A
flesh

B
skin

C
bones

D
toes

Solution

The correct answer here is Option B) - 'skin'. This is because to be 'soaked to the skin' is a phrase which means to be completely drenched by water, which as stated in the sentence is due to the waves. All other options are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

CHOOSE BEST OPTION TO FILL IN THE BLANK.

Yevgeny Salinde, an 11-years-old Russian boy, has (e.g.) _____(B)_____ a 30,000-year-old mammoth carcass near his home in Russia's far north.

Scientists estimate the mammoth was 15 to 16 years old when it succumbed.

Fill in blank 40.

A
confound

B
believe

C
consider

D
debate

Solution

Option A) is the best fit for blank #40, making it the correct answer. This is because out of all the options, 'believe' follows the phrase after the blank i.e 'this is the second most' appropriately; that is the individuals believe that it is the second most well preserved mammoth carcass found yet. Believe is preferable here as in science, beliefs are subject to change upon new discoveries - and not debated, considered or confounded. All the other options are incorrect.

1 / -0

Choose the right option to complete the blank.

We decided to _____ the schedule as originally planned.

keep

[passage-header]Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
[/passage-header]Ray Bradbury is regarded as one of the greats of 20th-century science fiction along with Isaac Asimov and A.C. Clarke. He established himself at the age of thirty with The Martial Chronicle, which perhaps remains his best-known work. The book celebrates space travel but it is also critical for the social abuses that modern technology has made possible. Though other writers had represented science and technology as a mixed bag of blessings, his book had a great impact. Initially, his audience was small as most readers had no patience with jargon. His popularity grew as he avoided technical words and expressed his ideas about the future in common language.

We began with learning how to clip on the special shoes and strap on the skis. Then we tried to master the art of balancing on the skis as we moved sideways and forward. There was a lot of slipping and falling. But we finally managed a slow run down the gentle slope. The helmeted toddlers skimming around like small gnats were an embarrassing contrast to our clumsiness. But we ignored them firmly. Soon exhausted, we cut short the lesson and retreated to the institute. All around us, youngsters were happily trying their hand at skiing, snowboarding, and floating hot air balloons like hitting sky gods. It was truly a winter wonderland to revel in.
