Weekly Quiz Competition

Does the Deccan Queen Express arrive__ Bombay Central or___ Victoria Terminus?

A
in__ in

B
at__ at

C
upto__in

D
upto__at

Solution

Answer is option (b) at----at
Question 2
1 / -0.25

In each of the following questions, a part/two of a sentence has been left blank. You are to select from among the options given below each question, the one which would best fill the blanks. In case of more than one blanks, the first word in the pair, given in the choices, should fill the first gap.

Their achievement in the field of literature is described as_________; sometimes it is even called________

A
magnificent, irresponsible

B
insignificant, influential

C
significant, paltry

D
unimportant, trivial

Solution

However their literature never amounted to much and therefore their achievement was unimportant and trivial. The sentence is such that the two words that fill the blanks should differ in degree but mean the same.
Question 3
1 / -0.25

In each of the following questions a related pair of words or phrases is followed by five lettered pairs of words or phrases. Select the lettered pair that best expresses a relationship that is least similar to the one expressed in the original pair.

GERMANE : PERTINENT

A
apt : appropriate

B
quick : urgent

C
dull : sluggish

D
excited : serene

Solution

Germane and pertinent are synonyms as are all the other pairs except excited and serene which are antonyms. Serene means calm and peaceful.
Question 4
1 / -0.25

Choose the right option that creates a coherent paragraph between sentences 1 & 6.

1. Violence is aggressive behavior with the intent to cause harm, either physical or psychological.

A. By contrast, hostile aggression more closely fits our definition of violence: It is performed for the purpose of harming (physically or psychologically) another person.

B. Instrumental aggression has as its purpose the achievement of a separate goal, the motive being not to harm, but to gain something else.

C. The word intent is central; physical or psychological harm that occurs by accident, in the absence of intent, is not violence.

D. All aggressive behavior can be divided into two fundamentally different types: instrumental aggression and hostile aggression.

6. Human beings and other animals differ in their use of hostile versus instrumental aggression:

Whereas human beings engage in both types of aggression, other animals primarily, if not exclusively, engage in instrumental aggression.

A
DCAB

B
CDBA

C
CABD

D
DBAC

Solution

The option begin with C & D. The immediate connection is among sentences D, B and A. Sentence D states the types of aggressive behaviours - instrumental and hostile. Sentence B defines instrumental aggression and sentence A contrasts hostile behaviour with instrumental behaviour. Therefore the sequence DBA is established. So options 1 and 3 are eliminated. Sentence 1 explains what violence is and sentence C explains what is not violence, hence sentence C follows 1. Further, sentence 6 directly connects with the sequence DBA. Option 3 is epimerized. Thus the correct sequence is CDBA.
Question 5
1 / -0.25

In each question, the word at the top is used in four different ways, numbered (a) to (d). Choose the option in which the usage of the word is Incorrect or Inappropriate.

BUNDLE

A
He made a bundle in the share market

B
It was sheer luck that brought a bundle of boy scouts to where I was lying wounded

C
The newborn body was a bundle of joy for the family

D
Mobile operators are offering a bundle of additional benefits

Solution

As a collective noun the phrase "bundle of boy scouts" is incorrect. Thus (b) has to be eliminated.
Question 6
1 / -0.25

A statement is followed by two possible implications. Study the statements and mark the correct choice.

He that runs fast will not run long.

1. Running exhausts a person:

2. Running fast is not good.

A
Statement 1 is implied.

B
Statement 2 is implied.

C
Both the statements are implied

D
Both the statements are not implied.

Solution

Ans. (d). Statement 1 is not implied because all that the statement says is a person who runs fast will not run for a long time. Exhaustion is not implied as a cause. Statement 2 is not implied because the statement does not impose any value judgment on the action of running fast being good or bad.
Question 7
1 / -0.25

Which is more useful, the Sun or the Moon? The Moon is more useful since it gives us light during the night, when it is dark, whereas the Sun shines only in the daytime, when it is light anyway!

What supposition does the author make in his statement?

A
Whatever gives us light is the most useful thing for mankind.

B
The Moon and the Sun are the sources of natural light known to mankind

C
Light in the daytime is caused by something other than the Sun.

D
The Moon and the Sun are equally capable of giving us light.

Solution

Light in the daytime is caused by something other than the Sun.

In each question, the word at the top is used in four different ways, numbered (a) to (d). Choose the option in which the usage of the word is Incorrect or Inappropriate.

HELP

A
This syrup will help your cold

B
I can't help the color of my skin

C
Ranjit may help himself with the beer in the fridge

D
Do you really expect me to help you out with cash?

Solution

Sentence (c) is to be eliminated as Ranjit may help himself "to" the beer in the fridge rather than help himself "with".
Question 9
1 / -0.25

Data: 1. He is enamored of India.

2. He visits the places he loves.

B
If statement 2 alone can bring us to the conclusion.

C
If both the statements 1 and 2 taken together can bring us to the conclusion.

D
If the statements taken separately or together cannot bring us to the conclusion.

Solution

Ans. (c). Given that he loves India and that he visits the places that he loves, we can combine the two statements to conclude that he will visit India.
Question 10
