    Trees are crucial to our long-term survival. They absorb and store the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global heating.

    1. When they absorb

    2. As they absorb

    3. Before the trees

    Solution

    The sentence after using the phrase is: Trees are crucial to our long-term survival, as they absorb and store the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global heating.

    The phrase which we should choose to connect the sentences is only 2.

    • The word 'as' means 'because'. So, the phrase 'As they absorb' would join the sentences appropriately.
    • 'When' is used to express 'during the time that'. Clearly, the phrase 'When they absorb' is not appropriate for the given sentences.
    • 'Before' is used to express 'earlier than'. So, we should not choose the phrase 'Before the trees' to join the given sentences.

    I. Some analysts expect price pressure as the government’s crackdown on smog hurts factory output.

    II. Beijing is already in the second year of a campaign to reduce high levels of debt, keeping liquidity conditions relatively tight as it seeks to flush out speculative financing.

    III. Growth, however, has remained strong this year, thanks to a construction boom that has driven up raw materials prices and in part fed inflationary pressures.

    Solution

    The original fragment contains while. This indicates the fragment following should be contradictory in nature.

    I. While, in a sign that the economy remains robust, consumer inflation picked up pace, some analysts expect price pressure as the government’s crackdown on smog hurts factory output.

    Statement I conveys the same point that the inflation is expected to go further up. Thus, both the fragments go in the same direction and do not make sense.

    II. While, in a sign that the economy remains robust, consumer inflation picked up pace, Beijing is already in the second year of a campaign to reduce high levels of debt, keeping liquidity conditions relatively tight as it seeks to flush out speculative financing.

    Statement II is incorrect as inflation and debt levels do not make sense together and there is no continuity.

    III. While, in a sign that the economy remains robust, consumer inflation picked up pace, growth, however, has remained strong this year, thanks to a construction boom that has driven up raw materials prices and in part fed inflationary pressures.

    The original fragment conveys that growth remains robust. However, the second fragment also states the same but uses however to indicate that the previous fragment conveys the opposite.

  • Question 5
    4 / -1

    Direction:- Find the synonym of the underlined word.

    After listening to the testimony, the members of the jury delivered their verdict.

    Solution

    'Verdict' means a decision on an issue of fact in a civil or criminal case or an inquest.

    Example - "The jury returned a verdict of not guilty".

    'Decision' means a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration.

    Example - "I cannot make a decision before I discuss this with my parents".

    So, the synonym of "verdict" is "decision".

  • Question 6
    4 / -1

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.

    As I kept strict watch over my way of living, I could see that it was necessary to economize. I, therefore, decided to reduce my expenses by half. My accounts showed numerous items spent on fares. Again, my living with a family meant the payment of a regular weekly bill. It also included the courtesy of occasionally taking members of the family out to dinner, and likewise attending parties with them. All this involved heavy items for conveyances, especially as, if the friend was a lady, custom required that the man should pay all the expenses. Also, dining out meant extra cost, as no deduction could be made from the regular weekly bill for meals not taken. It seemed to me that all these items could be saved, as likewise the drain on my purse. So I decided to take rooms on my own account, instead of living any longer in a family, and also to remove from place to place according to the work I had to do, thus gaining experience at the same time. The rooms were so selected as to enable me to reach the place of business on foot in half an hour, and so save fares. Before this I had always taken some kind of conveyance whenever I went anywhere, and had to find extra time for walks. The new arrangement combined walks and economy, as it meant a saving of fares and gave me walks of eight or ten miles a day. It was mainly this habit of long walks that kept me practically free from illness throughout my stay in England and gave me a fairly strong body.

    Thus I rented a suite of rooms; one for a sitting room and another for a bedroom. This was the second stage. The third was yet to come.
