1. Answer: (C)
The correct sequence of the sentences will be:
B. Desire, as opposed to need, is an intellectual appetite for things that you perceive to be good, but that you have no physical, instinctual basis for wanting – and that’s true whether those things are actually good or not.A. Your intellectual appetites might include knowing the answer to a mathematics problem; the satisfaction of receiving a text from someone you have a crush on; or getting a coveted job offer.
C. These things won’t necessarily cause physical pleasure. They might spill over into physical enjoyment, but they are not dependent on it.
D. Rather, the pleasure is primarily intellectual.Identifying the first sentence in the paragraph is a basic step to solve the para jumble. Among the given sentences, B can be easily identified as the introductory sentence as it tells us that desire, in contrast to need, is an intellectual hunger for things that you think are good but for which you have no bodily, innate desire – and this is true whether or not those things are good.
A is in continuation of B as it tells us more about ‘intellectual appetite’ like desire (mentioned in A). Having the answers to a math problem, the joy of receiving a text from someone you like or obtaining a coveted job offer are all examples of intellectual appetites.
Thereafter, C carries forward the paragraph as it tells us about the effects of these ‘intellectual appetites. They aren’t always going to make you feel good physically. They may overflow into bodily pleasure, but they are not reliant on it.
D is the concluding sentence as it tells us that these appetites give us mental pleasure.
Therefore, the correct answer is: (c) BACD.
2. Answer: (D)
We need the past participle form of a verb to fit in the present perfect tense construction HAS + VERB. Also for the second part of the sentence, we need the same form of a verb to fit in the passive voice construction WAS + VERB. The sentence in A is grammatically correct. Thus, D is the right answer.
B is incorrect, as IS + VERB (past participle) is a passive voice construction, which is inapt here.
C is incorrect, as HAD will take the past participle form verb BOUGHT in place of base form verb BUY.
D is incorrect, as BUYING should be followed by the helping verbs like is, am, are, was, were.
3. Answer: (D)
The correct preposition should be AT instead of ON. Thus, D contains the error.
4. Answer: (D)
The highlight part is incorrect, as we need the present participle form of a verb to fit in the present continuous tense construction IS + VERB. The highlighted phrase is incorrect as it is in passive voice construction. Thus, D is the right answer.
The other options are grammatically incorrect:
REMOVED should be followed by the helping verb HAS or HAVE.
REMOVES is in the simple present tense, which is not correct here.
REMOVE should be preceded by a plural subject.
5. Answer: (D)
Among the given options, ‘later’ (at a time in the future or after the time you have mentioned) is the correct choice as it is an adverb of time. Others don’t fit in this context.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
The correct sentence is: I will finish my work later today.
Note:
Adverb of Time: It tells us when an action is done or occurs.
Examples: after, early, now, soon, then.
6. Answer: (A)
The use of ‘adhere’ is incorrect, it should be followed by ‘to’. ‘Adhere to’ means to continue to support an idea, etc.; to follow a rule.
Hence, option (a) is correct.
7. Answer: (C)
Vivid: Bright, distinct, and colourful.
Dull: Lacking interest or excitement; boring.
Benign: Gentle, mild, or favourable.
Vibrant: (of colour) bright and striking.
Insipid: Lacking flavour or interest; dull.
Among the given options, the word ‘vibrant’ is similar in meaning to the word ‘vivid’. So, the two words can be used as synonyms of each other.
Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
8. Answer: (D)
| IDIOM | MEAINING |
| Beside yourself with joy | To be extremely happy |
| To give the cold shoulder | To ignore |
| Bite the bullet | Decide to do something unpleasant that one has been avoiding |
| Hit the sack | Go to sleep |
So, the correct idiom is ‘hit the sack’.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
9. Answer: (B)
The correct spelling of the underlined word and its meaning is given below:
Enticing: attractive and tempting, drawing interest or desire.
Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
10. Answer: (D)
The word PECULIAR means unusual and strange, sometimes in an unpleasant way. CONVENTIONAL (things that are normal or ordinary) will be the antonym of the given word. Thus, D is the right answer.
The other options have different meanings:
Wise – having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgement.
Evident – easily seen or understood; obvious.
Rigid – unable to bend or be forced out of shape; not flexible.
