...view full instructions

Choose the correct option for [40].

A
Banner Containing the details of organisers

B
Address of the organisers

C
Date, Time and Venue

D
Message

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 40 is filled with the first option, 'Banner Containing the details of organisers'. So, option A is correct.
Option B: The 'address of the organisers' is irrelevant, as the poster is about the event organised, and not about the organiser's residences. Hence B is incorrect.
Option C: The Date, Time and Venue are mentioned later in the poster. It does not come first. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: The 'message' is generally written after the heading or slogan. It does not come first in any poster, or else the overall meaning is unclear.
Hence D is also incorrect.

Choose the correct option for [41].

A
Date, Time and Venue

B
Graphic / Photograph / Illustration / Picture / Art work

C
Slogan

D
Organiser's photographs

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 41 is filled with 'Graphic / Photograph / Illustration / Picture / Art work'
So, option B is correct.
Option A: The Date, Time and Venue are mentioned later in the poster. It does not come after the banner (containing the name of the organisers). Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: The slogan is placed after the illustration or graphic (because the image attracts more attention than the slogan). It does not come in blank 41. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: The organiser's photographs are optional and may not be used at all, in a poster. (An illustration, however, helps to catch the attention of the onlooker.) Hence option D is incorrect.

A
Durga Puja Mahotsava-$$20$$XX

B
The IIT Guwahati Sports Ground

C
Durga Puja Association of Assam

D
Tata Tea Estate, Guwahati

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.

Solution

The given 'MESSAGE' is a report of the conversation between Mr. Subbu and Anil. Anil is the person who has written the message "May I take the message for him?"
Option C: As it's mentioned in the line "our Drama Troupe that has to perform in his theatre will reach New Delhi Railway Station", blank 3 is filled with "New Delhi Railway Station". Hence C is correct.
Option A: The word 'here' refers to a non-specific place. It does not refer to the correct location as mentioned in the line "our Drama Troupe...will reach New Delhi Railway Station". Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: Similarly, 'New Delhi' is a fairly general location, whereas in the direct speech it's mentioned "Railway Station" in New Delhi. Hence option B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Lucknow' is the place where the secretary is planning to go. It is not the name of the place where the troupe will reach. Hence D is incorrect.

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.

Choose the correct option for [5]:

A
brought up

B
bringing up

C
was brought up

D
looked after

Solution

The paragraph narrates details of Newton's life.
Option C: 'Was brought up' is the most suitable option for this statement. It's in the passive voice. A sentence is in passive voice when the subject (Newton) receives the action.
In active voice, the subject performs the action.
Here, Newton received the action 'was brought up' from his grandmother. (Also, 'by' follows the verb to indicate the passive voice.)
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'Brought up' is in the active voice. But, the subject here does not perform the action. Newton did not bring up his grandmother. Hence option A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Bringing up' is in the present continuous tense. It does not relate to the passage, which is in the past. Also, a helping verb 'is, are, was' is missing. Hence B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Looked after', like 'brought up', is also in the active voice form. Hence option D is incorrect.

Choose the correct option for [4]:

A
was remarried a clergyman

B
remarries a clergyman

C
remarried a clergyman

D
all of the above

Solution

Options B and C: As mentioned in the line "mother remarried a clergyman", Sir Isaac Newton's mother remarried a clergyman (in the past tense). This action has already taken place. Hence 'remarries a clergyman' is incorrect; 'remarries' is in the simple present tense. The simple present tense is used to indicate a daily habit. (It can also be used to indicate an event in history to make it sound more dramatic. But, the given paragraph is in past tense.)
'Remarried' is in the simple past tense. It indicates an action that happened in the past.
Hence C is the correct option and B is incorrect.
Option A: 'Was remarried a clergyman' is grammatically incorrect, because the preposition 'to' is missing. The right form should be: 'was remarried to a clergyman'. (Also, 'was remarried...' is in passive voice whereas the details mention the action 'to remarry' in the active form. The passive voice indicates that the subject 'mother' receives the action, she was made to marry, whereas the active voice indicates that the subject performed the action.)
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies only in C.
