    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:[/passage-header]Probe into the subject, delve into its various effects - you will be amazed at how rapidly Western culture is corroding the Indian culture - exclusively to be proud of, to rust. These spicy pictures of the Western culture surely flatter the palate, but in course of time won't they canker it too? The root of all this misfortune lies in the soil nourished by the word 'modern'. What does 'modern' mean to us? Do we become modern by wearing outrageous clothes that make us look like aliens? Does modernism set in by profuse use of western slang?

    The word 'disgraceful' means which of the following words used in the passage?
    Solution
    The word 'disgraceful' means 'shockingly unacceptable'. The word, 'outrageous' means 'shockingly bad or excessive'. As these two words have a similar meaning, option D is the correct answer. 
    The word 'alien' means 'belonging to a foreign country'. The word, 'modern' means 'relating to the present or recent times as opposed to the remote past'. The word 'slang' is a type of language consisting of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal. The meanings of all these words are unrelated to the meaning of the word 'disgraceful'. Hence, options A, B and C are incorrect.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank by selecting appropriate phrasal verb from the given options:
    I was _________ in Mumbai and later I settled in Delhi.
    Solution
    The phrase "bring up" [often passive] means to look after a child until he or she becomes an adult. The speaker was looked after in Mumbai. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the word closest in meaning to the underlined phrase.
    The study of heavenly bodies.
    Solution
    The study of heavenly bodies is termed as astronomy and option C is the correct answer.

    An anthology is a published collection of poems or other pieces of writing, anthropology is the discipline studying various aspects of human beings and aetiology refers to the cause or a set of causes leading to a disease or a condition.  Thus options A, B and D are evidently incorrect answers.

    1 / -0
    Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
    Quick! ______ the train. It's ready to leave.
    Solution

    The phrasal verb 'get up' means 'rise or cause to rise from bed after sleeping'. 'Get away' means 'escape'. The phrasal verb, 'get at' means 'reach or gain access to something'. Given these meanings, the phrasal verbs in options A, B and C are not appropriate to be used in the given sentence. Hence, these options are incorrect.
