an 'of'.

...view full instructions

Choose the correct option for [44].

A
Venue

B
Date and Time

C
Both A and B

D
None of the above

Solution

A poster is generally made in this order:
1. The name of the organisers
2. A graphic image that represents the poster
3. The heading
4. The message/details of the event
5. The date, place and time when the event will be held
6. Contact details of a person for attending the event

Hence, blank 44 is filled with the Date, Venue (place) and Time.
Option C: The Date, Time and Venue are generally mentioned in one line itself. Hence options A and B are both used in blank 44.
Hence C is incorrect.
So, options A and B are both individually incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in C.

...view full instructions

Choose the correct option for [42].

A
Date, Time and Venue

B
Message

C
Heading / Slogan / Event details

D
None of the above

Solution

A poster is generally made in this order:
1. The name of the organisers
2. A graphic image that represents the poster
3. The heading
4. The message/details of the event
5. The date, place and time when the event will be held
6. Contact details of a person for attending the event

Hence, blank 42 is filled with 'Heading / Slogan / Event details'.
So, option C is correct.
Option A: The Date, Time and Venue are mentioned later in the poster. It does not come immediately after the image. Otherwise, the meaning of the poster would not be made clear, skipping directly to the date and venue. Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: The 'message' follows the heading/slogan. It does not come third in position (i.e., blank 42). Hence B is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in C.

Choose the correct option for [2]:

A
was born in England

B
was born in 1642 in a small village of Woolsthorpe

C
born in 1642 in a small village of Woolsthorpe

D
none of the above

Solution

The date and place of Sir Isaac Newton's birth has been mentioned specifically in the passage: "1642 in a small village of Woolsthorpe"
Option A does not mention the date of birth and the village in England, hence A is incorrect.
Option B contains the correct details: 'was born in 1642 in a small village of Woolsthorpe' hence B is the correct option.
Option C also mentions the same details, but it does not form a coherent meaning in the sentence. This is because the verb 'was' is missing.
As a result, the sentence formed: "Sir Isaac Newton, the great scientist, born in 1642 in a small village of Woolsthorpe." sounds incomplete.
Hence C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in B.
