MOCK TEST (Questions Set 21) – Useful For WBCS, CGL/CHSL/MTS and WBP/KP Constable, etc

Sol. Use ‘should have / might have’ in the given space. ‘Could have’, ‘would have’, and ‘should have’ are sometimes called “modals of lost opportunities.” They work like a grammatical time machine. The simple past just tells what happened. Past modals tell what could have, would have, and should have happened.  

Sol. Use ‘did they’ in the given space. The sentence contains inversion. So ‘did they’ should be used here. We can’t use ‘they did’ here, we have to use ‘they decided’ instead of ‘they did’.

Sol. Use ‘thinking / saying’ in the given space. After ‘mind’ and ‘like’, we use the gerund form (verb + ing) of the verb.

Sol. Use ‘to making’ in the given space. ‘To oppose to (someone, something or doing something)’ is the correct choice.

Sol. Use ‘to’ - in place of - ‘than’. The verb ‘prefer’ takes the preposition ‘to’ with it.

Sol. Use ‘began’ - in place of - ‘begun’. The sentence is framed in the past tense. We need to use the second form of the verb ‘began’, not the third form ‘begun’.

Sol. Use ‘distant’ - in place of - ‘distantly’. We need an adjective here before the noun ‘afternoon’. The word ‘distant’ is an adjective and ‘distantly’ is an adverb.

Sol. Evacuate means - to ask someone to vacate their house in an emergency situation. The sentence is passive. People were urged (requested) by the government to vacate their homes.

Revoke - to cancel (law, agreement, etc.)

Prevaricate - to avoid telling the truth

Sol. Use ‘are spoken’ - in place of - ‘were spoken’.  Because this is a general statement about a fact.

Sol. Use ‘into’ - in place of - ‘to’. The correct usage is: to translate (something) into (something else).

Ex- How can you translate this into a practical policy?
