Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Pick the word from the alternatives given that is most inappropriate in the given context.

Disuse: Some words fall into disuse as technology makes objects obsolete.

A
Prevalent

B
Discarded

C
Obliterated

D
Unfashionable

Solution

Disuse means being discarded, whereas prevalent is being in use. So, option a) is the most inappropriate word in this context.
Question 2
1 / -0

Pick the word from the alternatives given that is most inappropriate in the given context.

Specious: A specious argument is not simply a false one but one that has the ring of truth.

A
Deceitful

B
Fallacious

C
Credible

D
Deceptive

Solution

Specious means 'deceitful' whereas credible means 'convincing'.

So, option c) is the correct answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the Blanks: Since her face was free of _____ there was no way to _____ if she appreciated what had happened.

A
make-up ... realise

B
expression ... ascertain

C
emotion ... diagnose

D
scars ... understand

Solution

"Diagnose" is a wrong word for the 2 blank. Hence option C eliminated.

"Make-up" and "scars" are bad fit-in for the 1^st blank.

As her face was expressionless, there was no way to find if she appreciated what had happened. This sounds more meaningful. Hence option B is the answer.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the Blanks: The Darwin who _____ is most remarkable for the way in which he _____ the attributes of the world class thinker and head of the household.

A
comes ... figures

B
arises ... adds

C
emerges ... combines

D
appeared ... combines

Solution

"Combines" is a better fit for the 2^nd blank as it has to deal with two phrases, hence eliminating options A and B.

The word in the 1^st blank and the word "attributes" must be in the same tense. Hence option D is eliminated and the answer is option C.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the Blanks: But _____ are now regularly written not just for tools, but well-established practices, organisations and institutions, not all of which seem to be _____ away.

A
reports ... withering

B
stories ... trading

C
books ... dying

D
obituaries ... fading

Solution

We can identify the correct choice using the second blank: 'practices' do not wither or trade or die 'away'; they 'fade away.' Options A, B and C don't fit in the second blank and hence, can be eliminated.

In a large company, ... 1 ... people is about as common as using a gun or a switch-blade to ... 2 ... an argument. As a result, most managers have little or no experience of firing people, and they find it emotionally traumatic; as result, they often delay the act interminably, much as an unhappy spouse will prolong a bad marriage. And when the firing is done, it’s often done clumsily, with far worse side effects than are necessary. Do the worldclass software organizations have a different way of firing people? No, but they do the deed swiftly, humanely, and professionally. The key point here is to view the fired employee as a ‘failed product’ and to ask how the process ... 3 ... such a phenomenon in the first place.
