  • Question 1
    4 / -1

    Direction: In the following question, a word is given, which has been used in the three statements given below it. Identify the statement(s) in which the word fits contextually to convey a logical meaning.

    Hoarse

    1) He warned her that if she keeps shouting all the time, she would make a hoarse of herself.

    2) “Your attitude towards the job is absolutely ridiculous and hoarse. You would lose it like that”, she said.

    3) The little boy could not convey his message to the elders due to his short breath and hoarseness.

    Solution

    The word ‘hoarse’ is used to rough voice coming out of sore throat.

    Option 1 mentions of ‘her shouting and making hoarse of herself’, which is incorrect as ‘hoarse’ could be used to show her voice after shouting too much, but not for herself. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

    Option 2 incorrectly uses the word ‘hoarse’ for attitude, which is not appropriate. Attitude could be rough or rude, but the word ‘hoarse’ is incorrect to characterize that.

    Option 3 states that the little boy could not convey the message due to hoarseness in his throat. This option has used the word appropriately.

  • Question 2
    4 / -1

    Direction: In the following question, a word is given, which has been used in the three statements given below it. Identify the statement(s) in which the word fits contextually to convey a logical meaning.

    Urn

    1) Since he died, his widow urns to get one glimpse of him.

    2) The decoration on the lid and the carving at the edges made the urn look like a precious antique.

    3) It has been extremely embarrassing for her to let everyone know her urn to steal things.

    Solution

    ‘Urn’ is a large container used to either hold the ashes of a dead person or for decorative purposes in a garden. Therefore, we know that ‘urn’ is a noun.

    Option 1 confuses the word ‘urn’ with ‘yearn’, which means longing for someone.

    Option 2 uses ‘urn’ appropriately as it mentions of some decoration and carving done to make the vase/container look like a valuable.

    Option 3 again confuses ‘urn’ with ‘urge’. ‘She’ was embarrassed to let everyone know about her ‘urge’ to steal and not ‘urn’. So, option 2 is the only one that uses ‘urn’ in its correct meaning.

  • Question 3
    4 / -1

    Direction: In the following question, a word is given, which has been used in the three statements given below it. Identify the statement(s) in which the word fits contextually to convey a logical meaning.

    Intend

    1) The minister has announced her intend to fight in the upcoming elections.

    2) I remember making a promise to her and still intend to keep it.

    3) Our intend is to go to Australia by the end of next year.

    Solution

    The word intend is the verb form of ‘intent’, which is the short-form of ‘intention’. The word means the will to achieve something. Sentence 1 and 3 use the noun form of ‘intent’, which is incorrect. Sentence 2 uses ‘intend’ in its verb form, making it the only correct choice.

  • Question 4
    4 / -1

    Direction: In the following question, a word is given, which has been used in the three statements given below it. Identify the statement(s) in which the word fits contextually to convey a logical meaning.

    Utter

    1) It was utter pleasure to lie down in the Jacuzzi.

    2) She was in absolute utter of the fact that the entire village was going to be drowned.

    3) The manager sat in the meeting till the end without uttering a single word.

    Solution

    The word ‘utter’ has two meanings. One is to make some noise or say something, while the second represents something extreme. Line 1 uses the latter meaning while line 3 uses the former meaning of the word. Line 2 does not place the word in the sentence meaningfully, that’s why omitting it from the list of correct answers.

  • Question 5
    4 / -1

    Direction: In this question, two columns I and II and three sentences are given, which are divided into two parts. Column I (A, B and C) consists of first half of each sentence and Column II (D, E and F) consists of second half of each sentence. Match column I with column II, so that the sentences formed are both meaningful and grammatically correct. Choose the option as your answer.

    I

    A) They could not provide police with any evidence to prove their accusation,

    B) Vaporizers do not just waft lovely aromas,

    C) He is now a sprightly 90 and I felt a surge of nostalgia as

    II

    D) but can also look beautiful in your home as the candle gently flickers away.

    E) we shake hands and then hug.

    F) so both of them were arrested

    Solution

    A joins with F and B joins with D to make logical statements. A and F join to show that both were arrested by the police, and B and D join to mean that vaporizers add beauty to the interiors of a house. C and E is not correct due to the error in the use of tense. In the first half of the sentence, the narrator has used the past tense, while in the second part it changes to the present tense.

  • Question 6
    4 / -1

    Direction: In this question, two columns I and II and three sentences are given, which are divided into two parts. Column I (A, B and C) consists of first half of each sentence and Column II (D, E and F) consists of second half of each sentence. Match column I with column II, so that the sentences formed are both meaningful and grammatically correct. Choose the option as your answer.

    I

    A) Having finished his skillet eggs and cappuccino

    B) It is sad, because we all need help or

    C) You feel like you are in the cockpit of a spaceship bound for Mars

    II

    D) even expertise guidance around modern hotel rooms.

