Question 10

In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
The modern man is busy acquiring more and more wealth and designing ways to invest it in
more sense pleasures.

Accepted Answer

The error is in option 1. The phrase 'in more sense pleasures' should be 'in more sensual pleasures' or 'in more pleasure-seeking activities'. 'Sense' is a noun, but here an adjective is required to modify 'pleasures'.

Question 11

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence. 
He said to me, "What are you doing?"

Accepted Answer

When converting an interrogative sentence from direct to indirect speech, 'said to' changes to 'asked', the question word (what) is retained as a conjunction, and the sentence structure becomes assertive (subject + verb). The tense also shifts from present continuous to past continuous.

Question 12

Select the most appropriate word to substitute the underlined word of the given sentence. If
no substitution is required, select ‘No improvement’. 
There is a great degrade in values in modern age.

Accepted Answer

The original sentence uses 'degrade' incorrectly as a noun. The correct noun form is 'degradation', and the correct preposition to follow it when referring to values is 'of'. Therefore, 'degradation of values' is the most appropriate substitution.

Question 13

Select the most appropriate option for blank no. 1

Accepted Answer

The question asks to select the most appropriate word for blank no. 1. Without the full sentence, we must infer based on the options and the 'most appropriate' instruction. 'Dependent' implies reliance or being controlled by something else, which is a common context for fill-in-the-blanks questions where one entity relies on another.

Question 14

Select the most appropriate option for blank no. 2

Accepted Answer

Without the full sentence, it's impossible to definitively choose the correct answer. However, sentence completion questions test vocabulary and contextual understanding. The correct option would be the one that fits grammatically and semantically into the blank.

Question 15

Select the most appropriate option for blank no. 3

Accepted Answer

The phrase 'call upon' means to formally ask someone to do something, or to visit someone. In the context of filling a blank, 'upon' is the correct preposition to complete this phrasal verb.

Question 16

Select the synonym of the given word. 
PATHETIC

Accepted Answer

The word 'pathetic' primarily means arousing pity, but it can also be used to describe something miserably inadequate or insignificant. Among the given options, 'insignificant' best captures this secondary meaning, making it a suitable synonym.

Question 17

Select the antonym of the given word. 
HILARIOUS

Accepted Answer

The word 'hilarious' means extremely amusing or funny. We need to find its opposite. 'Sad' means feeling or showing sorrow; unhappy, which is the direct antonym.

Question 18

Select the most appropriate word to ﬁll in the blank. 
It is an ______ day to start your new business.

Accepted Answer

The sentence implies a positive start for a new business. 'Auspicious' means conducive to success; favorable, which perfectly fits the context. The other options have negative or irrelevant meanings.

Question 19

Accepted Answer

Figure-based question. Compare the transformation rule in the prompt to each option figure.

Question 20

ȴदए गए ȵवकÒपǆ मƺ से वह वणµ-समूह चुनƺ जो ȵनÏनȷलȺखत Ĝृंखला मƺ Ēȏȶचȕ (?) के ×थान पर आएगा?
CLAP, HLVP, HQVK, MQQK, ?

Accepted Answer

Analyze the pattern for each letter position independently. The first letter follows a +5, +5, +5 pattern (C->H->M->R). The second letter follows a +0, +0, +0 pattern (L->L->Q->Q). The third letter follows a +5, +5, +5 pattern (A->V->K->F). The fourth letter follows a +0, +0, +0 pattern (P->P->K->K). Thus, the next term is RQLK.
