    Some companies tried to hire some 'IIT' students by offering very high salaries, but they were put on hold; that caused a lot of bad blood between the IITs and the companies.

    I. The reason for a great deal of ill feelings between the IITs and the companies was that the students were not provided with the salaries promised, that was delayed as well.

    II. The relationship between the IITs and some companies turned really sour as these companies had not appointed the students even after offering very high salaries.

    III. Though some companies tried to recruit some IIT students, yet they were not provided job and it caused heavy fights between representatives of both sides.

    Solution

    The phrase 'a lot of bad blood' refers to 'ill feelings', which is conveyed in alternatives I and II both. But alternative I changes the context of the sentence by stating that the salaries were not provided and delayed. It was the students who were put on hold and not their salaries. Alternative II is correct; 'relationship turning really sour' is in line with the mentioned phrase and the context also remains the same. 'Heavy fights' makes the alternative III incorrect. Option 2 is the answer.

    B. Victorian manufacturers done wooden horses with multiple seats to accommodate up to three children at a time.

    C. Expecting to be severe chastised, I was surprised by the captain's calm response.

    Solution

    A. 'Back' is redundant with 'returned', so it must be removed to make the sentence error-free.

    B. Incorrect word usage: In this sentence, wooden horses are constructed. So, the word 'made' should be used in place of 'done'.

    C. 'Severely chastised': Adverb form should be used to modify the verb 'chastised' (meaning 'punished').

  • Question 6

    C. 'Titanic' is regarded as one of the best movies which have been produced so far by the film industry

    Solution

    A. The correct phrase is 'better than'. We make use of preposition 'than' instead of 'to' with the word 'better'.

    B. We are comparing the gold of Dubai with the gold of any other country. So, 'that of' should be used (than that of any other country).

  • Question 8
    1 / -0.25

    Directions: In the following question, a part of the sentence is given in bold, it is then followed by three sentences which try to explain the meaning of the phrase given in bold. Choose the best set of alternatives from the five options given below the question which explains the meaning of the phrase correctly without altering the meaning of the sentence given as question.

    Your job may require being more strategic but your staff will respect you for doing what needs to be done and being willing to pitch in like everyone else at times.

    I. Though you may need to be strategic at your job, yet participating in tasks with staff at times and taking the required actions are the qualities that will get you respect from your staff.

    II. Along with being strategic at your job, you need to do the expected tasks and also to assist others at times to get respect from your staff.

    III. Your staff will respect you for doing the needful and resolving the conflicts of everyone at times, even if your job may require you to be more strategic.

    Solution

    The phrase refers to 'participating or assisting', which is covered in alternatives I and II. 'Resolving the conflicts' makes alternative III incorrect. The conjunction 'but' in the main sentence requires a contrast in the alternative sentences. In alternatives I and II, only alternative I is correct as it maintains the context by reflecting contrast presented by 'though…yet'. Alternative II changes the context; it does not reflect the contrast.
