Question 12

In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
We had a long discussion at a cup of coffee.

Accepted Answer

The error lies in the preposition 'at'. When referring to the context or occasion of a discussion, the correct preposition to use is 'over' or 'with', not 'at'. Therefore, 'at a cup' should be 'over a cup' or 'with a cup'.

Question 13

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence. 
A child could understand his theory.

Accepted Answer

The given sentence is in active voice with a modal verb 'could'. To change it to passive voice, the structure 'modal + be + past participle' is used. Therefore, 'could understand' becomes 'could be understood'.

Question 14

Select the correct option to ﬁll in blank 1.

Accepted Answer

The sentence likely involves a comparison, indicated by the word 'rather'. The correct conjunction to use with 'rather' in a comparative structure is 'than'.

Question 15

Select the correct option to ﬁll in blank 2.

Accepted Answer

The correct preposition to use with 'deal' when referring to a person or a topic is 'with'. 'Deal with' means to handle or manage something or someone. Options 'on', 'to', and 'by' are not grammatically correct in this context.

Question 16

Select the correct option to ﬁll in blank 3.

Accepted Answer

The blank requires a definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific item or concept that has likely been mentioned or is understood from the context of the larger passage. Options 'a' and 'an' are indefinite articles, and 'their' is a possessive pronoun.

Question 17

Given below are four jumbled sentences. Out of the given options pick the one that gives
their correct order. 
A. These lotteries organised by State Governments sell dreams. 
B. Lured by this, millions of poor people waste their hard-earned money. 
C. Crores of rupees and gold are offered as prizes. 
D. People buy lotteries hoping to become rich overnight.

Accepted Answer

The correct order should start with a general statement about lotteries, followed by the reason people buy them, then what is offered, and finally the consequence. 'D' introduces the idea of people buying lotteries, 'A' describes the lotteries, 'C' details the prizes, and 'B' explains the lure and its effect.

Question 18

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word. 
FICKLE

Accepted Answer

The word 'fickle' means changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties, interests, or affection. The most appropriate antonym is 'stable', which means not likely to change or fail.

Question 19

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom. 
Pull a fast one

Accepted Answer

The idiom 'pull a fast one' means to deceive or trick someone, often by doing something quickly or unexpectedly. Therefore, 'Trick someone' is the most appropriate meaning.

Select the most appropriate option to ﬁll in the blank. 
The poor man was ______ entry to the restaurant.
