    Solution
    In the first sentence, "I tried in vain to convince her that I was telling the truth", vain is correct because it implies without real significance, value, or importance. Vane implies a device, as a rod to which a freely rotating pointer is attached, for indicating the direction of the wind. Vein implies one of the system of branching vessels or tubes conveying blood from various parts of the body to the heart. 
    In the second sentence, "    Suddenly, the child went blue and the vein in her wrist became silent", vein implies one of the system of branching vessels or tubes conveying blood from various parts of the body to the heart.
    In the third sentence, "    The weather vane needs to be replaced", vane implies a device, as a rod to which a freely rotating pointer is attached, for indicating the direction of the wind.

    'Obliterate' means to remove all signs of something either by destroying it or by covering it so that it cannot be seen. E.g. All of a sudden the view was obliterated by the fog. 'Demolish' means to destroy. 'Extinguish' means to stop a fire or light burning. 'Erase' means to rub out to remove something. 'Change' means to become different. 
    Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Rowed is correct in the third sentence because it implies to propel a vessel by the leverage of an oar.

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Read the passage carefully and answer the following question:[/passage-header]$$1$$ One would imagine that at the very first sight of the panther, deer, antelopes, and its other preys would just run for their lives. But nothing of this sort happens. They all stand their ground and make such a loud noise that the panther is left with no other choice but to leave quietly. I have seen a tiny chital baby standing in the middle of an opening in the forest, stamping its feet on the ground and shooing away a tiger. With the white of its erect tail showing, it kept up its shrill call until the tiger made itself scarce. No tiger in its senses would attempt to catch such an impertinent brat, just as you would not dream of catching an offending crow cawing away in your verandah.
    $$2$$ While the panther sticks to cover and hugs the edge of the forest, the game animals, on the other hand, like to assemble right out in open vast grazing grounds. Open spaces, which the panther carefully avoids, are what the game animals deliberately seek.
    $$3$$ It is difficult to describe the pandemonium kicked up by various animals when they spot or suspect a panther around. The chital strikes a shrill note, the kakar emits a deafening bark and the sambar rings a bell. The peacock on its perch, the jungle fowl on the ground, and the monkey on treetops, all join in the chorus of condemnation.

    Identify the meaning of the word 'Condemnation' (Para $$3$$).
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A.
    CONDEMNATION means DISAPPROVAL.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    ACCEPTANCE means reception.
    REVENGE means retaliation.
    ANNOYANCE means irritation.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the correct use of homophones to complete the sentences:
    (1) She was an _________ singer and songwriter. 
    (2) The idea of an _________ spontaneous evolution is applicable to both nature and mind. 
    (3) His failure was ________ and could not have been avoided. 
    Solution
    In the first sentence, "She was an eminent singer and songwriter", eminent implies high in station, rank, or repute or prominent or distinguished. Immanent is incorrect here as it implies remaining within or indwelling or inherent. Imminent is incorrect as it implies something that is likely to occur at any moment. 
    In the second sentence, "The idea of an immanent spontaneous evolution is applicable to both nature and mind", immanent is correct as it implies remaining within or indwelling or inherent.
    In the third sentence, "    His failure was imminent and could not have been avoided", imminent implies something that is likely to occur at any moment.
    Other options are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select the word or group of words that is most similar in meaning to the underlined word.

    Divine grace is truly ineffable. 
    Solution
    'Ineffable' means something impossible to describe, especially because of being extremely bad or good. E.g. The pain was ineffable. 
    Thus, option C is the most similar in meaning to the given word. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify the correct homophone to complete the sentence:
    Don't forget to ________ the fish in once it baits. 
    Solution

    Option B: “reel” is used to refer to the act of “rolling in”, that is, to roll something on a spool or wheel. Here, it makes a meaningful sentence since here “reel” refers to rolling the fishing line onto the spool to bring the fish out of water once it is caught. Hence, this is the correct option.

    Option A: “real” refers to “being” or “existence” or “truth”. This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

    Option C: “rile” means to annoy somebody. This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

    Option D: “ryle” is not a word of the English vocabulary. Hence, this option is incorrect.
