(a) sensational Mecca Masjid blast
(b) case which acquits five accused
(c) the NIA special court judge Ravinder Reddy has resigned,
(d) it is learnt
(e) no error

Answer & Explanation

Exp. The given sentence is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful and hence, option (e) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

After Ms. Haley’s comments, / some in the administration/ suggested the sanctions/ now being considered/ could might rolled/ out by Monday.

(a) After Ms. Haley’s comments,
(b) suggested the sanctions
(c) now being considered
(d) could might rolled
(e) out by Monday

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. The phrase ‘could might rolled’ should be replaced either with ‘could be rolled’ or ‘might be rolled’

Could and might are not used together and when used alone ‘be’ is required after them to make it correct.

The Madras High Court on Monday/ ordered that a temple elephant in Salem city/ named Rajeswari should be euthanized/ therefore a local government veterinarian certifies/ that it would be cruel to keep/ the ailing animal alive any longer.

(a) The Madras High Court on Monday
(b) ordered that a temple elephant in Salem city
(c) named Rajeswari should be euthanized
(d) therefore, a local government veterinarian certifies
(e) the ailing animal alive any longer

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. Using ‘therefore’ gives incoherent meaning to the sentence but if it gets replaced with ‘if’, then it gives proper meaning to the paragraph that High court has allowed killing of an elephant ‘if’ a veterinarian certifies that it is suffering and cannot be cured.

As on Monday, / only one of the/three major reservoirs in the district/had water up to the brim, / while the level in most of/ the tanks has been dropping.
(a) As on Monday,
(b) only one of the
(c) had water up to the brim,
(d) while the level in most of
(e) the tanks has been dropping

Answer & Explanation

Ans. c

Exp. First and last parts of the sentence ‘as on Monday’ and ‘the tanks has been dropping’ shows that it is in present tense but ‘had water up to the brim’ indicates past tense because of use of ‘had’ therefore ‘had water up to the brim’ is incorrect.

A single judge of the/ Kerala High Court had ordered/ the demolition of those parts/ of the apartment complex/ that were constructed/ violating of the CRZ norms.

(a) A single judge of the
(b) Kerala High Court had ordered
(c) the demolition of those parts
(d) of the apartment complex
(e) violating of the CRZ norms

Answer & Explanation

Ans. e

Exp. Replace ‘violating of the CRZ norms’ with either ‘in violation of the CRZ norms’ or ‘violating the CRZ norms’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Direction (6-10): There are two different sentences with a blank space in each question. Choose the word from the given options which fits into both the blanks appropriately adding a proper and logical meaning to the sentences.

She had authorised British forces to conduct precision air-launched cruise missile ____________ on Syria to degrade its chemical weapons capability, saying there was no ______________ to military action.
(a) pound; substitute
(b) strikes; alternative
(c) beat; restrain
(d) hits; refrain
(e) attacks; walkout

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. (b) is the correct answer as it conveys the meaning of the statement correctly.

(a) is incorrect as ‘poundings’ need to be used instead of ‘pound’ to make it correct.

(e) cannot be correct. ‘walkout’ needs to be followed by ‘from’ to make it correct but in the statement the 2^nd blank is followed by ‘to’.

The _______________ carved head of a Buddha protrudes from the ground – it probably fell from its post during an earthquake, our guide ______________.

(a) intricately; speculates
(b) intricate; refers
(c) beautifully; assume
(d) delicately; guess
(e) specially; thinks

Answer & Explanation

Ans. a

Exp. (a) is the correct answer as it predicts the meaning accurately.

(b) cannot be the answer as ‘intricate’ cannot be used here as the statements talk about how precisely the head of Buddha is carved so ‘intricately’ is the correct word for the 1^st blank.

(c) cannot be correct as ‘assume’ is used for plural but the guide is singular therefore ‘assume’ needs to be replaced with ‘assumes’.

(d) cannot be correct as ‘guess’ is used for plural but the guide is singular therefore ‘guess’ needs to be replaced with ‘guesses’.

specially gives incoherent meaning to the sentence therefore (e) cannot be correct.

Farmers usually ______________ await good rains, but not the unseasonal ones like those that ______________ Chittoor district last November.
(a) sensitively; sighed
(b) doubtfully; benefited
(c) keenly; relieved
(d) eagerly; lashed
(e) regularly; charmed

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. (d) is the correct answer as it conveys the meaning of the sentence that farmers eagerly await good rains but not the unseasonal rains because they are harmful to the crops.

(a) cannot be correct as ‘sighed’ contradicts the 2^nd part of the statement. The 2^nd part tells that farmers do not want unseasonal rains therefore the rains must be having some harmful effects to their crops but ‘sighed’ means ‘relief’ hence (a) cannot be the answer.

(b) cannot be the answer because both the words are just opposite to the meaning of the sentence.

The 1^st part of the sentence needs a positive word and 2^nd part needs negative word to explain the correct meaning of the sentence.

(c) cannot be the answer as ‘relieved’ contradicts the 2nd part of the statement. The 2nd part tells that farmers do not want unseasonal rains therefore the rains must be having some harmful effects to their crops but ‘relieved’ means ‘relief’ hence (c) cannot be the answer.

(e) cannot be the answer as ‘regularly’ is not required here, it gives vague meaning to the sentence besides ‘charmed’ is also incorrect as 2nd part needs negative word to explain the correct meaning of the sentence while ‘charmed’ means ‘delight greatly’.

Any macro-economist _____________ say that if 87.5% of the currency is being demonetised, then it better _______________ made sure that a similar amount of currency is printed and ready to be put back in circulation.

(a) should; needs to
(b) forcefully; must
(c) would; be
(d) repeatedly; to
(e) will; so

Answer & Explanation

Ans. c

Exp. (c) is the correct answer and it completes the sentence.

(a) cannot be correct as in ‘needs to’, ‘to’ is being used as an infinitive verb and an infinitive verb is followed by 1^st form of verb therefore ‘made’ after ‘to’ is incorrect; ‘made’ should be replaced with ‘make’.

(b) is incorrect as it gives vague meaning to the sentence and use of ‘must’ just after ‘better’ is wrong.

(d) cannot be the answer because if we put ‘repeatedly’ in the 1^st blank then ‘say’ is wrong. It needs to be replaced with ‘says’ but with ‘would’ ‘say’ is correct.

(e) cannot be the answer as ‘so’ is incorrect in 2^nd blank.

The company will _______________ on artificial intelligence and automation to win digital deals, reskill employees and __________________ more locals in markets such as US, Europe, and Australia.

(a) stuck; recruit
(b) depend; purchase
(c) pivot; fire
(d) count; charter
(e) rely; hire

Answer & Explanation

Ans. e
Exp. (e) is the correct answer as it conveys the meaning of the statement correctly.

(a) cannot be correct as ‘stuck’ means ‘something resembling or likened to a stick, in particular’.

(b) cannot be correct as ‘purchase’ doesn’t fit in the sentence. Men cannot be purchased and it doesn’t specify about anything which needs to be purchased.

(c) ‘fire’ is not correct here as the company wants to expand its business by winning more deals. An expanding company hires people rather than ‘fire’ them.

(d) use of ‘charter’ is incoherent to the sentence therefore it cannot be the answer.
