English-Solutions

 

S1. Ans. (c)

Sol. Read the expression given in the sentence carefully; the expression ends with “may rise by”. Thus, the use of the preposition “by” at the end makes it grammatically incorrect as the two prepositions cannot be used simultaneously [“by” and “to”]. Among the given alternatives, the (I) and (III) expressions can be used as a replacement to the highlighted expression. It is to be noted that the two expressions give the similar meaning to the sentence without altering its contextual and grammatical structure. Hence option (c) is the correct choice. 

 

S2. Ans. (a)

Sol. Read the complete sentence carefully; the subject i.e., “The Economic Survey” is in singular and thus the use of the plural verb “have” is incorrect. Moreover, it is to be noted that the sentence mentions specifically that the survey was tabled on January 29 and thus the use of the present form of verb will make the sentence grammatically incorrect. Among the given alternatives, only the first expression provides the exact replacement to the highlighted expression. It does follow the correct structure to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Hence option (a) is the correct choice. 

 

S3. Ans. (c)

Sol. Read the sentence carefully; the subject is singular [India] and thus we cannot use the plural determiner for the same [they].  Among the given options, both the first and the second expressions can replace the highlighted phrase to form a meaningful sentence respectively. The sentences so formed will be both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (c) is the correct choice. 

 

S4. Ans. (e)

Sol. The highlighted expression used in the sentence is grammatically correct and at the same time gives a meaningful sense to the sentence. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.

S5. Ans. (b)

Sol. There is a prepositional error in the highlighted expression. The most correct expression that can replace the existing one is option (b) i.e., “in the ever-evolving world of fashion”. This makes the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.  

 

S6. Ans. (b)

Sol. (b) is the correct answer as it conveys the meaning of the statement correctly.

(a) is incorrect as ‘poundings’ need to be used instead of ‘pound’ to make it correct.

(e) cannot be correct. ‘walkout’ needs to be followed by ‘from’ to make it correct but in the statement the 2nd blank is followed by ‘to’.

 

S7. Ans. (a)

Sol. (a) is the correct answer as it predicts the meaning accurately.

(b) cannot be the answer as ‘intricate’ cannot be used here as the statements talk about how precisely the head of Buddha is carved so ‘intricately’ is the correct word for the 1st blank.

(c) cannot be correct as ‘assume’ is used for plural but the guide is singular therefore ‘assume’ needs to be replaced with ‘assumes’.

(d) cannot be correct as ‘guess’ is used for plural but the guide is singular therefore ‘guess’ needs to be replaced with ‘guesses’.

specially gives incoherent meaning to the sentence therefore (e) cannot be correct.

S8. Ans. (d)

Sol. (d) is the correct answer as it conveys the meaning of the sentence that farmers eagerly await good rains but not the unseasonal rains because they are harmful to the crops.

(a) cannot be correct as ‘sighed’ contradicts the 2nd part of the statement. The 2nd part tells that farmers do not want unseasonal rains therefore the rains must be having some harmful effects to their crops but ‘sighed’ means ‘relief’ hence (a) cannot be the answer.

(b) cannot be the answer because both the words are just opposite to the meaning of the sentence.

The 1st part of the sentence needs a positive word and 2nd part needs negative word to explain the correct meaning of the sentence.

(c) cannot be the answer as ‘relieved’ contradicts the 2nd part of the statement. The 2nd part tells that farmers do not want unseasonal rains therefore the rains must be having some harmful effects to their crops but ‘relieved’ means ‘relief’ hence (c) cannot be the answer.

(e) cannot be the answer as ‘regularly’ is not required here, it gives vague meaning to the sentence besides ‘charmed’ is also incorrect as 2nd part needs negative word to explain the correct meaning of the sentence while ‘charmed’ means ‘delight greatly’.

 

S9. Ans. (c)

Sol. (c) is the correct answer and it completes the sentence.

(a) cannot be correct as in ‘needs to’, ‘to’ is being used as an infinitive verb and an infinitive verb is followed by 1st form of verb therefore ‘made’ after ‘to’ is incorrect; ‘made’ should be replaced with ‘make’.

(b) is incorrect as it gives vague meaning to the sentence and use of ‘must’ just after ‘better’ is wrong.

(d) cannot be the answer because if we put ‘repeatedly’ in the 1st blank then ‘say’ is wrong. It needs to be replaced with ‘says’ but with ‘would’ ‘say’ is correct.

(e) cannot be the answer as ‘so’ is incorrect in 2nd blank.

S10. Ans. (e)

Sol. (e) is the correct answer as it conveys the meaning of the statement correctly.

(a) cannot be correct as ‘stuck’ means ‘something resembling or likened to a stick, in particular’. 

(b) cannot be correct as ‘purchase’ doesn’t fit in the sentence. Men cannot be purchased and it doesn’t specify about anything which needs to be purchased.

(c) ‘fire’ is not correct here as the company wants to expand its business by winning more deals. An expanding company hires people rather than ‘fire’ them.

(d) use of ‘charter’ is incoherent to the sentence therefore it cannot be the answer.

 

S11. Ans. (d)

Sol. Sordid means involving immoral or dishonourable actions and motives; arousing moral distaste and contempt. Hence it has the same meaning as corrupted.

Expedite means make (an action or process) happen sooner or be accomplished more quickly.

Abet means encourage or assist.

 

S12. Ans. (d)

Sol. Vilified means speak or write about in an abusively disparaging manner. Hence it has the same meaning as disparage

Accretion means growth or increase by the gradual accumulation of additional layers or matter.

Acclaim means praise enthusiastically and publicly.

Divulge means make known.

 

S13. Ans. (b)

Sol. Forbid means refuse to allow. Hence it has the opposite meaning to sanction.

Fascinate means attract the strong attention and interest of (someone).

S15. Ans. (e)

Sol. Hoover means consume something quickly and eagerly. Hence it has the opposite meaning to abstain.
