    The correct word for blank [2] is _____
    Solution

    The correct answer is Option B.

    We are to complete the sentence with the correct form of the word 'experience'

    Option A is incorrect because ‘experiencing’ is the present continuous tense whereas the paragraph is in simple present tense. 

    Option C is incorrect because ‘experiences’ is in the plural whereas the subject of the sentence should be in the singular form in accordance with the verb.

    Option D is incorrect because ‘experienced’ is past tense whereas the paragraph is in simple present tense. 

    Thus options A, B, and D are incorrect.

    Option B is the correct answer because it correctly works as the subject of the sentence. It is in the singular and therefore in accordance with the verb of the sentence.

    Hence option B is the correct answer.

    The correct word for blank [4] is _________. 
    Solution
    This specific sentence talks about the causes of pain, which are inherent, unchanging and natural. For such actions that are habitual, we use the simple present tense of the verb; since there are multiple causes for pain, results, is the right answer i.e. option D. It is also helpful to note that the general tense of the passage is simple present. Since the passage is about a singular idea, pain, the singular verb, results, is the right option.

    Option C is grammatically incorrect as we generally use 'result' when the subject is plural. Here, the subject is singular i.e. 'pain'.

    Since we are discussing the causes of pain that is specific to the present time, that doesn't continue into the future, option B, the present continuous tense of the verb is wrong.

    Option A is also grammatically incorrect as the simple past tense of the verb, resulted,  is a misfit to the general present tense of the passage.


  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable word from the options given below:
    The police say untidiness should not be a reason ________ people to avoid subways.
    Solution
    The preposition, for, usually tells us about the use of something, a reason or purpose. Hence in this sentence Option D can be correctly used to show how untidiness of the subways should not be a reason or excuse for people to avoid them.

    Options A, B and C are incorrect as they would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence rendering it no meaning. By is generally used to indicate an agent while because is used to establish the cause of an event. To is used to indicate a time, place or relationship. Hence these options are incorrect answers to the above question.

    The correct word for the blank [7] is __________.
    Solution

    In the above mentioned passage, a situation of life and the parcel that it brings along is mentioned and described. In the second last sentence, the word pain is described in simple present tense as something that acts as an alarm bell. Hence, the right form of the word ‘ring’ would be Option D, “rings”.

    The other words, ‘rung’, ‘is ringing’ and ‘rang’ do not fit in as a suitable word for the blank as the sentence is in the Simple present tense, and as the subject is a singular word, “rings” will be the most suitable option.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:
    I suggest you should _________ yourself with the rules before you join the meeting.
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because ‘familiarize’ means ‘to understand’. Option B is the most appropriate verb for the given sentence.
    Option A is incorrect because ‘familiar’ is an adjective and it is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.
    Option C is incorrect because ‘familiarly’ is an adverb and it is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.
    Option D is incorrect because ‘familiarity’ is a noun and it is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.

    The correct word for the blank [8] is
    Solution

    In the above mentioned passage, a situation of life and the parcel that it brings along is mentioned and described. The last line talks about how pains can be an alarm bell towards gaining back consciousness on how to live life. Thus the correct form of the word ‘alert’, which describes the sudden reflex we get during a pain, is Option B, “alerting.” The ‘verb+ing’ form connects the previous sentence of pain to the immediate attention it needs.

    The other options, ‘alerted’, ‘alert’ and ‘alerts’ are forms which will not be suitable for the blank above as they do not fit in grammatically.

    The correct word for blank [3] is _________. 
    Solution

    The correct solution to the mentioned question is Option D. The passage which is talking about the presence of pain in human life is something that is happening right now and is expected to be an ongoing process, thus using the present continuous tense (altering). The key is to identify the general tense present in the passage and then contextualize it with the topic of the passage. 

    Even though options A and B are in the present tense, they indicate the event only happening at the moment failing to express the continuing role of pain in human lives and hence are wrong. Moreover, option B is a grammatical misfit as the sentence has the first-person plural form of the verb while option B is in the third-person singular form.

    Option C is wrong as the simple past form of the verb, altered, implies something that happened in the past, the effect of which is no longer present. It does not go with the context and the general present tense of the passage.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:
    Located close to Charminar, the kilometer-long stretch of Laad Bazaar is ______ with shops selling bright in every hue and colour.
    Solution

    Option D is the correct answer because ‘filled’ means ‘occupied or blocked’. The sentence describes shops in the kilometer long stretch in Laad Bazaar. Thus, option D is the most appropriate word.
    Option A is incorrect because ‘came’ means ‘to come’. It is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.
    Option B is incorrect because ‘discovered’ means ‘to find out something’. It is not the appropriate grammatical word for the given sentence.
    Option C is incorrect because ‘covered’ means ‘to extend’. Although ‘covered’ is relatively similar in meaning, it is not the appropriate contextually.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable word from the options given below:
    Most dogs snarl ________ you pull their tail.
    Solution
    The sentence calls for a conditional conjunction because we have to show how the first clause of the sentence is dependent on the second clause or simply put, to explain why the dogs' snarl. So option B is the correct answer. If is used to express general truths or facts. It is important to note that both parts of the sentence are in simple present tense.

    Option A is incorrect because unless is used in sentences to mean the same as if..not. Using this option would rid the sentence of its meaning.

    Even though both options C and D are subordinating conjunctions which can be used to indicate a reason, either of them doesn't seem to be an apt answer as it sounds grammatically incorrect. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:
    The child held the bag as tightly as if it were her most __________ possession.
    Solution

    Option C is the correct answer because ‘prized’ means ‘invaluable’. Possessing something means it has great value hence here the right word is ‘prized’.
    Option A is incorrect because ‘prize’ means ‘gift’. It is not the right word for this context.
    Option B is incorrect because the word ‘prizy’ doesn’t exist in English language.
    Option D is incorrect because the word ‘prizely’ doesn’t exist in English language.
