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, four options are given. Find the word which fits the blank most appropriately. If none of the four options fits the blank mark ‘None of these’ as your answer

The Arctic is on fire, hot on the heels of the latest ______________ (1) ______________ European heat wave. As the impact of the climate crisis mounts, more and more people are asking: how can we control this beast we have created? The scientific answer is fairly straightforward

reduce the amount of greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere to zero. The sooner that’s done, the lower the stabilised temperature and the fewer ______________ (2) ______________ climate impacts we must face.

The world signed up to this in the Paris agreement, agreeing to “pursue ___________ (3) ____________” to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, while committing to keep the rise “well below” 2C. To have just a 50% chance of meeting the 1.5C means halving global emissions over the next decade and hitting “net zero” emissions by about 2050. That means every sector of every country in the world needs to be, on ______________ (4) ______________, zero emissions. That’s electricity, transport, industry, farming, the lot.

For many areas of life, near-zero emissions is an attainable, if extremely ambitious, goal. We could refit our homes and use electric-powered transport from low-carbon energy sources. Energy from the sun, wind and waves could power societies worldwide. But there are some areas where zero emissions by 2050 is impossible. There will, for example, always be some emissions from the farming needed to feed more than 10 billion people this century, and there is no sign of ______________ (5) ______________ long-haul on an electric plane any time soon.

 

  1. (a) pleasant

(b) balmy

(c) scorching

(d) hurtful

(e) harm

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. The passage talks about how the Arctic region was recently grappling with a heatwave that had taken over the entire region. It then goes on to talk about what needs to be done to make things better. It enlists a fairly simple idea of trying to bring down the level of greenhouse emissions.

The second paragraph then talks how the countries had all signed a pact to make efforts to limit global warming and how that translates to maintaining zero emissions by every sector in every country of the world. The final passage talks whether such a goal would be attainable in all areas or not. The first blank is immediately followed by ‘European heatwave’ which tells us that the blank must be an adjective and definitely not a positive one like balmy or peasant. Hurtful means causing distress to someone’s feelings. Between harm and scorching, the latter better describes a heatwave.

 

  1. (a) productive

(b) salubrious

(c) remedial

(d) salutary

(e) devastating

Answer & Explanation
Ans. e

Exp. All salubrious, salutary, productive and remedial mean ‘producing a beneficial effect’. The sentence is talking about bringing down greenhouse gas levels, the lower will be the stabilised temperature and lesser the devastating or disastrous consequences we’ll have to face.

 

  1. (a) attempt

(b) endeavour

(c) seek

(d) efforts

(e) strive

(e) strive

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. Both seek and strive are verbs and since pursue itself is a verb, they aren’t the correct answers. Since the sentence talks about multiple goals that need to be achieved, both endeavour and attempt are also not correct options. ‘To pursue efforts’ means to seek or strive to attain (some object, goal etc.) making ‘efforts’ the correct option.

 

  1. (a) average

(b) estimate

(c) standard

(d) approximation

(e) rate

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. The sentence talks about halving the emissions for which every sector in every country needs to be producing about zero emissions. Because of the presence of ‘on’, none of the words approximation, standard, estimate or rate is a suitable option for the blank. Only ‘average’ provides both grammatical accuracy and meaning to the sentence.       

 

  1. (a) airborne

(b) floating

(c) flying

(d) windborne

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. In the last sentence it is given: long-haul on an electric plane any time soon. Long-haul means for longer time or distance and even if you ignore the phrase you realize that the sentence is trying to convey that there doesn’t seem to be any recent chances of flying or going airborne on an electric airplane anytime soon. But because the blank is not preceded by the words ‘being’ or ‘going’, neither airborne nor windborne are suitable options. Flying is both grammatically fitting and also provides the required meaning.

 

Directions (6-10): Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (e). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any)

 

  1. This is turned out to be (a)/ one of our most successful projects (b)/ and we have made quite (c)/ a large profit from it. (d)/ No error (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(c) C

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. Use ‘has’ in place of ‘is’ because the effect of a past action is there on the present.

e.g. She has to do it when she comes back.

 

  1. A non-banking financial company is a (a)/ financial institution similarly to a bank (b)/ but it cannot issue (c)/cheque books to customers. (d)/ No error (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(c) C

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. ‘Similarly’ should be replaced by the word ‘similar’ to make the syntax correct.

e.g. A bank is not similar to a post office in the operation.

 

  1. The scheme which will be launched (a)/ during the next 2 years (b)/ require an additional investment (c)/ of one hundred crores. (d)/ No error (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(c) C

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. The subject of the sentence is ‘scheme’ which is a singular noun and therefore verb should agree with singular number. Hence, ‘requires’ should be used.

e.g. The company requires skilled manpower.

 

  1. Road developers unable (a)/ to complete their projects (b)/ on time will not be (c)/ awarded new ones. (d)/ No error (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(c) C

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation
Ans. e

Exp. No error.

 

  1. The data shows that (a)/ the unemployment rate has (b)/ raised to 6.1% (c)/ the highest ever in 5 years. (d)/ No error (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(c) C

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. Expression should read out as ‘raised by ………’ to make the syntax correct.

e.g. The literacy rate has increased by 23 % in the last 5 years.