    E) Jim posed for photos and chided me for having picked up the tab.

    F) because here are few different knobs and buttons.

    Solution

    A joins with E to show that Jim posed for photos after finishing off his meal. Apart from this, B joins with D to show that guidance is required by everyone around hotel rooms. C joins with F to show that the presence of so many knobs and buttons gives a feel of a cockpit. The latter two cannot be considered the correct answers since there are errors in these.

    Error in B-D lies in the use of ‘expertise guidance’. The words ‘expertise’ and ‘guidance’ are both adjectives, which cannot come one after the other. Error in C-F lies in the use of ‘few different’ together. ‘Few’ is to be used as ‘a few’.

  • Question 7
    4 / -1

    Direction: In this question, two columns I and II and three sentences are given, which are divided into two parts. Column I (A, B and C) consists of first half of each sentence and Column II (D, E and F) consists of second half of each sentence. Match column I with column II, so that the sentences formed are both meaningful and grammatically correct. Choose the option as your answer.

    I

    B) Almonds are high in vitamin E, riboflavin, fibre, phosphorus,

    C) When she first told her parents about her interest in dancing, they were confused since

    II

    D) magnesium, protein, and calcium.

    E) where there is lots of leg and head room.

    F) they were not sure about their capacity to afford this hobby.

    Solution

    A joins E to mean that the vehicle has an advantage of extra leg and head room. B joins D to mean that almonds are rich in several vitamins and minerals. Finally, C joins F to mean that her parents were confused about their capacity to afford her dancing hobby. None of these sentences has any error.

  • Question 8
    4 / -1

    Direction: In this question, two columns I and II and three sentences are given, which are divided into two parts. Column I (A, B and C) consists of first half of each sentence and Column II (D, E and F) consists of second half of each sentence. Match column I with column II, so that the sentences formed are both meaningful and grammatically correct. Choose the option as your answer.

    I

    A) The combination of nutrients in the pulses will give you an energetic feeling for the next few hours,

    B) Alcohol leaves a strong acidic ash in the body, which make the body

    C) It’s that time of year when the smog descends in thick blankets

    II

    D) and chokes up the city with dust and smoke.

    E) but at the same time, you are less likely to feel sluggish.

    F) vulnerable to illness.

    Solution

    The sentences A and E join together to mean that nutrients might get energy on consumption, but at the same time give a feeling of lethargy as well. The sentence does not contain any grammatical error. C and D link together to mean that smog chokes the city with its dust and smoke. This sentence also does not contain any grammatical flaws. The third sentence, i.e. B and F join to give a meaning that alcohol makes a person vulnerable to illness, but since the sentence has error with the word ‘make’, it cannot be included as an option. Since the word ‘make’ is used with ‘ash’, which is a singular noun, the word ‘make’ needs to be changed to ‘makes’.

  • Question 9
    4 / -1

    Direction: In this question, two columns I and II and three sentences are given, which are divided into two parts. Column I (A, B and C) consists of first half of each sentence and Column II (D, E and F) consists of second half of each sentence. Match column I with column II, so that the sentences formed are both meaningful and grammatically correct. Choose the option as your answer.

    I

    A) When the fishing was done, he brought

    B) Although Sri Lanka has cuisines of its own, connections of history and geography make much of its

    C) One evening they got chatting with some of the guests and since

    II

    D) quite similar to the Indian cuisines of the south.

    E) everyone was staying in that night, they decided to do a small potluck.

    F) the net it to the fisherman.

    Solution

    A joins with F to mean that the fisherman was returned the net after the fishing was done. This sentence does not contain any error. B and D along with C and E together give meanings to the sentences, however, both the sentences contain errors. The error in B-D is due to a missing word between ‘much of its’ and ‘quite similar’. Both B and D talk about cuisines, so we know that they join together. Error in C-E lies in the use of ‘small’ with potluck. Potluck is a gathering done to share food, which cannot be small since the word ‘small’ is used with characterize the size of something.

  • Question 10
    4 / -1

    Direction :In the given question, a part of the sentence is printed in bold. Below the sentence alternatives to the bold part are given at (A), (B), (C) and (D) which may help improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case the given sentence is correct, your answer is (E), i.e., ‘No correction required’.

    Private investors eager to sign us projects anxious of getting out of their comfort zone in developing countries with little history of political or economic continuity.

    i. are hesitant to venture into uncertain areas

    ii. hesitate to enter risky scenarios

    iii. are reluctant to step into caution zones

    Solution

    The sentence talks about how private investors who are eager to sign US projects are reluctant to do the same in developing countries. Both (i) and (ii) suffice as per the context of the sentence. Thus, (B) is the right answer.

    The highlighted phrase is incorrect as we need a helping verb such as ‘are’ before ‘anxious’. Option (iii) is incorrect as ‘caution’ is a noun and cannot modify another noun such as ‘zones’.
