Choose the word for (iii).

A
amateurish

B
genuine

C
virtuous

D
judgemental

Solution

'Virtuous', which means 'having high moral standards', would be the correct answer. 'Amateurish' is not correct as 'and' suggests the usage of a positive word. 'Genuine' means 'authentic' and it has nothing to do with good intentions. 'Judgemental' is also inappropriate as per the context.

Choose the word for (iv).

A
aware

B
respectful

C
ignorant

D
adapted

Solution

The context (awkward ... looking bad in manner, careless in speech, and heedless of social demands, and even of the arbitrary dictates of fashion) suggests that the word in the blank presents a negative connotation. So, only 3 fits.

Choose the word for (v).

A
rustic

B
considerate

C
ungraceful

D
pensive

Solution

'Rustic' is used to denote rural lifestyle and is out of context here. 'Considerate' is a positive word and unfit to be paired with 'awkward' in the context. 'Pensive' is also inappropriate as per the context. Therefore, 'ungraceful' is the correct answer.

Choose the word for (vi).

A
abhorrence

B
ridicule

C
hatred

D
flattery

Solution

A person who is awkward in manner, careless in speech or not concerned with fashion is not hated but ridiculed (option 5 - ridicule). 'Abhorrence' and 'hatred' are too extreme in this context. 'Flattery' is opposite in meaning to the required word here.

Choose the word for(vii).

A
neglected

B
accepted

C
deferred

D
welcomed

Solution

'Condemned', which means 'criticised', suggests the usage of a negative word in the blank. 'Disabled' and 'neglected' are negative options here, but 'disabled' does not fit in the context. Therefore, 'neglected' is the correct answer. A person who is awkward in manners may be neglected.
