  • Question 1
    5 / -1

    Match the blanks in List-I with the verb forms in List-II:

    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The primary issue in the sentence is ensuring the correct verb tense and form is used to match the context.
    • Each verb in List-II must be appropriately matched to the context provided in List-I.
    • For example, (A) "They will complete the project by the deadline" correctly uses the future tense to indicate an action that will be finished in the future.
    • Similarly, (B) "He was washing the car when I called him" uses the past continuous tense to describe an ongoing action in the past.

    Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

    Correct Matches:

    • (A) - (III): They will complete the project by the deadline.
    • (B) - (II): He was washing the car when I called him.
    • (C) - (IV): She has read five books this year.
    • (D) - (I): I have been writing a letter to my friend every week.

    Additional Information

    • (A): "They will complete the project by the deadline" uses the future tense to indicate an action that will be finished in the future.
    • (B): "He was washing the car when I called him" uses the past continuous tense to describe an ongoing action in the past.
    • (C): "She has read five books this year" uses the present perfect tense to describe an action that occurred at an unspecified time before now.
    • (D): "I have been writing a letter to my friend every week" uses the present perfect continuous tense to describe an action that started in the past and is still continuing.
  • Question 2
    5 / -1

    Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

    Covert

    Solution

    Key Points

    • Let us look at the meanings of the given word and the correct answer. 
      • Covert: not openly shown.
        • Example: They had to carry out the covert military operation. 
      • Observable: that can be noticed or seen.
        • Example: She has many observable qualities that are liked by everyone. 
    • Thus, the word 'observable' is the most appropriate antonym of 'covert'.
    • Hence, option 3) is the correct answer.

    Additional Information

  • Question 3
    5 / -1

    In the following questions, some parts of the sentence have been jumbled up. You are required to re-arrange these parts which are labelled PQ, R and S to produce the correct sentence. Choose the proper sequence and mark in your answer sheet accordingly.

    Technology transfer

    P from one country to another

    Q either through a government policy

    R or via private channels of communications

    S implies the transfer of technical knowledge

    Which of the following is the correct sequence?

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The correct sequence is "SPQR
    • S "implies the transfer of technical knowledge": This sentence suggests that technology transfer refers to the transfer of technical knowledge from one place to another. When technical knowledge is shared, it allows the receiving country to learn and implement new skills, techniques, and methods to improve its technology-related operations.
    • P "from one country to another:" This sentence states that technology transfer occurs when it happens from one country to another. In the globalized world we live in, countries often exchange knowledge and technology to improve their operations and contribute to the growth of their economies.
    • "Q" "either through a government policy:" This sentence suggests that technology transfer can occur through government policies. Governments often implement policies to encourage and regulate the transfer of technology to their country. Such policies may provide tax incentives or other benefits to companies that engage in technology transfer.
    • R "or via private channels of communications:" This sentence suggests that technology transfer can also occur through private channels of communication, such as partnerships or joint ventures between companies in different countries. In such cases, private companies may negotiate and agree to share technology or knowledge with each other for mutual benefit.
    • In summary, the correct order of the sentences suggests that technology transfer is the process of transferring technical knowledge from one country to another, either through government policies or private channels of communication.
    • Thus, the correct order is "SPQR"

    Correct arrangement:  Technology transfer is the process of transferring technical knowledge from one country to another, either through government policies or private channels of communication.

  • Question 4
    5 / -1

    Choose the most appropriate determiner in the given sentence.

    Can you see ________ boys up on the hill?

    Solution

    Key Points

    • A word that changes describes, or introduces a noun is known as a determiner.
    • When pointing to anything farther away which is in plural form, the word "those" is used.
    • Here the 'boys' are the plural form of boy and also they are up on the hills. So, the determiner will be 'those' before boys.

    So, the correct sentence: Can you see those boys up on the hill?

    Additional Information

    • We can see that the boys are in plural form, then 'that' will not be the perfect determiner.
    • Not all the boys are going to the hills. Some particular boys are going and someone is showing them.
    • "These" will be used when we are considering somethings that are near us. But here the boys are showed up on the hills. So, 'these' will not be used in the given blank.
  • Question 5
    5 / -1

    Choose the appropriate conjunction for the given sentence:

    _______ you have a minimum of 320 score in GRE, you are unlikely to get a seat in American universities.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • Conjunctions are words used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate terms in the same clause.
    • We use the conjunction unless to mean ‘except if’. The clause which follows unless is a subordinate clause: it needs a main clause to make a complete sentence.
    • When unless comes before the main clause, we use a comma:
      • Example- Unless it rains, we’ll go for a picnic by the river tomorrow. 
    • When the main clause comes first, we don’t need a comma:
      • Example- They won’t come unless you invite them.
    • So 'unless' is the most appropriate conjunction here for the given sentence.

    Additional Information

    • However, a conjunction (joining two clauses) is used to connect two contrasting ideas
      • Example- You can arrange the furniture however you want.
    • We use until as a subordinating conjunction to connect an action or an event to a point in time.

      • Example- No one left the room until the talk ended.​​

    • Otherwise is used to mean 'if not' or 'or else'.

      • Example- Attend classes regularly otherwise you will face attendance issues.

  • Question 6
    5 / -1

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    The lecture _______ by the doctor on healthy eating habits was very informative.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • "giving" is the present participle (verb+ing) form of "give". It is used only in continuous tenses.
    • "gave" is used for the third person singular only. Such as "He/She gave"
    • "Was" is already mentioned in this sentence.
    • If we use "was given" then the sentence will be "The lecture was given by the doctor on healthy eating habits was very informative." Using "was" twice in a sentence which is indicating the same subject (The lecture) is meaningless.
    • Therefore, "given" should be used as the sentence is written in the past tense.

    Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

    Complete sentence: The lecture given by the doctor on healthy eating habits was very informative.

  • Question 7
    5 / -1

    Match the blanks in List-I with the appropriate Homophones in List-II

    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    Solution

    Key Points

    • Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.
    • In the given sentences, we need to choose the correct homophone that fits the context of each sentence.
    • For sentence (A), "armor" is the correct homophone as it refers to the protective suit worn by knights.
    • For sentence (B), "accept" is the correct homophone as it means to agree to or receive something.
    • For sentence (C), "principal" is the correct homophone as it refers to the head of a school.
    • For sentence (D), "principle" is the correct homophone as it refers to a fundamental truth or belief.

    • (B) She didn't accept the invitation to the party.

  • Question 8
    5 / -1

    Match the idioms in List-I with the meanings in List-II:

    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    Solution

    Key Points

    • Each idiom in List-I has a specific meaning that matches with the options in List-II.
    • To determine the correct pairing, it's essential to understand the meaning of each idiom.
    • The idiom "to bite the bullet" means to handle a difficult situation bravely.

    • The idiom "to hit the nail on the head" means to make exactly the right point.
    • The idiom "to fly off the handle" means to react suddenly in a very angry way.

    • To kick the bucket: There are several theories about the origin of this idiom, but it generally means to die.
    • To hit the nail on the head: This idiom is believed to come from carpentry, where hitting the nail exactly on the head is a sign of precision.
