Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the given options:
There are _____ more toys in the box where this came from.

A
little

B
much

C
few

D
many

Solution

It is clear that the sentence states that the number of toys in the box is much larger that what the is already there.
Option D is correct as "many" indicates this increase in the number of toys. Moreover, toys are countable objects which makes a countable adjective such as "many" suitable for use.
Option A and C are incorrect as they are the opposite in meaning. They denote less quantity. They are the complete opposites of "more".
Option B is incorrect as "much" is used with uncountable nouns.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the given options:
My aunt lived in that house _____ five years.

A
with

B
for

C
since

D
some

Solution

Option B is correct as the preposition "for" is used to indicate time or duration. Using this preposition tells us that the house was occupied by the aunt for five years.
Option A is incorrect as "with" is used with tangible objects and persons, and not something abstract as time.
Option C is incorrect as "since" is not used to denote an action that occurred within a period of time (with a beginning and end, like "five years"), but the start of the action from a certain point in time to the present (such as "since a year ago).
Option D is incorrect as "some" is used to denote quantity and, not duration.

[passage-header]Read the passage and answer the given question:[/passage-header]In 1933-34, I got my first chance to play in Test cricket in India. The MCC team under Douglas Jardine was in our country to play three test matches. Fortunately, I was able to do sufficiently well to retain my place in all the three tests.
During the test matches, my younger sister, Laxmi had given me an autograph book to get the autographs of visiting players. I had carefully put down MCC touring team in 1933- 34 on one of the pages. Under the heading, I took autographs of all the 16 players who visited India.
Two months later, I had an occasion to approach Gandhiji for his autograph, which my sister was very keen to have. There were quite a few people present when I made my request. Gandhiji smiled and leafed through the pages of the autograph book and then underneath the names of the MCC players wrote -'17- M.K Gandhi'. I immediately understood the greatness of the man and what had prompted him. By that unforgettable signature as the seventeenth man of the MCC team he showed that although he was prepared to fight the British Government tooth and nail for the independence of India, he had nothing against the common man of England and was prepared to put himself down as the seventeenth man of the English Cricket team.

The phrase 'to put down' means _________

A
wear

B
write

C
get down

D
keep

Solution

"Put down" is a phrasal verb. If you put something down somewhere, it means that you write or type it there. In the given paragraph, it is mentioned that Gandhiji "was prepared to put himself down as the seventeenth man of the English Cricket team". This means: "He was prepared to write his name down as the seventeenth man of the English Cricket team". Hence, option B is the right answer.

Option A: The word, ‘wear’ is a verb, which means: To have (something) on one's body as clothing, decoration or protection.
Option C: The words, "get down" has several meanings. Some of the common meanings are: (i) To manage to swallow something; (ii) To alight from a vehicle; (iii) To give one's attention.
Option D: The word, "keep" is a verb which means: To retain or have.
The meanings of the words, 'wear', 'get down' and 'keep' are quite different from the phrasal verb, "put down". Hence, options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the given options:
I don't expect him to change his mind because I know he is very ___________.

A
patient

B
hardworking

C
abstinate

D
obstinate

Solution

The word which fills in the blank is an adjective as it describes the subject, "I". The clue lies in the words, "I don't expect him to change his mind". This tells us that the word which fills the blank should describe such a person who does not change his mind. Let us look at the meaning of each word in the given options.
The word, "obstinate" is an adjective which means "stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or thoughts or chosen course of action, despite attempts to persuade one to do so". It is the most appropriate option as it exactly describes a person who doesn't change his mind. Hence, option D is correct.
Option A: The word, "patient" is an adjective which means "able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious".
Option B: The word "hardworking" is an adjective which means "diligent". It refers to the quality of working with energy and commitment.
The words, "patient" and "harworking" are quite different in meaning and cannot describe a person who does not change his mind. Hence, options A and B are incorrect.

Option C is incorrect as the word "abstinate" doesn’t exist in the English language. It carries no meaning.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable word from the options given below:
Although the situation is bad there is no cause for _________.

A
Attention

B
Concern

C
Caution

D
Desire

Solution

Option B is the correct answer because 'concern' means 'feel anxious/ worried'. The sentence describes that the situation is bad so 'concern' is the most appropriate word to complete the meaning of the given sentence.
Option A is incorrect because 'attention' means 'to consider or take care of'. The sentence describes that the situation is bad. Thus, option A 'attention' is not the logical or appropriate word for the given sentence.
Option C is incorrect because 'cation' means 'warning'. The sentence describes that the situation is bad, however, 'caution' is not the appropriate word for the given sentence.
Option D is incorrect because 'desire' means 'to wish'. It is not the appropriate word for the given sentence.
Question 6
1 / -0

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:-
The _____ were arrested for illegally hunting the bears.

A
poachers

B
rangers

C
soldiers

D
roachers

Solution

The word, ‘poachers’ is a noun which refers to people who catch and kill animals illegally. It is mentioned in the sentence that they were arrested for illegally hunting the bears. Hence, 'poachers' is the most appropriate noun to fill the blank and option A is correct.

Option B: The word, ‘rangers’ refer to keepers of a park or forest. They also protect animals.

Option C: Soldiers serve in the army and protect the nation.
Neither rangers nor soldiers illegally hunt animals. Hence, both these words are not appropriate answers and options B and C are wrong.

Option D is incorrect because the word ‘roachers’ doesn’t exist. It carries no meaning.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable word from the options given below:
___________ traffic and poor facilities have made pedestrians more vulnerable to accidents.

A
Increase

B
Increasingly

C
Increasing

D
Being increased

Solution

The correct answer is option C.
The correct answer that completes the given sentence will be the correct form of the word 'increase'.
It will be the present continuous tense of the word because the action of increased traffic and vulnerability to accidents is in progress.
Option C is the correct answer because the given sentence is in present continuous tense so ‘increasing’ is the right word.
The remaining options are incorrect:
Option A is incorrect because ‘increase’ is first person present tense and it is not the appropriate word for this sentence.
Option B is incorrect because ‘increasingly’ is present perfect continuous tense and is not correct grammatically.
Option D is incorrect because ‘being increased’ is past continuous tense and is not in the context of the sentence .
Hence option C is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank numbered (4):

A
stone throw

B
stoning throw

C
stone's throw

D
throwing stone

Solution

An idiomatic phrase is a phrase that has a different meaning from its literal meaning. In the line "even though it was only a...away from his office", we need to place a phrase. From these options, 'stone's throw' is an idiom that means 'a very short distance', a stone when thrown does not fall very far, hence this meaning. This makes option C correct. 'Stone throw', 'stoning throw', throwing stone' are not idiomatic phrases, 'stoning' means to throw stones on someone or something, and 'throwing stone' literally means 'to throw a stone', hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Select the meaning of the given phrase / idiom.

Carry on

A
start

B
execute

C
finish

D
continue

Solution

The phrasal verb "carry on" means to continue an activity or task. Thus D is the best answer.
