VARC Test - 2

According to grammar, The verbs advise, allow forbid and permit are followed by a gerund when they have no object but when they have the object we have to use an infinitive.

The concept behind it is→ the verbs given are transitive verbs hence after these verbs we have to write an object the object can only be a noun/pronoun/gerund. Whenever we don't have an object after these verbs then, write a gerund to make an object, and whenever an object is written write an infinitive, and the verb, which is written with the preposition 'to' i.e. 'to + v1', is written for the object of the main verb.

Correct sentence: The doctor advised him to take a course of antibiotics.

We should find out an adjective to qualify the nouns 'role' and 'job'. So, we should eliminate options A, C, and D.

The article 'a' is used before the blank. So we cannot choose 'attractive' which is an adjective. Therefore, 'commendable' is the only word that fits here.

The meaning of the word 'commendable' is 'praiseworthy or admirable'.

Complete sentences:

She has played a commendable role in the film.

The RBI has done a commendable job in preventing a crisis in NBFC sector.

Past tense is used in both sentences. Therefore, options (A) and (B) should be eliminated.

A company cannot be 'clarified' or 'appointed'. Thus, options (D) and (E) should be eliminated. So, 'established' is the only word that fits here appropriately.

The meaning of the word 'established' is 'set up or brought into being or laid the foundation of something'.

Complete sentences:

Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) was established by Dorabji Tata on 26 August 1907.

In 1990, TISCO began to expand and established its subsidiary, Tata Inc., in New York.

In the second sentence the preposition 'to' is used. Therefore, verb1 should be used after the preposition. Clearly, options (A), (B), (C), and (E) should be eliminated.

So, 'embrace' is the only word that fits well in both blanks.

The word 'embrace' means  'to hold in one's arms or to accept something'.

Complete sentences:

The pandemic has made more than half of the industry embrace negative growth.

She came inside the room to embrace her child.

The error of the sentence is in (A); mistakes are made, not done. Therefore the correct sentence is: 

Raju has made many mistakes in the essay he submitted to the teacher.

The correct sequence is SRQP. 

(S) explains the possible consequence of learning basic plant anatomy. 

It is followed by (R) which says what can one "become", the word which is stated in (S). 

"Not only" is followed by "but also" therefore (R) is followed by (P), but since the object of "not only" is mentioned in (Q), (P) comes after (Q). 

So, the correct sentence is: "By learning basic plant anatomy one can soon become proficient not only in telling species apart but also in knowing where to look for them in the guide".

The correct sequence is SRPQ. 

Either (P) or (S) can follow, but if we start with (P), sentence will not make a complete sense. 

(S) which explains specific category of children being talked about. It is followed by (R) which describes the families of the children. 

It is followed by (P) which says that such children possess vocabulary knowledge. It is followed by (Q) which explains the number of vocabulary they know.

The correct sequence is PRQS. 

(P) states whom does Miss Nelson teach Maths. It is followed by (R) which states the place where she teaches. 

It is followed by (Q) which says what she had done. The last part of the sentence should be (S) as it explains where the poetry competition took place. 

The correct sequence is RPSQ. 

Thus, (R) has to be the first part. (P) and (S) are mandatory pairs as they make logical sense (Q) carries the words which describe how the car goes. Thus, (Q) comes after (P) and (S). 

So, the correct sentence is: "Making the airflow is the best way better over the car to make the car go faster and smoother".

The correct sequence is SQRP. 

The first part must be (S) as none of the rest makes any sense. It introduces the subject of the sentence. 

(Q) must follow (S) as it mentions what she stares down at. (R) completes what she looks like. and (P) must follow (R) as the contrast after the conjunction ‘but’ is mentioned here. 

So, the correct sentence is-

She seems reticent, staring down at her phone, almost as if she wants to avoid the crowd but is friendly when approached.
