  • Question 1/10
    2 / -0.5

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

    The manager told her that / she should be a bit more / careful while executed the / orders of the company.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 4 i.e. careful while executed the.

    The segment that contains a grammatical error is "careful while executed the" as it should be "while executing the".

    The verb "executing" needs to be in the present participle form to match the auxiliary verb "should be" which is in the present tense.

    Thus, the correct sentence would be:

    The manager told her that she should be a bit more careful while executing the orders of the company.

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    Three segments of the following sentence have been underlined and given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the option that contains the error. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.

    Although there is no proven data, the Centre for Policy Research estimate that India has the largest stock of iron ore in the world.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Centre for Policy Research estimate.

    The subject "the Centre for Policy Research" is singular because it refers to a single entity (an organization).

    Therefore, according to subject-verb agreement, the verb must also be singular in the present tense.

    The correct singular form is "estimates", not "estimate". 

    The correct sentence is- "Although there is no proven data, the Centre for Policy Research estimates that India has the largest stock of iron ore in the world."

  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bracketed segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'no substitution required'.

    He suggested (there was collusions through objectors, due to similaritites) in some letters sent to the council.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 2 i.e. there was collusion between objectors, due to similarities.

    The phrase there was collusions through objectors, due to similaritites is incorrect.

    It will be collusion not collusions because collusion doesn't have a plural form.

    Also, "between" is the correct preposition to be used with collusion to reflect cooperation.

  • Question 4/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the most appropriate option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

    The chef prepares the food in the kitchen.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 4. i.e. The food is prepared by the chef in the kitchen.

    In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject, the verb is changed to its passive form, and the original subject is mentioned as the agent is introduced by the preposition "by."

    The prepositional phrase remains in the same position.

    Active Voice StructureSubject + Verb + Object + Prepositional Phrase

    Passive Voice StructureObject (from the active sentence) + Verb (in passive form) + Agent  ('by') + Prepositional Phrase

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.

    He asked me when I had booked the flight tickets.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 1 i.e. He said to me, “When did you book the flight tickets?”

    In direct speech, we need to add commas and inverted commas.

    Asked is changed to said to.

    Second-person pronouns are changed according to the object of the reporting verb, so, I is changed to you.

    Had booked is changed to did book. Had booked is in the past perfect tense. However, in direct speech, the verb tense reverts to the simple past (did book) to reflect the original question being asked.

    A direct question is formed, so we invert the subject you and the auxiliary verb did in the question.

    So, the final sentence is: He said to me, “When did you book the flight tickets?”

  • Question 6/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the most appropriate synonym of the highlighted word.

    This maxim has been used by many in the past.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. proverb.

    Maxim means a short, pithy statement expressing a general truth or rule of conduct.

    Proverb means a short, well-known pithy saying, stating a general truth or piece of advice.

    "Adverb" and "Maximum" are self-explanatory.

    Phoneme is any of the perceptually distinct units of sound in a specified language that distinguish one word from another.

  • Question 7/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

    Nominal

    Solutions

    Correct Answer: Option – Fractional

    Given Word: Nominal

    Meaning: Very small; existing in name only; minimal

    Example: The company charges a nominal fee for membership.

    Synonym: Fractional

    Meaning: Very small in amount or degree; minimal

    Example: The membership fee was fractional compared to the overall cost of the program.

    Meaning of the other words:

    Limited → restricted, not necessarily minimal

    Actual → real or existing, opposite of nominal

    Supposed → assumed or believed, not synonymous

    Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

  • Question 8/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word to fill in the blank.

    I wanted to ask if you have an/a _____ bank account. Mine has been dormant for a year.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 4 i.e. active.

    "Dormant" means not active for some time.

    The antonym of "dormant" is "active."

    "Active" means involved in activity; lively.

    The sentence implies that the speaker's bank account has not been used for a year.

  • Question 9/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

    Despicable

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Admirable.

    "Despicable" means deserving hatred and contempt.

    The antonym of despicable is admirable.

    "Admirable" means deserving respect and approval.

    The other option means:

    • Rational means based on reason or logic.
    • Deplorable means deserving strong condemnation or shock.
    • Offensive means causing someone to feel deeply hurt, upset, or angry.
  • Question 10/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.

    This idiom refers to a brief period of sleep or nap, often during the day.
