Question 7

Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the
right order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. This invention has helped us to heal wounds caused by bacteria.
B. Penicillin is one of the most useful drugs man has invented.
C. In the beginning however, very few people knew of this discovery and its use.
D. Its use has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Accepted Answer

Sentence B introduces the topic of Penicillin. Sentence A and D describe its benefits, with A being a general benefit and D a specific one. Sentence C introduces a contrast regarding its initial reception. The logical flow is B (introduction) -> A (general benefit) -> D (specific benefit) -> C (contrast).

Question 8

Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word.

Accepted Answer

The word 'Vishious' is incorrectly spelled. The correct spelling is 'Vicious'. The other words 'Anxious', 'Moisture', and 'Mimic' are all spelled correctly.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Assign numerical values to each letter (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26). For 'FRENCH', sum the values (6+18+5+14+3+8 = 54) and multiply by 2 to get 108. For 'LOSS', sum the values (12+15+19+19 = 65). The given values are 114 and 47. This indicates a different pattern. Let's re-evaluate. The pattern is the sum of the positional values of the letters. For 'FRENCH': F(6) + R(18) + E(5) + N(14) + C(3) + H(8) = 54. The given value is 114. For 'LOSS': L(12) + O(15) + S(19) + S(19) = 65. The given value is 47. This is not a simple sum. Let's try the sum of positional values multiplied by the number of letters. FRENCH: 54 * 6 = 324 (not 114). LOSS: 65 * 4 = 260 (not 47). Let's try sum of positional values + number of letters. FRENCH: 54 + 6 = 60 (not 114). LOSS: 65 + 4 = 69 (not 47). Let's try sum of positional values * 2 + number of letters. FRENCH: 54 * 2 + 6 = 108 + 6 = 114. This works for FRENCH. Let's check LOSS: 65 * 2 + 4 = 130 + 4 = 134 (not 47). This pattern is incorrect. Let's re-examine the given values. FRENCH = 114, LOSS = 47. Let's try reverse alphabetical order (Z=1, Y=2, ... A=26). FRENCH: F(21) + R(9) + E(22) + N(13) + C(24) + H(19) = 108. This is close to 114. LOSS: L(15) + O(12) + S(8) + S(8) = 43. This is close to 47. The pattern is the sum of the reverse positional values of the letters + number of letters. For FRENCH: (21+9+22+13+24+19) + 6 = 108 + 6 = 114. This works. For LOSS: (15+12+8+8) + 4 = 43 + 4 = 47. This works. Now apply to COURSE: C(24) + O(12) + U(6) + R(9) + S(8) + E(22) = 81. Add the number of letters (6): 81 + 6 = 87.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

We need to test each option by swapping the given numbers in the equation and checking if the equation holds true. Swapping 36 and 14 (Option 4) gives 14 × 81 ÷ 9 – (88 ÷ 4) + 36 + (22 + 7) = 14 × 9 - 22 + 36 + 29 = 126 - 22 + 36 + 29 = 104 + 36 + 29 = 140 + 29 = 169, which is correct.

Question 13

Accepted Answer

The 'Doughnut Model' by Kate Raworth proposes a framework for sustainable development, aiming to meet human needs within planetary boundaries. It seeks a balance where people and the planet can thrive together, not advocating for the complete abandonment of technology or rapid development at the environment's expense.
