In Martin Amis' new novel, the narrator is trapped and hurtling towards a terrible secret, its resolution and the dreadful revelations it brings, ally to give an excruciating vision of guilt.

A
ally to give an excruciating vision of guilt

B
to us give a vivid picture of guilt

C
is a painful picture of a guilt ridden world

D
does not really solve all the questions in the narrator's mind

Solution

Since the underlined part is preceded by a comma, B and D provide an abrupt transition. Since the author is talking about resolution and the dreadful revelations, singular verb 'is' cannot follow it. A is grammatically correct and fits well in the context. Thus, A is the correct answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

How many times have I asked myself: when is the world going to start to make sense? There is a monster out there, and it is rushing towards me over the uneven ground of consciousness.

A
There is a monster out there

B
It is as if the world is on my shoulders

C
The answer is out there somewhere

D
There is a sea of sensibility in me

Solution

Option D is wrong as it says "sensibility is in me" and the second phrase says "rushing towards me" => Contradiction

A monster is unrelated in the given context => Option A is wrong.

"World is rushing towards me" does not make sense => Option B is wrong.

Hence, option C is the answer.
Question 4
1 / -0

A
Contemplating whether to exist

B
Combining realistic details

D
Aware that he had been born

Solution

Contemplate means think about. The dependent clause "Thinking to exist with a romantic temperament" does not relate to the independent clause.

Option D is wrong as using it with the independent clause is grammatically incorrect.

Realistic details and romantic temperament is a better combination than brilliant mind and romantic temperament in the given context.

Hence, option B is the answer.

A

A
is reprehensible

B
is sordid

C

D

Solution

"Justice" and "Vengeance" are contextually very different in meaning. A justice makes the victim feel satisfied, that is, it closes the book on misdeed. Whereas vengeance starts the chain and this act continues. Option C correctly summarizes the point.

The Board of Directors will hold its next meeting in July.

B
The Board of Directors will hold it's next meeting in July.

C
The Board of Directors shall hold the next meeting in July.

D
The Board of Directors shall hold it's next meeting in July.

Solution

'The Board of Directors' is a collective noun. So, it takes the singular verb 'its'. It's is an incorrect usage in this context because it actualy means 'it is'. Option a) is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the option which contains a mistake.

A
In the history of mankind

B
it has always been

C
minority which have been

D

Solution

1 / -0

A
The Indian government's choice

B
