Question 10

In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error. 
Lucy has already cut the cake when we reached the party hall.

Accepted Answer

The sentence describes two past actions. The action that happened first (cutting the cake) should be in the past perfect tense, and the action that happened later (reaching the party hall) should be in the simple past tense. Therefore, 'Lucy has already' should be corrected to 'Lucy had already'.

Question 11

Select the passive form of the given sentence. 
People claim to have seen the wild and mad elephant in several cities.

Accepted Answer

The original sentence 'People claim to have seen...' is in the active voice. To convert it to passive voice, the object 'the wild and mad elephant' becomes the subject, and the verb 'claim' is changed to 'is claimed'. The infinitive 'to have seen' becomes 'to have been seen' in the passive voice. Option 3 correctly applies these transformations.

Question 12

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given
sentence. If no substitution is required, select No improvement. 
I wish if I was the Principal of my school.

Accepted Answer

The sentence expresses an unreal or hypothetical wish. In such cases, the subjunctive mood is used, which requires 'were' for all persons, including 'I'. Therefore, 'I were' is the correct substitution.

Question 13

Select the most appropriate option for blank No. 1.

Accepted Answer

The word 'major' is the most appropriate option to describe something of great importance or significance, fitting the context of a blank that likely refers to a significant aspect. The other options do not convey the same level of importance.

Question 14

Select the most appropriate option for blank No. 2.

Accepted Answer

The question asks to select the most appropriate word to fill in blank No. 2. Without the full sentence, 'intention' is the most suitable word among the given options for a general fill-in-the-blanks context, implying purpose or plan.

Question 15

Select the most appropriate option for blank No. 3.

Accepted Answer

The word 'announced' fits best in the context of making something known publicly, which is typically done for results. 'Denounced' means to condemn, 'concealed' means to hide, and 'written' refers to the act of putting words on paper, none of which suit the context.

Question 16

Given below are four jumbled sentences. Out of the given options pick the one that gives
their correct order. 
A. There are many gadgets that are operated by a remote control and contain a silicon chip. 
B. This produces an infra-red beam, made up of electromagnetic waves. 
C. When a button is pressed on the remote control, the chip sets off an electronic vibration. 
D. The beam carries a coded signal for operating the systems.

Accepted Answer

Sentence A introduces the topic of remote controls and silicon chips. Sentence C logically follows by explaining what happens 'When a button is pressed on the remote control'. Sentence B describes the 'infra-red beam' produced by the electronic vibration mentioned in C. Finally, D explains the function of this 'beam'.

Question 17

Select the most appropriate word to ﬁll in the blank. 
Health should be our ﬁrst priority and should never be ______.

Accepted Answer

The sentence implies that health is important and should not be ignored or given less attention. 'Neglected' means to pay no attention to or disregard, which fits the context perfectly.

Question 18

Select the most appropriate word to ﬁll in the blank. 
A colour blind person is not able to ______ between colours.

Accepted Answer

The sentence describes the inability of a colour blind person to tell the difference between colours. 'Distinguish' means to recognize or point out a difference, which perfectly fits the context.

Question 19

In a certain code language, ‘MOHAN’ is coded as 39-45-24-3-42 and ‘KABIR’ is coded
as 33-3-6-27-54. How will ‘RAGHU’ be coded in that language?

Accepted Answer

The pattern involves multiplying the positional value of each letter by 3. For MOHAN, M(13)*3=39, O(15)*3=45, H(8)*3=24, A(1)*3=3, N(14)*3=42. Applying this to RAGHU: R(18)*3=54, A(1)*3=3, G(7)*3=21, H(8)*3=24, U(21)*3=63.

Question 20

Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second
number is related to the first number.
13 : 1728 :: 17 : ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is (Number - 1)^3. For the first pair, (13 - 1)^3 = 12^3 = 1728. Applying the same logic to the second pair, (17 - 1)^3 = 16^3 = 4096.
