The correct answer is "burning your bridges"

Key Points

• The idiom "burning your bridges" is the most appropriate replacement for the highlighted text. It means to do something that makes it impossible to return to an earlier state, situation, or relationship.
• Using idioms correctly brings more nuance to communication and can provide more impact and insight. The idiom "burning your bridges" precisely conveys the irreversible effect of insulting the boss as mentioned in the sentence.
• The other idiom options do not accurately reflect the given context. "Run around in circles" means to keep doing something without getting any significant result; "Blow hot and cold" means to change one's mind frequently; "sell like hot cakes" means to sell quickly or in large quantities. None of these idioms can depict the consequence of the action that the sentence tries to inform.
• Hence, replacing the highlighted text with the idiom "burning your bridges" ensures the sentence keeps its intended meaning and is more effective in delivering it.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The correct answer is: 'Immigrant'.

Key Points

• The correct one word substitute of the given sentence is: 'Immigrant'.(आप्रवासी)
• The word 'Immigrant' is a Noun here meaning a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.
  • Example: He's a recent immigrant to the US from Germany.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 'Option 3'.

Additional Information

• 'Emigrant' is a Noun meaning a person who leaves their own country in order to settle permanently in another.(उत्प्रवासी)

The correct answer is 'Option 1.'

Key Points

• The error in the original sentence is subject-verb agreement.
• "List" is a singular noun, so the verb should also be singular.
• The correct verb form to match with the singular subject "list" is "is kept."
• The preposition "on" should be used to indicate the location of the list.
• Hence, the corrected segment should be "wedding guests is kept there, on."

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1.'

Correct sentence: The list of wedding guests is kept there, on the table.

Additional Information

• Option 2) wedding guests are kept there on: This option retains the subject-verb agreement error by using the plural verb "are kept."
• Option 3) wedding guests kept there on: This option lacks a verb and is grammatically incorrect.
• Option 4) wedding guests is kept there in: This option corrects the subject-verb agreement error but uses the incorrect preposition "in" instead of "on" to indicate the location.

The correct answer is "Growing rapidly".

Key Points

• The idiom "by leaps and bounds" means to grow, improve, or progress very quickly or rapidly.
• It is often used to describe rapid progress, development, or growth in a positive context.
• Therefore, the phrase that best expresses the meaning of "by leaps and bounds" is- "Growing rapidly."

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Additional Information

• Option 1) "Playing wisely" does not relate to the concept of rapid growth or improvement.
• Option 2) "Driving fast" might involve rapid movement, but it does not convey the broader idea of growth or progress.
• Option 4) "Moving aimlessly" suggests a lack of direction, which contrasts with the positive and purposeful growth implied by "by leaps and bounds."

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. must.

Key Points

• The sentence expresses a strong determination or necessity regarding passing, which is best conveyed by the modal verb "must."
• "Must" indicates obligation or a strong need to do something, fitting the context of needing to pass this time.
• Therefore, the correct answer is- must.

Additional Information

• "Might" suggests possibility but does not convey the sense of necessity implied in the statement.
• "Could" expresses ability in the past or a conditional possibility, which is not as strong as the necessity implied here.
• "Can" indicates ability but lacks the element of duty or compulsion that "must" provides in this context.

The correct answer is Liveing.

Key Points

• The correct spelling of the word 'liveing' is 'living'.
• The word 'living' means an income sufficient to live on or the means of earning it.
  • Example: She was struggling to make a living as a dancer.
• Therefore, the incorrectly spelt word is 'Liveing.

Additional Information

• Let's see meaning of other words given in the option-

The correct answer is part 2 that is 'be pass his exams'.

Key Points

• The part that contains the error is: be pass his exams.
• The correct form should be: pass his exams.
• Explanation: The verb "be" is unnecessary in this context. The sentence should read: "He could pass his exams if he studied harder."
• The correct structure for the sentence is "could + verb," where "pass" is the verb.
• Therefore, the error is in part (2).

The correct answer is: 'Distinctive'.

Key Points

• The given word is: 'Unique'.(अद्वितीय)
• The word 'Unique' means being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else.

The correct answer is 'b'.

Key Points

• The error is in part (b) of the sentence.
• The verb "defers" should be replaced with "differs" to convey the intended meaning of being different from or not the same as something else.
• The correct sentence would be: "His written statement differs in several important respects from his oral statement."
• The correct response is option 2) b.

The correct answer is "Option 1" i.e. 'sounds'.

Key Points

• This is based on an English idiom, "An empty vessel makes (or sounds) the most noise", where 'vessel' is metaphorically used to refer to a person.
• Here, 'sounds' (अधिक ध्वनि करता है) corresponds with the singular subject 'An empty vessel'.

Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 1 "sounds".

Additional Information

• 'Have sound', 'sound', and 'were sound' are incorrect. The verb should be in the simple present third person ('sounds') to correspond with the singular subject.
