Question 7

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select
the part that contains the error from the given options.
Raman putted the vegetables / in the frying pan / and after adding some water, / closed the
lid.

Accepted Answer

The verb 'put' is irregular, and its past tense form is also 'put', not 'putted'. Therefore, 'Raman putted the vegetables' contains the error.

Question 8

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given
sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No substitution required’.
I asked Rahul that how far was his office from his home.

Accepted Answer

The sentence is in indirect speech. In indirect questions, 'that' is not used before the interrogative word (how far). Also, the clause structure should be subject + verb (his office was) and the tense should be consistent with the reporting verb (asked - past tense, so 'was' is correct, not 'is'). Option 1 correctly removes 'that' and maintains the correct word order and tense.

Question 9

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.
A place in a large institution, for the care of those who are ill

Accepted Answer

An infirmary is specifically a place in a large institution for the care of the sick. The other options refer to types of lodging or storage.

Question 10

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.
A group of stars

Accepted Answer

The term 'constellation' specifically refers to a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern, often named after mythological figures or animals. The other options are incorrect as 'astronomy' is the study of celestial objects, 'congregation' is a gathering of people, and 'planets' are celestial bodies orbiting a star, not a group of stars themselves.

Question 14

Select the correct option that indicates the arrangement of the given words in the order in
which they appear in an English dictionary.
1. Success
2. Surreal
3. Succumb
4. Suction
5. Surrogate
6. Surprise

Accepted Answer

To arrange words in dictionary order, compare them letter by letter from left to right. 'Succumb' comes before 'Suction', and 'Surprise' comes before 'Surreal'. Following this logic, the correct order is 1, 3, 4, 6, 2, 5.

Question 15

Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is
related to the first word. 
Awful : Nice : : Nomadic : ?

Accepted Answer

The relationship between 'Awful' and 'Nice' is that they are antonyms. Following the same logic, we need to find the antonym of 'Nomadic'. 'Nomadic' means wandering or not having a fixed home, so its antonym is 'Settled'.

Question 16

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in
the following series.
37, 52, 74, 104, 143, ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive terms are 15, 22, 30, 39. The second differences are 7, 8, 9. Following this pattern, the next second difference should be 10, making the next first difference 39 + 10 = 49. Therefore, the next term in the series is 143 + 49 = 192.

Question 17
