  • Question 1
    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’.

    Without an immediate commitment to disruptive energy development through substantial international investment, as well as measures for unlocking private foreign capital, any resolutions will be hollowed out.

    i. any resolutions will not out as expected

    ii. any resolutions will not materialized

    iii. any resolutions will be no more than empty promises

    Solution

    The sentence talks about how any resolutions will not be successful without an immediate commitment to disruptive energy development. Both (i) and (iii) can replace the highlighted phrase to render the requisite contextual meaning. Thus, (C) is the right answer.

    The highlighted phrase is incorrect as ‘hollowed out’ should be replaced with ‘hollow’. In figurative terms, ‘hollow’ would mean something that will not come true, and ‘hollowed out’ can only be used in a literal sense to mean something that is made hollow. Option (ii) is incorrect as ‘materialized’ is in the simple past tense form, while we need a verb in its base form to follow the modal verb ‘will’.

  • Question 2
    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’.

    The rationale behind their demand is that more developed countries are more suits to provide an answer and, historically, are more responsible for creating the problem.

    i. more equipped to deal with the situation at hand

    ii. more suitably attuned to the problem

    iii. better able to meet the challenge

    Solution

    The sentence talks about how developed countries are in a better position to solve the problem. All the given alternatives can replace the highlighted part of the statement to render the requisite meaning. Thus, (D) is the right answer.

    The highlighted phrase is incorrect as ‘suited’ is an adjective while ‘suit’ is a verb. We need an adjective to be qualified by the adverb ‘more’.

  • Question 3
    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’.

    Television networks, presidents, and celebrity soccer players, from countries as far-flung as China, Mali, and Qatar, have taken interest in the world’s first, and best, ‘football freestyler’.

    i. have thrown the flashlight on the world’s first

    ii. have took notice of the world’s first

    iii. have caught site of the world’s first

    Solution

    The sentence talks about television networks, presidents and celebrity soccer players from remote countries have noticed the world’s best and first football freestyler. The highlighted phrase is grammatically and contextually correct. Thus, (E) is the right answer.

    Option (i) is incorrect as ‘flashlight’ refers to a torch; ‘spotlight’ means attention, and would have been more suitable.

    Option (ii) is incorrect as the present perfect tense construction ‘have + verb’ always takes the past participle of the verb; ‘taken’ would have been more suitable instead of ‘took’.

    Option (iii) is incorrect as ‘site’ means a place or location; it should be replaced with ‘sight’, as the phrase ‘caught sight’ means taken notice of, which would have made more sense in this context.

  • Question 4
    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’.

    To salvage cognac, distillers must adjust to global demands while keeping untouch the unique tradition behind their product.

    i. demands while maintain the unique

    ii. demands while remaining true to the unique

    iii. at the same time keeping intact the unique

    Solution

    The sentence talks about how distillers need to strike a balance between adjusting to global demands and maintaining the unique tradition of their product. Both (ii) and (iii) are contextually appropriate. Thus, (B) is the right answer.

    The highlighted phrase is incorrect as ‘untouch’ is grammatically incorrect; we need an adjective here, and ‘untouched’ would have been more suitable. Option (i) is incorrect as the present participle ‘maintaining’ is needed here to carry forward the sentence in a grammatically coherent manner.

    Castor oil is rich (A) in oleic acid and omega- 6 mandatory (B) fatty acids that replenish (C) the scalp’s natural oils and make hair longer, thicker (D) and shinier.

    Solution

    ‘Mandatory’ means something that has been ordered by an authority and must be done. Fatty acids are not mandating, they are important for our healthy existence. They are essential. So, we should use 'essential' instead of 'mandatory'. Hence, the correct answer is B.

  • Question 9
    4 / -1

    Direction: In each question, a sentence with four words printed in bold is given. These are numbered as (A), (B), (C) and (D). One of the four words printed in bold may either be misspelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Find out the word which is wrongly spelt or inappropriate. The number of that word is your answer. If all the words printed in bold are correctly spelt and also appropriate in the context of the sentence, mark (5), i.e., ‘All are correct’, as your answer.

    About (A) two weeks, his team managed (B) to clear around 4 tonnes of garbage from the city's (C) oldest water (D) system.

    Solution

    “About” is a preposition used to suggest a rough estimate about a thing (approximately). In the given sentence “about” could have been used, had the sentence been “About two weeks ago”. Since a time indicator is missing here, another preposition should be used to convey an appropriate sense. Thus, we can either use “in” or “within” to indicate that the work was completed in the duration of two weeks. Thus., option A is the correct answer.

  • Question 10
    4 / -1

    Direction: In the given question, a statement has been divided into five segments, each of which is denoted by (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). Rearrange all the segments to form a coherent statement.

    A) Modern–secular and cosmopolitan values

    B) Rationality and meritocracy

    C) Cities are

    D) Where people speak the language of

    E) Seen as representative of

    Solution

    Clearly, part C starts the sentence. Part C should be followed by a verb to indicate the action related to the cities. Hence, part E follows. This leaves us with options B and C. So, either A can follow E or B both of which seem logical after E. D is the second last part which again seems to be followed either by A or B. Now we must choose the appropriate part to be fllowed by D and E respectively.

    A language of “rationality and meritocracy” is a more appropriate term than a language of “modern–secular and cosmopolitan values”. Thus, D must be followed by B. So the correct sequence after rearrangement is CEADB.
