  • Question 1/10
    2 / -0.5

    Choose the correctly spelt word.

    Solutions

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

    The correct spelling and meaning of the given word are:

    • Monotonous- dull, tedious, and repetitious; lacking in variety and interest.

    Hence, the chosen option is correct.

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    Choose the correctly spelt word.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 1 i.e. dissatisfied.

    Dissatisfied - not content or happy with something.

    The word "dissatisfied" is the correct spelling. It is formed by combining the prefix "dis-" (indicating negation or lack) with the word "satisfied," which means feeling content or fulfilled. When someone is dissatisfied, they are not content or pleased with something.

  • Question 4/10
    2 / -0.5

    Fill in the blank with an appropriate option.

    Neither she nor I __________ the lunch special.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. am getting.

    When a singular and plural subject are connected by or, either/or, or neither/nor, the verb agrees with the subject closer to it. In this case, the verb must agree with the subject pronoun "I." Hence, the most suitable answer is option 2. 

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    Fill in the blank with an appropriate option.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. at.

    Using the preposition ‘at’ to fill the blank, the phrase becomes I am at a disadvantage. This phrase means in an unfavorable position relative to someone or something else. Hence the most suitable answer is ‘At’.

    The meaning of the idiom:

    Taste your own medicine-someone should have the same unpleasant experience that they themselves have given to someone, to show them how bad it is.

    The sentence is about how the plan backfired and the person had to feel the consequence himself; hence, the choice is apt for the sentence.

    Both the statement and option have the same reference so it will be the correct answer.
