Directions (1-5): In the following passage there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. These numbers are printed below the passage and against each, five options are given. Four of the five words fit into the blank coherently. Find out the word which does not fit into the blank appropriately.
If you can control your mind, your speech will be _____(1)_____. To avoid ____(2)______ speech first learn to control your mind. The spiritual path ______(3)_____ a disciplined mind. So, you have to learn to master the mind. When you are able to do that you gain greater mastery over your speech. These two things happen simultaneously — by controlling your speech, the mind comes under check, and by ____(4)____ in the mind, you avoid heedless speech. All spiritual people share this ____(5)____. When people discuss truth and Paramatman, the mind is controlled.
Here, the controlled mind has been related to the controlled speech. Hence the blank must be filled by the word which has the similar meaning as ‘controlled’.
Going through the options, we can conclude that all the words except ‘subvert’ are making the sentence correct and meaningful as ‘subvert’ means undermine the power and authority of (an established system or institution), and thus fail to make the paragraph coherent.
Immaculate, which means free from flaws or mistakes (Perfect) is the appropriate word to be filled in the blank. The other words are also similar in meaning to immaculate which are going in agreement with the sentence. Hence, option (a) i.e., ‘subvert’ should be the right choice to be made.
Exquisite means selective, wonderful or excellent.
Impeccable means in accordance with the highest standards; faultless.
The theme of the paragraph is controlling speech through controlling mind. The blank must be filled by an adjective that will go opposite in meaning to ‘control’. Moreover, the verb ‘to avoid’ reflects that a negative word should be filled in the blank. The word ‘incited’ which means encourage or stir up, is completely against the theme and is the correct choice to get eliminated.
On the other hand, unbridled which means uncontrolled or unconstrained reflects the appropriate meaning that makes the paragraph comprehensive. All the other options are also conveying the similar context to the paragraph.
Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
Perturbed means anxious or unsettled.
Agitated means feeling or appearing troubled or nervous.
The sentence must be completed with the verb that tells the relationship between spiritual path and disciplined mind.
‘Demands’ which means requires is the correct word for the blank. Other options except ‘expunges’ are also conveying a similar meaning to the sentence. Expunge, which means obliterate or remove completely does not make any sense to the sentence fails to comply with the theme of the paragraph.
Hence option (a) is the correct choice.
Necessitates means make (something) necessary as a result or consequence.
Entails means involve (something) as a necessary or inevitable part or consequence.
Exp. ‘repealing’ is the wrong word to be filled in the blank.
Here the simultaneous relation has been provided in the sentence that is controlling mind through controlling speech and controlling speech through controlling mind.
Hence the word that fills the blank must be a synonym of ‘controlled’. All the other words except ‘repealing’ are appropriate for delivering the meaning to the sentence as repealing means revoking or annulling which is not appropriate for the sentence.
Exp. All the words except ‘vitiate’ can be filled in the blank making the sentence correct and meaningful.
Here the blank must be filled by the noun. The words quality, trait, aspect and characteristic are all nouns and can be filled in the blank interchangeably whereas ‘vitiate’ is a verb which means spoil or impair the quality or efficiency of. Hence ‘vitiate’ is the correct word to be eliminated.
Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
Directions (6-10): Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is (e). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)

(a) a
(b) b

(Note: A Gerund is a verb form which functions as a noun and it ends in ‘ing’)
