  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an INCORRECT preposition.

    I am writing to invite you / to give a presentation / for our Jobs and Careers Conference / for engineering graduates.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. for our Jobs and Careers Conference.

    The preposition "for" in "for our Jobs and Careers Conference" is incorrect because it indicates purpose or benefit, whereas the sentence refers to the location or occasion of the event.

    The correct preposition is "at," as it specifies the event where the presentation will take place.

    Therefore, the correct phrase is "at our Jobs and Careers Conference," ensuring the sentence properly conveys the intended meaning.

  • Question 4/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.

    Sunny grew ______ to become a famous man and one of our greatest orators.

    Solutions

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

    We use ‘up’ as a preposition to talk about a higher position or movement to a higher position.

    Up’ is used when referring to or at a higher level.

    For example:

    • He turned the volume up.
    • He was up a ladder painting. 

    Therefore, ‘up’ is the appropriate word here i.e. “Sunny grew up to become a famous man and one of our greatest orators.

  • Question 6/10
    2 / -0.5

    Sentences of a paragraph are given in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

    A. Instead, they are constrictors, meaning they squeeze their prey to death before swallowing it whole.

    B. Agile on water but awkward on land, the green anaconda is one of the largest snakes in the world.

    C. Most people assume that anacondas are very poisonous, but they are actually nonvenomous.

    D. At 29 feet long and 550 pounds, these snakes are huge!

    Solutions

    The correct answer is BDCA i.e. option 2.

    The first sentence is independent and introduces the topic.

    The second sentence provides more information about the topic being discussed, followed by the third sentence, and then the final sentence.

    The sentence B gives a description of the green anaconda, the next sentence D continues to provide information about the snake, followed by C and then A.

    Hence, the correct order would be BDCA.

    P. science and technology

    Q. sought to base its

    R. the founders of independent India

    The easiest way of solving this section is to find a pair.

    The first pair will be " India sought" because SUBJECT + VERB.

    The sentence will start with "The founders of " because it the theme of the statement.

    The second pair will be "on science " means SP.

    The final arrangement will be RQSP.

    The founders of independent India sought to base its development on science and technology.

  • Question 10/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the word which means the same as the group of words underlined in the given sentence.

    The pandemic deeply affected small business owners, as they have no means of livelihood left.

    Solutions

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

    1. Pauper: This option is synonymous with "no means of livelihood" because a pauper is someone who is extremely poor and lacks the resources or income to support themselves.
    2. Worker: This option is not synonymous with "no means of livelihood" because a worker typically has a job or employment that provides them with a means of livelihood. Therefore, it does not convey the same meaning as the given phrase.

    3. Unemployed: While unemployment implies a lack of current employment, it doesn't necessarily mean that there are no means of livelihood left. Unemployed individuals may still have other sources of income or resources.

    4. Mason: This option refers to a specific occupation (a worker who builds with stone or brick), which doesn't convey the broader meaning of "no means of livelihood" as in the given sentence.

    Hence, "pauper" is the correct choice while the other options do not entirely capture the same meaning.
