  • Question 1
    1 / -0.25

    Directions: In the following questions, a sentence is given with two blanks. You have to find the pair of words from the given options that fit both the blanks in the given order and make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. 

    Congress leaders stress that this manifesto ________ the needs and ________ of the marginalised sections of society. 

    Solution

    First word of all the options could fit the first blank grammatically as well as contextually, but the second word makes a difference here.

    In option A, ‘inspirations ’seems contextually incorrect.  In option B, ‘requirements ’is redundant as it means the same as “needs ”.

    In option C, ‘aspirations ’absolutely fits the context as well grammar. Aspiration is different from ‘need ’in a way that “need “refers to the necessities of an individual whereas ‘aspiration ”is more about luxurious desires of an individual.

    Hence option C is correct. 

  • Question 2
    1 / -0.25

    Directions: In the question given below there are two statements, each statement consists of two blanks. You have to choose the option which provides the correct set of words that fits both the blanks in both the statements appropriately and in the same order making them meaningful and grammatically correct. 

    I. The Programme ________ is radical because the exercise envisages a serious reimagination of government and governance, and ________ cooperative federalism.  

    II. The book turned movie boasts of an ingeniously ________ production and ________ the original work, at times even surpassing it. 

    Solution

    In the first blank, the only options that fit in are option B and D- conceived and conceptualized. However, satire meaning spoof does not make sense in either of the statements as the second blank. Deepens on the other hand is a perfect fit.

    Hence, option B is the best fit here. 

  • Question 3
    1 / -0.25

    Direction: In each of the questions given below, a paragraph is given which has some blanks and those blanks have to be filled with the same word out of five words given below it. You have to choose that same word as your answer and fill up the blanks with that appropriate word. 

    You should not make any ____________ remark against your colleagues since they are with you through thick and thin. If they also revert with any ____________ comment you may not be able to tolerate it at your end. Therefore, it is in your own best interests that you should refrain from making ____________ comment on anybody.

    Solution

    Here we are talking about the fact that we should not make any statement that hurts or belittles anybody. This will not feel good if that same thing happens to you since you will feel very bad for that. 

    That is why the author is of the opinion that you should not indulge in doing something that will hurt you back.

    Among the given words here we can see that docile implies pliable and pliant whereas eccentric means strange and abnormal. Both these words are not correct as per the given context and they should be eliminated. There is only one word that makes sense in this context for all the three given blanks and that is derogatory meaning sarcastic and critical. This will make the given paragraph grammatically and contextually meaningful.

    This makes Option C the correct choice among the given options. 

  • Question 4
    1 / -0.25

    Direction: In the questions given below a sentence is given with two blanks in each. Corresponding to each question two columns are given with three words in each column. Which combination of words from the two columns will perfectly fit into the blanks to make the sentence contextually correct and meaningful?  

    A patient has the right to know all the rates charged for specific services in a hospital, hospitals should boldly ____________ the cost of procedures in local and English language and patients should pay the fees agreed upon and never ______________ to violence. 

    Solution

    If we go through the context of the given sentence it is regarding the right of the patients and the way in which they should behave in the hospitals. There should be an agreement between the hospital authorities and the patients and afterwards no party should turn violent.

    Among the given words, we can see that from the first column, display can be placed in the first blank whereas from the second column, the correct word that can be placed in the second blank is resort. So, B-D is a correct combination of the two words to be placed in the blanks. There is no other combination of words that will make the given sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

    This makes Option C the correct choice among the given options.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0.25

    Direction: Each question below has one blank, which is indicating that something has been omitted. Find out which option can be used to fill up the blank in the sentence in the same sequence to make it meaningfully complete. 

    There has been _____________ interest among retail investors in ETF, thanks to the underperformance of the actively-managed large-cap equity funds. 

    Solution

    According to the context of the sentence we are saying that the large cap funds have not been able to perform properly in the recent times and that is why the retail investors must have been interested in the ETF segment. Obviously the retail participation must have seen an increase as per the second part of the given sentence. Therefore among the given words we can use increased to fill the blank in the sentence to make it meaningful and correct. Other words fail to imply the intended meaning and that is why they are eliminated.

    This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options. 

  • Question 6
    1 / -0.25

    Directions: In the following questions, a sentence is given with two blanks. You have to find the pair of words from the given options that fit both the blanks in the given order and make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. 

    It is now important for the central bank to _______ that the discipline in the system does not ________.  

    Solution

     In option A, “wrecked ”is grammatically incorrect because it uses the past participle form of verb as well as does not fit the context.

    In option B, week is contextually incorrect.

    In option C, “exist ”is exactly opposite to what is being required. RBI is a governing authority and it would try to maintain discipline rather than removing it. 

    Both the words of option D suit the context as well as fulfill the grammar rules.

    Hence option D is correct.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0.25

    Directions: In the question given below there are two statements, each statement consists of two blanks. You have to choose the option which provides the correct set of words that fits both the blanks in both the statements appropriately and in the same order making them meaningful and grammatically correct.

    II. The minister interacted with the local residents and ________ their feedback on the developmental policies as he wanted to know why the district, which was a knowledge hub earlier, was presently ________ in crucial indicators of development. 

    Solution

    The correct phrase is sought after which means something in demand. The only option that fits in here is option A. Also, the second word also fits in well here and conveys the meaning that the movement has been less than expected.

    Hence, option A is correct.

    It is very important to ____________ to rules and regulations in life if you want to achieve something. If you are a person who hates discipline and cannot ____________ to any stupid set of norms, you should definitely opt for startup stints. There you will not have to ____________ anything fixed and you can only focus on your performance.

    Solution

    The given paragraph is regarding the fact that in a startup setup it is not at all necessary to follow any set of norms. The main thing is that you have to show results according to your own flexible timetable and discipline. That is why it can be said that in startup companies it is not about norms but it is mainly about performance.

    Now coming to the given words, we can see that attest implies ratifying something or confirming something officially whereas abate implies decease something. These two words are not correct as per the given context and can be eliminated. Reject is also not correct. There is only one word that can be used in all the three blanks and it will make the whole paragraph meaningful. The concerned word is adhere that means abide by or obey something. This is our correct pick.

    This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options. 

  • Question 9
    1 / -0.25

    Direction: In the questions given below a sentence is given with two blanks in each. Corresponding to each question two columns are given with three words in each column.

    Taking a cue from these complaints, the National Human Rights Commission had ____________ a draft of patients ’rights charter with the Ministry and it was ____________ at the 11th meeting of the National Council of Clinical Establishments.

    Coming to the words in the columns, there is only one word from the first column that will fill the blank correctly for the first blank and that is shared whereas from the second column, we can only use discussed among the three given words. Therefore the correct combination would have been AE. No other combination of words would have made the sentence correct both grammatically and contextually.

    This makes Option D the correct choice among the given options.
