Question 3

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case
no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.
I don’t fancy to go out this evening.

Accepted Answer

The verb 'fancy' is typically followed by a gerund (V-ing), not an infinitive (to + V). Therefore, 'fancy going out' is the correct construction. The original sentence 'I don't fancy to go out this evening' is grammatically incorrect.

Question 7

Eight friends, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W, are sitting in the same order anticlockwise
around a circular table at equal distances between them, with all facing the centre of
the table. If Q is sitting in the south-east, then in which direction is W sitting?

Accepted Answer

The friends are sitting in anticlockwise order. If Q is in the South-East, then moving anticlockwise, P would be to Q's immediate right. Following this pattern, W would be two positions anticlockwise from Q, placing W in the South-West direction.

Question 8

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the
* signs and balance the given equation.
54 * 36 * 12 * 18 * 24 * 24

Accepted Answer

We need to test each option by substituting the mathematical signs into the equation and checking if it balances. Option 2: 54 ÷ 36 × 12 - 18 + 24 = 24. Following the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS), 54 ÷ 36 = 1.5, then 1.5 × 12 = 18, then 18 - 18 + 24 = 24. This balances the equation.

Question 19

Hot water can be a pollutant if it comes from:
(a) A hot spring (b) A power plant (c) An industry

Accepted Answer

Hot water becomes a pollutant when it is discharged from human-made sources like power plants and industries, as it can significantly alter aquatic ecosystems. Natural hot springs, while hot, are part of the natural environment and do not introduce unnatural thermal changes. Therefore, both power plants and industries are sources of thermal pollution.
