  • Question 1
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given  besides.

    Since the earliest times, humans have needed to be sensitive to their surroundings to ____ A ____ , which means that we have an ____ B ____ awareness of our environment and seek out environments with certain qualities.
    First of all, humans have a strong need for safety and security and look for those attributes in their environment. We also look for physical ____ C ____ , such as an environment with the right temperature. In addition, we seek an environment that is psychologically comfortable: for example, environments that are familiar, but offer the right amount of stimulus.
    Retailers and the hospitality industry know this very well and try to provide an atmosphere that creates a positive customer ____ D ____ and offers three important attributes: comfort, safety, and entertainment. These attributes are ____ E ____ important in healthcare as well.

    A

     

    Solution

     

     

    If we observe the choices given here closely, we can deduce that both ‘flourish ’and ‘grow ’are
    synonyms and it implies that neither of them could fill in the blank. This eliminates option A and C
    immediately.

    Usage of ‘living ’for the blank would be grammatically incorrect.

    ‘Survive ’which means ‘continue to live or exist, especially in spite of danger or hardship ’seems to fill in
    the blank most appropriately and usage of the verb ‘needed ’in the sentence confirms it in the context
    of the passage.

    Option D is hence the correct answer

     

     

  • Question 2
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Since the earliest times, humans have needed to be sensitive to their surroundings to ____ A ____ , which means that we have an ____ B ____ awareness of our environment and seek out environments with certain qualities.
    First of all, humans have a strong need for safety and security and look for those attributes in their environment. We also look for physical ____ C ____ , such as an environment with the right temperature. In addition, we seek an environment that is psychologically comfortable: for example, environments that are familiar, but offer the right amount of stimulus.
    Retailers and the hospitality industry know this very well and try to provide an atmosphere that creates a positive customer ____ D ____ and offers three important attributes: comfort, safety, and entertainment. These attributes are ____ E ____ important in healthcare as well.

    B

     

    Solution

     

     

    If we observe carefully, we can find that presence of the article ‘an ’right before the blank confirms
    that only a word starting with a vowel sound can fill in the blank. Therefore, option A gets eliminated
    immediately.
    Further, neither of the words ‘unwanted ’and ‘awkward ’makes sense if filled in the blank.
    The word ‘innate ’which means ‘inborn or natural ’fills in the blank most appropriately.
    Option B is hence the correct answer.

     

     

  • Question 3
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Since the earliest times, humans have needed to be sensitive to their surroundings to ____ A ____ , which means that we have an ____ B ____ awareness of our environment and seek out environments with certain qualities.
    First of all, humans have a strong need for safety and security and look for those attributes in their environment. We also look for physical ____ C ____ , such as an environment with the right temperature. In addition, we seek an environment that is psychologically comfortable: for example, environments that are familiar, but offer the right amount of stimulus.
    Retailers and the hospitality industry know this very well and try to provide an atmosphere that creates a positive customer ____ D ____ and offers three important attributes: comfort, safety, and entertainment. These attributes are ____ E ____ important in healthcare as well.

    C

     

    Solution

     

     

    None of the words ‘strength ’, ‘prowess ’and ‘relations ’seems to fit in the context of the sentence.
    Only the word ‘comfort ’goes well with the context and it is confirmed if we observe the next sentence
    in the same paragraph;
    In addition, we seek an environment that is psychologically comfortable: for example, environments
    that are familiar, but offer the right amount of stimulus.
    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

     

     

  • Question 4
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Since the earliest times, humans have needed to be sensitive to their surroundings to ____ A ____ , which means that we have an ____ B ____ awareness of our environment and seek out environments with certain qualities.
    First of all, humans have a strong need for safety and security and look for those attributes in their environment. We also look for physical ____ C ____ , such as an environment with the right temperature. In addition, we seek an environment that is psychologically comfortable: for example, environments that are familiar, but offer the right amount of stimulus.
    Retailers and the hospitality industry know this very well and try to provide an atmosphere that creates a positive customer ____ D ____ and offers three important attributes: comfort, safety, and entertainment. These attributes are ____ E ____ important in healthcare as well.

    D

     

    Solution

     

     

    ‘Feedback ’is something that a customer gives after experiencing a product or service. Usage of it for
    the blank doesn ’t make any sense. This makes option B invalid.
    ‘Grievance ’is a negative work whereas the sentence is written in a positive tone. This is also a weak
    choice for the blank.
    ‘Cycle ’is absolutely absurd in the context.
    ‘Experience ’is clearly the best choice here for the blank as it goes well with the context.
    Option A is hence the correct answer.

