1). Effect 2). Progress 3). Influence 4). Cherish |
|
Answer» Correct option - 3 Let's FIND out the meaning of the following words:- Influence - The CAPACITY to have an effect. Hinder - To make something difficult. Progress - forward or onward movement towards a destination. Cherish - protect and care for (someone) lovingly. With reference to the context, blank should be filled with a verb. But, 'effect' is a NOUN. So, option 1 is eliminated. Now, looking at the statement, your relationship with yourself is the most important one that cannot hinder your happiness. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. And, happiness cannot be progressed. It is illogical. So, option 2 is eliminated. And, if you are happy with you, then it brings happiness in your life. Hence, your inner self has a great effect on your happiness. Thus, option 4 is not that MUCH relative as option 3. So, option 3 i.e. influence is the correct ANSWER. |

|
Answer» INSEPARABLY MEANS without a DIVISION, together. Invariably means always, regularly. Intrinsically means basically. Unceasingly means without a stop, constantly. The only apt options here that can make a meaningful sentence are B and D. Therefore, the correct ANSWER is option 4. |

1). Disclosed2). Leaked3). Betrayed4). Dedicated |
|
Answer» 'Disclosed' means 'to make a secret known', 'leaked' carries the same meaning as 'disclosed'. 'Dedicated' and 'devoted' cannot be the answer as these CARRY POSITIVE meaning and cannot bring disgrace. 'Betrayed' means 'to expose one's country, group or SOMEONE ELSE to DANGER by giving information to an enemy. The most suitable option is 'betrayed'. |
|
| 4. |
Which of the following fits the blank labelled (C)?1). Run2). Sleep3). State4). Fast |
|
Answer» The correct answer is OPTION 2, i.e., 'Sleep'. The sentence is- In certain jobs, people face___(C)____$restriction. The whole passage is about life disruption and one of the causes for this is 'sleep loss', the sentence SAYS that in certain jobs people face sleep restrictions, which AFFECTS the life and WORK of a person. Hence the WORD that fits the here correctly and makes the sentence meaningful is 'sleep'. |
|
| 5. |
1). Both A and C2). Both A and B3). Both B and C4). Only B |
|
Answer» The sentence shows that the child likes his toys very much and cannot stay away from them. This can be replaced by the phrases 'to part from' or 'to stay away from' which too MEAN to face a difficulty in staying away from SOMETHING. The phrase 'to GO beyond of' does not signify the above MEANING accurately. Thus, both A and B are good replacements and option 2 is correct. |
|
| 6. |
1). Kibble2). Meander3). Losses4). Vulnerability |
|
Answer» The meanings of the words are:$ Kibble => grind or CHOP$ Meander => a winding CURVE or bend of a river or road$ Vulnerability => the state of being at risk or EXPOSED$ A company would not want to REDUCE its 'revenue' which means 'income' and 'losses' does not make any SENSE here. Option 4 conveys a proper meaning that the company reduces its risk in a certain way.$ |
|
| 7. |
1). A and F2). B and E3). C and D4). A and C |
|
Answer» Through initiatives like Make in India and DIGITAL India, FOREIGN companies may set up their branches in India. Thus, facilities (services) as well as firms are APPROPRIATE terms. They cannot set up houses while trading. 'Shops' is a narrow term. Materials is completely inappropriate here. Setting up roots would signify that they want to settle permanently and arbitrarily in India, which is IMPOSSIBLE as India is a democratic country. Thus option 1 is the correct answer. |
|
| 8. |
Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (E)?1). Cooperative2). Remunerative3). Prerogative4). Innovative |
|
Answer» The word ''OPERATIVE'' is correct here. It means 'functioning or having effect.$' It makes the sentence meaningful. So OPTION 5 is correct. Cooperative: collective Remunerative: Well Paid Prerogative: Right |
|
| 9. |
1). A-E and C-D2). A-B and D-E3). A-C and B-D4). B-E and C-D |
|
Answer» Words A and E, and C and D have been interchanged. (A) :- here ‘reconcile’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘reconcile’ is ‘make someone ACCEPT (a disagreeable or unwelcome thing)’. The BJP candidate for CM cannot digest the FACT that the party lost the elections, therefore ‘reconcile’ here is the correct word. (C) :- here ‘grip’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘grip’ is ‘hold, clutch, catch’. ‘from the grip of the Congress’ forms a meaningful phrase. (D) :- here ‘strongman’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘strongman’ is ‘a leader who RULES by the exercise of threats, force, or violence’. Since the leader is using WRONG measures to acquire the POST, hence ‘strongman’ is the correct word. (E) :- here ‘desperate’ is the correct word. ‘desperate measures’ here mean the ‘extreme measures’ adopted by BJP leader. Correct sentence – ‘Unable to reconcile himself to the failure to wrest Karnataka from the grip of the Congress in last year’s Assembly election, the BJP strongman is adopting desperate measures to get another shot at becoming Chief Minister.’ |

