(A) And, while urban India usually has little patience for agrarian problems, many Mumbaikars not only backed the stir but also pitched in to help with food, water, medical aid, and even footwear.

(B) The farmers were persuaded to complete the final leg of the march early on Monday to avoid inconveniencing commuters, and halt peacefully 2 km from the Assembly so that government emissaries could negotiate with their representatives.

(D) The gruelling six-day march of nearly 200 km from Nashik to Mumbai by thousands of farmers, with the aim to gherao the Maharashtra Assembly and sensitise the government to their problems, was remarkable.

(E) While Opposition parties as well as BJP ally Shiv Sena backed the farmers and tribals in an attempt to isolate Devendra Fadnavis’s administration, he managed to emerge unflustered and deal with the issue effectively.

(b) The BJP-led government at the Centre, which has been promising doubling of farm incomes and higher prices, and is to seek re-election a year from now, would do well to take note too.

(d) By evening, ‘deeply humbled’ by the farmers’ reasonable approach, Mr. Fadnavis said he respected them and had no problem in accepting most of their demands, leading the farmers to end the stir and board special trains to go back home.

(e) A six-month deadline has been set for changes that will take some doing, with a written assurance that some of the demands will be pushed through immediately.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. The sequence of the paragraph after rearrangement is DCAEB. The paragraph is describing about the protest done by farmers with the aim to gherao the Maharashtra Assembly. The last sentence of the paragraph states about the progress of six days protest march. Therefore, the next statement that should follow sentence (B) should be option (d) i.e., “By evening, ‘deeply humbled’ by the farmers’ reasonable approach, Mr. Fadnavis said he respected them and had no problem in accepting most of their demands, leading the farmers to end the stir and board special trains to go back home.” As this statement further illustrates the proceedings of the protest. It perfectly connects with the previous statement. All the other options are either grammatically incorrect or do not connect contextually with the previous statement. Thus, option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

 

Directions (6-10): Each question below has two blanks. There are five pairs of words below the sentence. Each pair is lettered. Choose the pair of words which can be filled up in the blanks in the sentence in the same order so as to complete the sentences meaningfully.

 

  1. Great saints believe that realisation of God will liberate man from ______ bondage and this state of release confers the privilege of serving the Lord in his ______ abode.

 

(a)materialistic, permanent

(b)earthly, transcendental

(c)primitive, unique

(d)spiritual, ethereal

(e)premiere, conscious

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp.

Option(b) is correct

Man has to be liberated from ‘earthly’ or ‘materialistic’ bondage and he should be united with ‘spiritual’ bondage, and hence ‘spiritual’ in option d would distort the sentence.

When man’s life is materialistic , God’s abode should be the opposite of ‘materialistic’. But ‘permanent’ does not suggest that. Whereas ‘earthly’ and ‘transcendental’ are antonyms and are the most appropriate word in the given context.

 

  1. Biological clocks are of such ____ adaptive value to living organisms, that we would expect most organisms to ____ them.

 

(a)meager – evolve

(b)important- arise

(c)significant – eschew

(d)obvious – possess

(e) prominent, adhere

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp.

Option(d) is correct

The sentence structure suggests that if biological clocks are a great advantage, then most organisms would possess them. [Or, if they are not an advantage, then organisms will not have them.]

Therefore, the obvious value, leads us to expect that organisms possess them.

(meager = small, slight; eschew = shun, avoid; ambivalent = ambiguous)

  1. Before his marriage the Duke had led an austere existence and now regarded the affectionate, somewhat ____ behavior of his young wife as simply ____

 

(a)restrained – despicable

(b)childish – elevating

(c)playful – sublime

(d)frivolous – puerile

(e)imprudent – chldish

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp.

Option(d) is correct

The behavior of the wife is described as ‘affectionate’ and so we require a word of similar weight for the first blank.

Hence we eliminate ‘restrained’ and ‘unpleasant’. Also the Duke is described as ‘austere’ and is unlikely to approve of affectionate behavior. And so from the remaining choices we choose the negative word puerile.

(frivolous = non-serious; sublime = awe-inspiring; puerile = childish)

 

  1. Today Wegener’s theory is ____ ; however, he died an outsider treated with ____ by the scientific establishment.

(a)unsupported – approval

(b)dismissed – contempt

(c)accepted – approbation

(d)unchallenged – disdain

(e) Unprecedented- derision

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp.

Option(d) is correct

‘however’ indicates a contradictory statement, and therefore we need opposite ideas in the two halves of the sentence.

So, Wegener’s theory is unchallenged(everyone accepts it); however he was treated with disdain (contempt).

Also the word ‘outsider’ in the sentence indicates that the second blank will have to be a negative word.

(approbation = approval; reverence = respect)

 

  1. Pipes are not a safer _____________ to cigarettes because, though pipe smokers do not inhale, they are still _____________ higher rates of lung and mouth cancers than nonsmokers.

(a) preference…free from

(b) answer…responsible for

(c) alternative…subject to

(e) offer…involved with

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp.   ‘alternative…subject to’ is the correct use
