    It goes without saying that respect must be earned and the present system is working with perfection along with giving due __________ to people's needs and aspirations.

    Solutions

    The sentence is conveying that the system is working in a way to get things done with perfection while keeping in mind the aspirations of the people. The word that should come in the blank must be close to "giving due regard" to people's needs. The word respect will be the best fit. The word "love" may go well with the first blank but will not fit in the second blank. The system cant work by giving due "love" to people's needs.

    Our present _________ towards the environment contrasts quite sharply with our historical reverence for nature.

    Solutions

    The statement talks of a contrast or difference. Since, the word in the blank should be opposite in meaning to 'reverence' (which means to show deep respect), the most suitable word is 'apathy' (which means lack of interest or concern).
    So, the correct answer is option B.

    Between the two fraction allies, with Wang praising North Korea’s (A)/ over a month, is another indication of the warming relations (B) / the meeting, Kim Jong Un’s third with a top Beijing official in just (C)/ it may fear being relegated to the side-lines in developments that (D)/ commitment to denuclearization during the two – day visit (E)

    Solutions

    The correct logical order is CBAE. The odd part is (D) as it out of context with reference to rest of the sentences which revolve around developing relations between North Korea and China.

    CB is a logical pair connected by the phrase 'in just over a month' which means 'only a little time after a month'. (C) Mentions the subject of the passage i.e. Kim Jong’s UN’s third meeting with a top Beijing official followed by (B) mentioning the probable effect (indication of the warming relations) of the two fraction allies, with Wang praising North Korea’s. The apostrophes used in North Korea’s suggests that a noun should follow statement (A) which is E.
    Thus, the correct sentence would be: 

    ‘The meeting, Kim Jong’s Un’s third with a top Beijing official in just over a month, is another indication of the warming relations between the two fraction allies, with Wang praising North Korea’s commitment to denuclearization during the two – day visit.

    For the automobile sector to address issues raised by the industry (A)/ suggestions from all shareholders will be taken to formulate the policy (B)/ the government is working on a new ‘fool proof’ policy (C)/ and Public Enterprises Anant Geete said on Thursday (D)/ particularly related to tax rates, Minister of Heavy Industries (E)

    Solutions

    The correct order is CAED. The odd part is (B). 

    The sentence will start with (C) which mentions a 'foolproof' policy being worked upon by the government and will be followed by (A) which mentions the purpose of the policy. Area of special focus in the policy has been mentioned in (E) which will come after A and finally, the sentence will end with (D) mentioning the person who passed the statement. 

    Part B is the odd one out as it mentions about the suggestions of the shareholders taken to formulate the policy which is not logically connected with the rest of the sentences. 

    Thus, the correct sentence would be: 

    ‘The government is working on a new ‘fool proof’ policy for the automobile sector to address issues raised by the industry, particularly related to tax rates, Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises Anant Geete said on Thursday’.

    if I wear it long enough to get it warmed up, (A)/ I don’t do that very often, just when I really miss him and know his smell will make me feel closer to him (B)/ the expensive trouser was bought from New Jersey (C)/ it’s a plaid Pendleton wool shirt that used to belong to my dad (D)/ I can smell my dad’s sweat (E)

    Solutions

    Let us first find out the odd segment. Most of the segments talk about how the speaker would wear his father’s clothes and be reminded of him. However, C talks about trousers and has no connection with the father. Thus, it is the odd segment. So option A and C get eliminated. 

    D talks about the shirt and introduces the paragraph. Part A follows next as it describes what is done to the shirt. A & E is a mandatory pair as the latter states the consequence of the former. B comes in the end as it justifies the speaker’s act of wearing his father’s shirt.

    His eventual goal: the colonisation of Mars and SpaceX is already developing a gargantuan (A)/ vehicle called the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), which it says will replace all of the firm’s (B)/ few would have predicted it successfully using the world’s most powerful rocket (C)/ existing rockets and whose lifting power is necessary to realise Mr Musk’s Martian dreams (D)/ domination of the rocket – launch market is, for Mr. Musk, only one leg on the journey to (E)

    Solutions

    The correct order is EABD. The odd part is (C). 

    The sentence starts with (E) introducing Musk and his goals in (A) follow by (B) mentioning what SpaceX is already developing, ending with (D) mentioning what it will replace. 

    C is odd one out as the sentence talks about the domination of rocket launch market but C talks about the world’s most powerful rocket which has no connection with the rest of the context. 

    Thus, the correct sentence would be: 

    ‘Domination of the rocket – launch market is, for Mr. Musk, only one leg on the journey to his eventual goal: the colonisation of Mars and SpaceX is already developing a gargantuan vehicle called the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), which it says will replace all of the firm’s existing rockets and whose lifting power is necessary to realise Mr Musk’s Martian dreams’.

    space programmers are into exploring the new universe as (A)/ there will likely be stowaways across the Universe as (B)/ even if they are not on the official to-do list (C)/ of the world’s mission-driven space programmes, (D)/ we begin to explore and settle new worlds (E)

    Solutions

    A is the odd one out here. Clearly, the segment is reflecting on the space programmers exploring, which has no reference in other segment. C is the opening sentence followed by DBE. A is different from the main theme as there’s no mention of exploring a new universe.