|

|
| 12. |
1). A-B2). A-D3). B-C4). B-D |
|
Answer» Let us first understand the meaning of the words: To be pregnable means to be vulnerable to attack.$ To be disconsolate means to be very UNHAPPY and unable to be comforted.$ To be diligent means to show CARE in one's work or duties.$ To be despondent means to be in low spirits from loss of HOPE or courage.$ The only apt options here that can make the sentence meaningful are disconsolate or despondent, VIZ, B and D. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Complete sentence: When Rita didn't receive a call from her interviewer, she became disconsolate/ despondent. |
|
| 13. |
Which of the following fits in the blank labelled(J)?1). Haze2). Largesse3). Intervention4). Inane |
|
Answer» The word 'haze' means 'a state of mental confusion' and does not CONVEY any meaning here. 'Largesse' means '$liberality in bestowing gifts.' The word 'intervention' means 'interference' and conveys the meaning government interference should be AVOIDED at times. The word 'inane' means '$lacking sense or meaning; SILLY.' Option 3 is THUS the correct answer.$ |
|
| 14. |
1). Outrage, deep2). Slew, appalling 3). Number, fastidious4). Slew, profound |
|
Answer» The use of a before the two blanks suggests that the words should begin with a vowel sound (a,e,i,o,u) and not a consonant sound. So, we can eliminate options 1 and 2. The word fastidious means GIVING too much attention to small details and wanting everything to be CORRECT and perfect. This does not fit into the context (the decisions MADE by the Supreme Court can have a fastidious impact!). Thus, option 3 is also incorrect. Slew means a large number of something. This is appropriate for the first blank. Profound means very GREAT or intense. This can be used in the SECOND blank to convey that the number of decisions taken by the Supreme Court has an intense impact on our lives. Thus, the correct answer is option 4. |
|
| 15. |
Which of these words appropriately fits the blank labelled (J)?1). Sedentary2). Pediatric3). Revolutionary4). Chaotic |
|
Answer» The word lethargic (which means feeling UNWILLING and unable to do anything because of low energy) has a negative connotation that is not conveyed by the sentence. Thus, we can eliminate option 5. Similarly, the word chaotic (meaning in a state of complete confusion and disorder) does not make contextual sense here. Pediatric is the branch of medicine concerned with the development, care, and diseases of babies and children. This is out of context and hence cannot be USED. Sedentary means sitting a lot and refers to a person or job that is not very physically active. This fits into the context which CONVEYS that the sedentary / inactive Latino women took aerobic classes three times a week and noticed an appreciable increase in oxygen uptake. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. |
|
| 16. |
1).2). Mesmeric, memoirs3). Jejune, knowledge4). Tantalizing, notions |
|
Answer» The correct words are ''Jejune and Knowledge'' which means ''naive, simplistic and facts, information, and skills acquired'' respectively.This fits in the context of the sentence which is about a caption ANS what it emphasizes in. So option 3 is correct.$ Mesmeric: causing a person to become completely transfixed and unaware of their surroundings. memoirs: a historical account or biography written from personal knowledge Attractive: pleasing or appealing to the senses. perceptions: the ability to see, hear, or become AWARE of something through the senses. Tantalizing: TORMENT or tease (someone) with the sight or promise of something that is unobtainable. NOTIONS: a conception of or belief about something. Enthralling: capturing and holding one's attention; fascinating. research: the systematic investigation into and STUDY of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. |
|
| 17. |
1). Only B2). Only C3). Both A and B4). All the three |
|
Answer» The word 'flurry' means 'a small swirling mass of something, especially snow or leaves, moved by sudden GUSTS of wind' and does not fit here.$ Acclimate=> to adapt to a new place or different conditions$ ACERBIC=> sharp$ ABSURD=> stupid$ Thus option C fits here as the sentence states that no one would believe the excuse. The word here should JUSTIFY the reason thus 'absurd' is the correct ANSWER.$ |
|
| 18. |
1). Overlooked2). Directed3). Acknowledged4). Framed |
|
