Answer» The WORD ‘DESCENDANT’ is inappropriate. ‘descendant’ means ‘a PERSON, plant, or ANIMAL that is descended from a particular ancestor; successor’. Since ‘Raghuram Rajan’ was RBI governor before ‘Urijit Patel’ thus, ‘predecessor’ is the most appropriate word here.

Answer» The word ‘advantage’ is inappropriate here. There were controversies and PROBLEMATIC issues going on between ‘the Centre’ and ‘the RBI’. The resignation of the RBI Governor added insult to the injury. Thus, ‘embarrassment’ is the most appropriate word here. ‘composure’ means ‘calmness’; ‘impetus’ means ‘SOMETHING that MAKES a PROCESS or activity happen or happen more quickly’ and ‘timidity’ means ‘lack of courage or confidence’. All these are IRRELEVANT.

4.	1). Only A2). C and D3). A and D4). A and C
Answer» The given sentence has errors in two parts, i.e. A and C. Part A- *‘closer’ should replace ‘closest’. Since comparison is being MADE between Pardeep Narwal and other players (‘than any other player’), COMPARATIVE form* of adjective should be used and not the superlative form. Part C- the WORD ‘*mistake’ is superfluous here. ‘blunder’ itself MEANS ‘a mistake’, thus both words are not used together. Correct sentence- ‘Pardeep Narwal was closer to his ‘super 10’ than any other player, when his blunder forced him to leave the court.*’

6.	Which is the last sentence in the correct order?1). A2). E3). B4). D
Answer» The correct answer is option 5, i.e., C. To DERIVE the last sentence of the correct arrangement, it is imperative to find out the FIRST six SENTENCES of the correct arrangement. From the above solutions, we have been able to derive B as the first sentence, as per the question, 2 as the second sentence, E as the third sentence, D as the fourth sentence, 5 as the fifth sentence (given by the question) and A as the fifth sentence of the correct arrangement. At this point, we are able to derive that the first six sentences of the correct arrangement are B2ED5A. The only sentence that we are left with is C, which logically MAKES the last sentence of the arrangement. Also, it talks about an actual meeting between the two countries on a concluding note. Now, we have been able to derive that after B2ED5AC form the correct arrangement. On the basis of this, we can also state that C or option 5 makes the last sentence of the right arrangement. Therefore, the correct arrangement is B2ED5AC. Hence, C or option 5 forms the right answer.

8.	Which of the following is appropriate for blank labelled (B)?1). Aggressive2). Ardent3). Dedicated4). Proactive
Answer» Aggressive means to behave in a violent and angry way. This will not be appropriate because the Will to Power is not aggressive in nature. So, we can eliminate OPTION 1. Option 3 is also not a proper fit for the blank. Ardent - very enthusiastic or passionate Proactive -to take actions in ORDER to control a SITUATION rather than just reacting to it after it has happened Solicit - to ask someone for money, information, or any other kind of help The part of the sentence after the blank ‘to act in life and not just to react’ suggests the use of the word proactive to convey a logical meaning. Thus, the correct ANSWER is option 4.

Answer» The correct answer is <B>option 5, i.e., A. To derive the SIXTH sentence of the correct arrangement, it is imperative to find out the first five sentences of the correct arrangement. From the above solutions, we have been able to derive B as the first sentence, as per the question, 2 as the second sentence, E as the third sentence, D as the fourth sentence and 5 as the fifth sentence (PROVIDED by the question) of the arrangement.
