Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Can you arrange for the consignment ______ delivered on Monday?

Accepted Answer

The phrase 'arrange for' is typically followed by an infinitive phrase (to + verb base form) when referring to an action that needs to be done. Therefore, 'to be delivered' is the correct construction.

Question 5

If 80% of a number is 768, what will be 40% of 5% of that number?

C.A huge plane was forced to crash land when its landing gear got stuck.
D. They were amazed when they discovered what had caused the mechanical failure.

Accepted Answer

The passage describes an event chronologically. Sentence C introduces the problem (plane crash-landing due to landing gear), followed by A, where mechanics work on it. D describes their amazement at finding the cause, which is then revealed in B. Thus, CADB forms a coherent sequence.

Question 14

In a certain code, ‘Tim Dim Kim’ means ‘India Is Big’ and ‘Dim Gim Kim Se Rim’ means
‘Tiger Is A Big Cat’. Which of the following is the code for ‘India’?

Accepted Answer

We are given two statements: 'Tim Dim Kim' means 'India Is Big' and 'Dim Gim Kim Se Rim' means 'Tiger Is A Big Cat'. The common words in the codes are 'Dim' and 'Kim', and the common words in the meanings are 'Is' and 'Big'. This means 'Dim' and 'Kim' correspond to 'Is' and 'Big' (in any order). Since 'India' is present only in the first statement and its remaining code is 'Tim', 'India' must be coded as 'Tim'.
