  • Question 1
    4 / -1

    I will not go to work today as I am feeling under the weather.

    Solution

    The idiom 'under the weather' means 'slightly unwell or in low spirits.'

    Therefore, 'being sick' is the correct answer.

  • Question 2
    4 / -1

    Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blanks.

    _______ had she stepped out of her house when the rain started.

    Solution

    The correct answer is 'Hardly'.

    • 'Hardly.... when' is correlative conjunction; we use hardly at the beginning of a sentence before an auxiliary to say that one thing happens very soon after another thing
    • 'Hardly' is always used with 'when' whereas 'No sooner' is used with 'than'.
    • For e.g.- Hardly had the bell rung when he started running out of his classroom
    • So, according to the above-mentioned points 'hardly' is the correct answer.
  • Question 3
    4 / -1

    Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blanks.

    The volcanic eruption ________ destroyed the whole village.

    Solution

    The correct answer is 'nearly'.

    'nearly' is the correct solution because it means almost and is the adverb form of near. 'near' is noun form of near. 'nearest' is it superlative form and 'nearer' is its comparative form which are wrong because they are used for comparison.

    So, the correct answer is, The volcanic eruption nearly destroyed the whole village.

  • Question 4
    4 / -1

    Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blanks.

    Interest to serve the merchants has been _______ since digitization _______ at the merchant's end.

    Solution

    The correct answer is growing, started.

    • The first option is incorrect as 'grown' is the past participle form of the verb. 'Started' is still okay for the second blank but 'grown' is not fit for the first blank.
    • The second option is correct as 'growing' is the present participle of the verb, the present perfect continuous is formed using has/have + been + present participle and 'started' is the past tense of the verb.
    • The third option is incorrect as 'grow' is the base or simple form of the verb. 'Started' is still okay for the second blank but 'grow' is not fit for the first blank.
    • The fourth option is incorrect as 'starting' is the present participle of the verb. 'Growing' is still okay for the first blank but 'starting' is not fit for the second blank.

    B. School teachers try to do their best from the early years by ordering, “Silence!” every few seconds in the class.

    C. They look sweet and elegant but the moment they open their mouths, they let out a shattering volume of sound.

    D. Someone noted recently that present-day babies are peculiarly loud-throated.

    Solution

    The correct order is "DCBA".

    ​The sentence 'D' is independent of any other sentence as it is giving general information about "present-day babies". So, 'D' is the first part.

    The pronoun "they" mentioned in the sentence 'C' refers back to the 'babies' mentioned in the sentence 'D'. So, 'C' follows 'D'.

    The word 'Silence!' in the sentence 'B' is linked with the phrase 'shattering volume of sound' mentioned in the sentence 'C'. So, 'B' follows 'C'.

    The sentence 'A' is the concluding sentence. So, 'A' is the last sentence.

  • Question 9

    A. But he seems to have become weary when it came to the ears.

    C. God constructed the human body with a lot of forethought and solicitude.

    D. He left them as the most vulnerable part of a human being.

    Solution

    The correct order is - CADB.

    Sentence C introduces us to the subject 'God and the way he made the human body'. It is the introductory sentence and will be put in the first place.

    Sentence A tells us about God's condition while making ears. It will be put in second place.

    Sentence D tells us about the human ear as the most vulnerable part of the body. It will be put in third place.

    The last sentence is B as it mentions the human's pursuit of silence.

  • Question 10
    4 / -1

    A. Although Sonu had many more that he wanted to ask, he realised mummy was tired and became silent.

    B. She answered a few and then stopped.

    C. When mummy returned from work, she took Sonu for a walk.

    D. But she was too tired to answer all his questions.

    Solution

    The correct order is "CDBA".

    The sentence 'C' is independent of any other sentences as it is giving general information about "mummy". So, 'C' is the first part.

    The pronoun "his" mentioned in the sentence 'D' refers back to the noun 'Sonu' mentioned in the sentence 'C'. So, 'D' follows 'C'.

    The word 'answered' in the sentence 'B' is linked with the word 'questions' mentioned in the sentence 'D'. So, 'B' follows 'D'.

    The sentence 'A' is the concluding sentence. So, 'A' is the last sentence.
