  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:
    We need to be careful to ensure that our projects are on the right _________.
    Solution



    Option C is the correct answer because ‘track’ means ‘a prepared course’. The sentence describes about being careful about the project. ‘On the right path’ means to ensure that the project is completed/delivered properly, so option C ‘track’ is the most appropriate word to complete the meaning of the sentence. 

    Option A is incorrect because ‘route’ means ‘a way to get somewhere’. It is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.

    Option B is incorrect because ‘road’ means ‘a wide track for vehicles to go’. It is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.

    Option D is incorrect because ‘way’ means ‘method, manner or a road’. Although ‘way’ is relatively similar in meaning, it is not the appropriate contextually.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:
    Most of the youngsters today are ___________ in social networking in all of their free time.
    Solution

    Option A is the correct answer because ‘engaged’ means ‘occupied or to use’. Thus, ‘engaged’ is the most appropriate word to describe usage of social media during free time.
    Option B is incorrect because ‘employed’ means ‘give work to someone and pay them or make use of’. Although ‘employed’ is similar in meaning it is not the appropriate word because youngsters use social media during their free time and are not paid for it.
    Option C is incorrect because ‘involved’ means ‘to participate’. Thus, it is not the appropriate word to complete the meaning of this sentence.
    Option D is incorrect because ‘implicated’ means ‘to be responsible for or to be involved in a crime’. Thus, it is not the appropriate word to complete the meaning of this sentence.

    Identify which of the line(s) from the above passage are exclamatory.
    Solution

    An exclamatory sentence expresses surprise, joy, or wonder and is followed by an exclamatory mark and A, B, C follow the rule. Hence, D is correct.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Identify the phrases in the given sentence:
    The king wore a crown made of gold and silver.
    Solution
    Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects. 
    Using option B will justify all the above rules. 'made of gold and silver' is a prepositional phrase as 'of' is the preposition and 'gold and silver' are the objects.
    Options A, C and D are not prepositional phrases. 
    Thus, option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    What does the phrase "check out" mean in this context?
    Check out her tattoo!
    Solution
    The quoted phrase means 'To examine' in this context.
    Option B is correct. 'Examine' means 'look at'. Thus, the option has the required meaning and is the correct answer.
    Options A, C and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.
    Option C, imitate' means 'copy'.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the phrase(s) in the following sentence:
    There was a narrow track through the jungle.
    Solution
    Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects. 
    Using option C will justify all the above rules. 'Through the jungle' is a prepositional phrase as 'through' is the preposition and 'jungle' is the object.
    Options A, B and D are not prepositional phrases. 
    Thus, option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that replaces the phrase in quotes with the correct idiomatic expression.

    The professor asked us to discuss the ''ups and downs'' of globalization.
    Solution
    'Ups and downs' is an idiomatic phrase which can be replaced by 'pros and cons'.
    The meaning of this phrase is succession of both good and bad experiences. 'Pros and cons' means the advantages and disadvantages of something/someone. 
    'Odds and end' means miscellaneous articles thus it is wrong. 'A piece of cake' means something easily achieved thus it is also a wrong option. Option D is not an idiomatic phrase. 
    Thus, option B is the correct answer. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that replaces the phrase in quotes with the correct idiomatic expression.
    If you think English grammar is a ''slice of cake'' just try it.
    Solution
    The answer must be a correct idiomatic expression of the English language.
    Option D is correct. 'Piece of cake' means 'very easy'. Thus, 'If you think English grammar is a piece of cake just try it' makes sense. So, it is correct.
    Options A, B and C are incorrect. They are not correct idiomatic expressions of the English language.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct meaning of the idiom/phrase:
    To look up to
    Solution
    An idiom is an expression that has a meaning different from the literal meaning of the words in that expression.
    The given phrase is an idiomatic expression. It does not literally mean 'to look up to see someone'.
    Option B: 'To look up to' means 'to admire or respect someone'.
    The same is mentioned in option B, hence it is correct.

    Option A: The phrase 'to watch carefully' does not express the meaning of the idiom.
    Option C: 'To search for something' is the literal meaning, and does not provide the meaning of the idiom.
    Option D: 'To be unsure' does not express the meaning of the idiom.
    Hence, options A, C and D are wrong.
