    Each question gives a word followed by four choices. From the choices, select most suitable synonym (word which means the same) for the question word and mark its number as the answer

    INCREDIBLE:

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The word "incredible" means something that is difficult or impossible to believe.
    • "Unbelievable" has a similar meaning and is a suitable synonym for "incredible."
    • Examples:
      • The athlete's performance at the Olympics was incredible, as she broke several world records.
      • The magician's trick was so unbelievable that the audience sat in stunned silence.
      Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.

    Additional Information

    • The other options and their meanings are:
    • Suspicious - feeling or showing distrust or suspicion. This is not a synonym for "incredible" as it refers to feeling doubtful or wary rather than something being difficult to believe.
      • Example: The police found his alibi to be suspicious, as it did not match up with the witness testimony.
    • Transparent - easily seen through or detected. This is not a synonym for "incredible" as it refers to something being easily visible or clear rather than difficult to believe.
      • Example: The company's financial records were transparent and open to public scrutiny.
    • Justified - having a valid or legitimate reason. This is not a synonym for "incredible" as it refers to something being reasonable or justifiable rather than something being difficult to believe.
      • Example: The lawyer argued that his client's actions were justified in self-defense.

    Sail close to the wind

    Solution

    Key Points

    • This question aims to find the correct meaning of the idiom "Sail close to the wind".
    • "Sail close to the wind" is a popular idiom in the English language. It is often used to denote someone who is operating on the limits of what is considered acceptable or safe.
    • From the provided options, 'To do something that is dangerous' mirrors the connotation of the idiom perfectly.

    Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

  • Question 7
    5 / -1

    In the following question, out of the four given options, select the one that best expresses the meaning of the idiom/phrase.

    Break the bank.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The idiom "break the bank" means to lose a large sum of money, especially in gambling or business.
    • It is often used to describe a situation where someone has lost so much money that they are financially ruined.

    Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

    Additional Information

    • Option 1) To further a loss with mockery or indignity is incorrect because it does not accurately describe the meaning of the idiom.
    • Option 3) To be conspicuous about something is incorrect because it does not have a clear relationship with the idiom.
    • Option 4) Win more money than is held by the bank is incorrect because it is the opposite of the meaning of the idiom.
  • Question 8
    5 / -1

    In the following question, out of the four given options, select the one that best expresses the meaning of the idiom/phrase.

    Hold the fort.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The idiom 'Hold the fort' is used to suggest someone should take responsibility for something or take charge, especially when the person usually in charge is not there.
    • The idea is derived from a military context where soldiers would hold the fort against enemies until reinforcements arrived.
      • Example: I have to go to a meeting, can you hold the fort till I come back?

    Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2' i.e. 'To maintain or guard something temporarily'.

    Additional Information

    • 'To avoid being found guilty of a crime' is not related to the phrase 'Hold the fort.' It suggests escaping from the law or justice, which does not match with the idiom's meaning.
    • 'To stop talking about something' suggests either changing the subject or avoiding certain topics. It has no relation with the 'Hold the fort' idiom.
    • 'To finish something before time' implies completing a task or project ahead of a deadline or before the due date. This also does not align with the meaning of 'Hold the fort'.
  • Question 9
    5 / -1

    Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.

    Get down to brass tacks

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The idiom "get down to brass tacks" means to start to consider the basic, essential, or important details of a job or task, to focus on the most important details.
    • "To become serious about something" - This phrase generally implies that someone is beginning to focus or concentrate on something, or has decided to take something seriously.

    Therefore, the correct answer is: 'To become serious about something'.

    Additional Information

    • Explanation for other options:
      • "Get fired from the job" - This means that someone has been dismissed or let go from their job, typically because of poor performance or some violation of company policy. It doesn't relate to the idiom "get down to brass tacks."
      • "Compromise, cooperation between people" - This indicates a state of agreement reached by adjustment of conflicting or opposing claims, principles, etc., by mutual concessions. It does not encapsulate the meaning of "get down to brass tacks," which pertains to dealing with important details rather than resolving disputes.
      • "To be ready" - This generally means to be prepared for an event or situation. While it may be related in some contexts (you need to be ready before getting down to brass tacks), it doesn't convey the specific idea of dealing with the basic or most important aspects of a situation.
  • Question 10
    5 / -1

    Select the most appropriate meaning of the underlined idiom.

    The husband promised the earth to his wife.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The underlined idiom in the sentence is 'promised the earth'. It is an idiom used to describe someone promising more than they can deliver, often to persuade someone to do something. (असंभव वादे करना)
      • Example: Politicians often promise the earth to get votes in elections.
    • Hence, the correct meaning of 'promised the earth' is 'Promised an impossible thing'.

    Therefore, the correct answer is- "Option 1".

    Additional Information

    • Option 2: 'Promised an inexpensive thing' is incorrect as the idiom 'promised the earth' has nothing to do with the cheapness or expensiveness of the promise.
    • Option 3: 'Promised land' is a different idiom that typically refers to a desired or promised place of happiness or success, not related to 'promised the earth'.
    • Option 4: 'Promised a necklace' is also incorrect. The idiom 'promised the earth' has no specific connection with promising a necklace.