     

     

  • Question 5
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Since the earliest times, humans have needed to be sensitive to their surroundings to ____ A ____ , which means that we have an ____ B ____ awareness of our environment and seek out environments with certain qualities.
    First of all, humans have a strong need for safety and security and look for those attributes in their environment. We also look for physical ____ C ____ , such as an environment with the right temperature. In addition, we seek an environment that is psychologically comfortable: for example, environments that are familiar, but offer the right amount of stimulus.
    Retailers and the hospitality industry know this very well and try to provide an atmosphere that creates a positive customer ____ D ____ and offers three important attributes: comfort, safety, and entertainment. These attributes are ____ E ____ important in healthcare as well.

    E

     

    Solution

     

     

    In the given context of the passage, none of the available choices is appropriate for the blank.
    Either ‘equally ’or ‘quite ’would have been correct here for the blank.
    Evidently, option D is the correct here.

     

     

  • Question 6
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Agriculture in India needs to become more sustainable even as small and marginal farmers ___A___ to build resilience against many threats. First, they remain price-takers and economically vulnerable, __B__ to traders who set prices, and with limited opportunities to sell at a time of their choice. Further , decades of ___C___ agriculture have added to water stress and decline soil health. Farmers rely on ground water for more than 60% of ___D___ needs. Chemical fertilizers once used to __ E___ soil nutrients have been applied to so intensively that the long-term health of soils is now of deep concern.

    A

     

    Solution

     

     

    In the passage difficulties faced by farmers have been discussed. It mentions the need of agriculture in
    India to become more sustainable. The reason behind this is to help small and marginal farmers to
    build resilience against many threats. This means they are facing problems currently.
    ‘Resilience ’means capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. In the context of the passage, only
    Option C i.e. ‘struggle ’fits in.
    Hence option C is the correct answer.

     

     

  • Question 7
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Agriculture in India needs to become more sustainable even as small and marginal farmers ___A___ to build resilience against many threats. First, they remain price-takers and economically vulnerable, __B__ to traders who set prices, and with limited opportunities to sell at a time of their choice. Further , decades of ___C___ agriculture have added to water stress and decline soil health. Farmers rely on ground water for more than 60% of ___D___ needs. Chemical fertilizers once used to __ E___ soil nutrients have been applied to so intensively that the long-term health of soils is now of deep concern.

    B

     

    Solution

     

     

    In the sentence, the plight of farmers ’obligation towards traders has been mentioned.
    ‘Beholden ’means feeling you have a duty to someone because they have done something for you. In
    the given context, it implies the sense of being trapped.
    Hence option B is the correct answer.

     

     

  • Question 8
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Agriculture in India needs to become more sustainable even as small and marginal farmers ___A___ to build resilience against many threats.

    C

     

    Solution

     

     

    In the blank we need appropriate adjective for an agriculture practice.
    Among given options, only suitable word is ‘Intensive ’which in regard to agricultural practices
    imply, aiming to achieve maximum production within a limited area, especially by using chemical and
    technological aids, a practice which has added to water stress and decline in soil health.
    Hence option D is the correct answer.

     

     

  • Question 9
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Agriculture in India needs to become more sustainable even as small and marginal farmers ___A___ to build resilience against many threats.

Chemical fertilizers once used to __ E___ soil nutrients have been applied to so intensively that the long-term health of soils is now of deep concern.

    D

     

    Solution

     

     

    We need to fill the blank with a noun.
    Among the given options, only ‘irrigation ’is a relevant noun, eliminating options B, D and E.
    Farmers use groundwater/water mainly for irrigation.
    Hence option A is the correct answer.

     

     

  • Question 10
    1 / -0.25

     

    Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given besides.

    Agriculture in India needs to become more sustainable even as small and marginal farmers ___A___ to build resilience against many threats. First, they remain price-takers and economically vulnerable, __B__ to traders who set prices, and with limited opportunities to sell at a time of their choice. Further , decades of ___C___ agriculture have added to water stress and decline soil health. Farmers rely on ground water for more than 60% of ___D___ needs. Chemical fertilizers once used to __ E___ soil nutrients have been applied to so intensively that the long-term health of soils is now of deep concern.

    E

     

    Solution

     

     

    Farmers use fertiliser to increase the level of nutrients in soil.
    'Boost 'means increase. 'Accelerate 'means increase in rate, amount, or extent and hence is
    inappropriate.
    ‘Deplete ’means diminish in number or quantity, which gives us negative sense.
    Hence Option D is the correct answer.
