The last 10 km from the highway to the village, marked by a tough and hilly terrain, has been in the making for two decades now. “AtangAne, which has grown into a small (C) tree today was once a fragile sapling, brought here from Myanmar.

Solutions

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. abetment [noun] means ‘the quality of encouraging or assisting (someone) to do something wrong, in particular to commit a crime.’
The given passage seems to talk about Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi giving her opinion on a proposal of no-war pact with Pakistan.
The word ‘abetment’ clearly doesn’t fit with the context of the passage. The correct word should have been ‘offer’.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
…which president Ayub of Pakistan had made in his offer of no-war pact with India…

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. The context of the sentence where the word ‘confrontations’ is present seems to suggest that Mrs. Gandhi is saying that normally, a pact wa signed first, and issues were settled later through peaceful negotiations.
A confrontation can never be peaceful.
So, the presence of the word ‘confrontation’ is incorrect from contextual point-of-view.
The correct word should have been ‘dialogue’ or ‘negotiation’.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
…a pact was signed first, and issues were settledlater through peaceful negotiations…

S3. Ans. (e)
Sol. All the highlighted words are contextually correct and there is NO word which is incorrect from contextual point of view. Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.

S4. Ans. (a)
Sol. ‘crucify’ [verb] means ‘put (someone) to death by nailing or binding them to a cross, especially as an ancient punishment’;
The word ‘crucified’ seems inappropriate from a contextual point of view.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
…whether the Government had ever examined the financial…

S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. The word ‘matches’ seems inappropriate from a contextual point of view.
The context of the passage seems to suggest that Mr. Mohan Dharla is someone who wanted that India should never have any talks with Pakistan on the Kashmir issue.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
…that India should never have any talks with Pakistan on the Kashmir issue…

S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. The phrase ‘the government on Thursday’ suggests that the tense of the sentence should be past tense. So, the phrase ‘has moved a proposal’, insinuating present tense, is grammatically incorrect.
Also, the usage of ‘additional’ in the phrase ‘for an additional Rs. 41,000 crore’ suggests that this money, Rs. 41,000 crores, should be over and above the already budgeted Rs. 65,000 crores.
Among the given options, option (b) supplies correct corrections.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. The phrase ‘The RLSP had been contested’ is grammatically incorrect. The phrase ‘in the 2014 Lok Sabha election’ suggests that the tense of the sentence is Past Tense, either Simple Past or Past Perfect. Among the given alternatives, option (c) provides the correct alternative.
Similarly, the phrase ‘sweeping the NDA’ is contextually incorrect.
The tone of the sentence suggests that the clause starting with ‘which was…’ is in Passive Voice form of a Simple Past tense.
Among the given alternatives, option (c) provides the correct alternative for the second highlighted phrase.

S8. Ans. (e)
Sol. The given sentence is grammatically and contextually correct and does not require any correction.
Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.

S9. Ans. (a)
Sol. The first highlighted phrase ‘serving on central deputation’ is grammatically correct and doesn’t require any correction. The second highlighted phrase ‘in Chittoor in the southern State’ is grammatically incorrect and requires correction.
The usage of the preposition ‘in’ is incorrect. The correct preposition to be used is ‘at’. Among the given alternatives, option (a) provides the correct substitute.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

S10. Ans. (d)
Sol. The first highlighted phrase ‘who extended loans to’ is grammatically incorrect.
The usage of the relative pronoun ‘who’ is incorrect. The correct pronoun to be used is ‘that’. The reason is ‘Commercial banks’ are not human beings and ‘who’, as a relative pronoun, can only have human beings as its antecedents.
The second highlighted phrase ‘relax norms’ is grammatically incorrect. The finite verb for the subject ‘Commercial banks’ is ‘requested’. The tone of the sentence suggests that the second verb ‘relax’ should not be a finite verb, but rather should be an infinitive preceded by ‘to’.
Among the given alternatives, option (d) provides the correct corrections.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

S11. Ans. (c)
Sol. Irony [noun] means ‘a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result’;
The answer to the question can be derived from the first two sentences of the first paragraph.
Generally, it is expected that construction of a road would led to the cutting of trees but what happens in a village of Arunachal Pradesh is that the state’s largest tree will help spur the construction of a road.
Among the given options, only option (c) correctly fulfills the definition of ‘irony’.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

S12. Ans. (a)
Sol. Optimism [noun] means ‘hopefulness and confidence about the future or the success of something’;
Pessimism [noun] means ‘a tendency to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen’;
Happiness [noun] means ‘the state of being happy’;
Frustration [noun] means ‘the feeling of being upset or annoyed as a result of being unable to change something’;
Dishonesty [noun] means ‘deceitfulness shown in someone’s character or behaviour’;
A promise was made 20 years ago to the residents of Kallek Village that a road would be constructed that would join the village to the Highway, but the promise is still unfulfilled.
But instead of feeling sadness or frustration for it, the residents of Kallek Village have taken an initiative and built a trek to the state’s largest tree which is in the village, and the residents believe that the trek will help spur the construction of a road connecting the village to the highway.
A positive attitude which includes hope is shown by the residents of Kallek Village.
Among the given options, the word ‘optimism’ correctly expresses the attitude of the villagers of Kallek Village.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

S13. Ans. (e)
Sol. Popularize [verb] means cause (something) to become generally liked;
Increase [verb] means become or make greater in size, amount, or degree;
Develop [verb] means grow or cause to grow and become more mature, advanced, or elaborate;
Earn [verb] means obtain (money) in return for labour or services;
Discredit [verb] means harm the good reputation of;
The context of the sentence where the blank appears, and the preceding sentences suggest that the notion behind constructing trekking path to the state’s largest tree is that it would popularize trekking and would attract tourists to the extent that authorities would get motivated to fulfill their 20 year old promise to construct a road connecting the village to the Highway.
Among the given options, the word ‘popularize’ provides the correct contextual and grammatical sense to the blank.
Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.

S14. Ans. (b)
Sol. The usage of the word ‘Pasighat’ at (1) is incorrect as per the context of the sentence. The word at the position marked as (3) which is ‘inhabited’ provides correct contextual sense if placed at (1). Also, the context of the sentence suggests that the position marked as (3) requires the name of a place, and ‘Pasighat’ seems to be that name.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

S15. Ans. (d)
Sol. The context of the sentence suggests that the word marked as (C) would be replaced by an adjective.
The word ‘once’ which follows the (C) would help us determine the word which would replace the word (C). The phrase following the word ‘once’ is ‘a fragile sapling, brought here from Myanmar’. The word which would fill the blank should be an ANTONYM of the word ‘fragile’. The word which is currently at the position (C) ‘small’ is NOT an ANTONYM of ‘fragile’. Among the given options, the word ‘huge’ is the correct word which would fill the blank.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
