1. Answer: (A)
We need an adverb to modify the verb ASSESS. Out of the given options, only CLOSELY (carefully and paying attention to details) will fit here to convey that the committee will attentively watch the market conditions. Thus, A is the right answer.
The other options are contextually incorrect:
Boldly – in a brave and confident way, without showing any fear.
Quietly – without making much noise.
Peacefully – in a way that does not involve violence.
2. Answer: (C)
The word DISMAL means very bad or unpleasant. CHEERFUL (happy and optimistic) will be the antonym of the given word. Thus, C is the right answer.
The other options have different meanings:
Profound – very great or intense.
Gloomy – causing or feeling depression.
Severe – causing very great pain, difficulty, worry, damage, etc.
3. Answer: (C)
DBCEA is the correct sequence of the given jumbles. D begins the passage by introducing us to protein as an essential nutrient required by our body in large quantities and on a regular basis. B contrasts this statement by saying that the requirement of protein varies from person to person due to several factors. C further emphasises on the individualised need for protein, which is difficult to determine due to considerable debate on this topic. EA then explain this debate, where E points out the study that believes the current consumption of protein is excessive whereas, in A concern regarding insufficient consumption of protein is expressed. Thus, C is the right answer.
4. Answer: (A)
The correct spelling of the given wrong word is RECEIVE (obtain; get) . Thus, A is the right answer.
Remuneration – payment; wages. Liaison – a close working relationship between people or organisations. Mischievous – naughty.
5. Answer: (C)
The sentence is in the passive voice. Follow the rules below to convert a past continuous sentence in given in the passive voice to the active voice:
I. The object clause will become the subject clause. Here, the preposition BY will be removed, and its object, MY ELDER SISTER, will change into the subject and begin the sentence.
II. Replace WAS BEING INTERVIEWED with WAS INTERVIEWING, as the active voice construction for the past continuous tense is WAS + VERB + ING.
III. THE ACTRESS will become the object of the verb.
Thus, C is the right answer.
6. Answer: (C)
C is the right answer. USED TO is a modal verb which shows a particular thing that always happened or was true in the past.
In the highlighted phrase, USE TO is incorrect as it is not a modal verb. .
In A, WAS should not be used as USED TO itself denotes a past situation.
In B, preposition IN needs to be replaced with AT. We use preposition AT to indicate a specific location within a larger area, like the BUS STOP is a specific location in Scottish highlands.
7. Answer: (A)
PURPORT and CLAIM are synonyms. PURPORT means to appear to be or do something, especially falsely. CLAIM means to state something without evidence or proof. Thus, A is the right answer.
Support- to give assistance to someone. Justify- to show or prove to be right or reasonable. Disclose- to make secret information known.
8. Answer: (B)
The sentence is in the active voice. Follow the rules below to convert a sentence given in indefinite tense (with modal verb) in the active voice to the passive voice:
I. The object clause will become the subject clause. Here, the object of the verb, HER (objective pronoun) , will change into the subject SHE (nominative pronoun) and begin the sentence.
II. Replace SHOULD HELP with SHOULD BE HELPED, as the passive voice construction for such sentences is MODAL VERB + BE + VERB 3.
III. The preposition BY will be added after HELPED.
IV. Also, verbs like HELP are followed by TO in passive voice.
Thus, B is the right answer.
9. Answer: (C)
SABOTAGE and DESTROY are synonyms. SABOTAGE means to deliberately destroy or damage something. Thus, C is the right answer.
Neglect – to fail to care for someone or something properly. Punish – to cause people who have done something wrong suffer by making them do something they do not want to do. Renew – to make something look like new.
10. Answer: (B)
The correct spelling of the given wrong word is ACCESSIBLE (adjective) which means easy to approach or use. Thus, B is the right answer.
