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

(d) rejoinder…involved in

(e) offer…involved with

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

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