Answer» The sentence mentions that the person wanted to make an impact on other people. To write off someone MEANS you decide that they are UNIMPORTANT or useless and that they are not worth serious attention. Hence it can be replaced by ‘overlook’ which means ‘fail to notice’. The meanings of the other words are: Direct=> address or give instructions for the delivery of something Acknowledge=> accept or admit the existence or truth of Frame=> formulate a concept, plan, or system Invent=> CREATE or design something that has not existed before Hence the correct answer is option 1. |
|
| 19. |
Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (F)?1). decreased2). vanished3). soared4). boarded |
|
Answer» The word 'soared' means that SOMETHING has increased at a very HIGH RATE and it can be filled in the blank as the sentence suggests that the traffic congestion and the pollution increased as MANY COMMUTERS took to private vehicles. |
|
| 20. |
Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (B)?1). Cracked up2). Run for3). Make it up4). Bear out |
|
Answer» The context of the second SENTENCE suggests that the tension between the two COUNTRIES should reduce or lessen down. So the CORRECT word that should fit here is 'wind down'. The meanings of the given phrasal verbs are: Cracked up means outburst of laughter. Run for means to pursue something or someone. Make it up means to compensate. Bear out means to conform to the CORRECTNESS of something. Wind down means to draw or bring down GRADUALLY to close. Hence, the correct answer is option 5. |
|
| 21. |
1). Both A and B2). Both A and C 3). Only A4). Only C |
|
Answer» The sentence shows that the person likes to be in the limelight always, even if it requires creating a scene. This can be replaced by the phrase 'to seek the attention' which too MEANS to have the desire to be in the CENTER of attention of people. The phrases 'to turn the attention' and 'to GATHER the attention' does not signify the above meaning accurately. Thus, only C is a good replacement and option 4 is correct. |
|
| 22. |
Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (E)?1). Seditious2). Pretentious3). Ambitious4). Dubious |
|
Answer» The correct WORD here is 'ambitious' which means 'HIGH hopes.' The INTERNATIONAL automobile MANUFACTURERS launching their finest products in the INDIAN market is a sign that they have high hopes form India. So ambitious is the correct word. Gratuitous means 'done without good reason; uncalled for.' So it doesn't fit. Seditious: Provocative Pretentious: Showy Dubious: Uncertain |
|
| 23. |
1). Only (A)2). Both (A) and (C)3). (A), (B) and (C)4). Only (C) |
|
Answer» The answer is Option 1, Only (A). This is because the words, 'hugest' and 'grandiose' LOOK incorrect. 'Smallest' also seems improbable given that the first part of the sentence talks about Italy being the largest producer of WINE. The second emboldened word, 'similar' is incorrect since it is followed by the preposition, from. For this very REASON, 'resembling' and 'same' can also be ELIMINATED. Hence, the words given in (A) are most fitting. |
|
| 24. |
1). A and D2). B and E3). C and D4). B and D |
|
Answer» The usage of 'but' in the second half of the sentence indicates that two contrary (opposite) ideas have been EXPRESSED. The second half SOUNDS positive as it hopes that demonetisation can have long term benefits. Therefore, the blank must contain a word which expresses that demonetisation negatively affected the GDP growth. Discouraged is one such word. DAMPENED which means 'to make less strong or intense', is another such word. $ Choices B and E CARRY the opposite MEANING. Choices A and F are completely irrelevant here. Option 3 is the correct answer.$ |
|
| 25. |
1). A and C2). C and D3). B and D4). A and B |
|
Answer» The sentence suggests that the blank should contain a NOUN as it is used after the adjective 'emotional'. The context also suggests that the MEANING should be something emotional, like ' negative feelings' or 'stress' etc., as it refers to mother being unable to 'help'. Let's look at the meanings of the words:$ A. Urging- the action of urging someone to do something. ( urging does not indicate a negative STATE and hence is not suitable here.) B. Turmoils- a state of GREAT disturbance, CONFUSION, or uncertainty. C. Fugitive- a person who has escaped from captivity or is in hiding. D. Travails- work especially of a painful or laborious nature. The only words that can make the sentence meaningful are Turmoils and Travails, viz, B and D. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. |
|
| 26. |
Which word comes in the blank labelled E?1). Looting2). Cringe3). Clamouring4). Forage |
|
Answer» The blank should be filled with a verb in PRESENT continuous tense. The appropriate WORD is ‘looting’ as it MEANS ‘steal goods from a place, typically during a war or riot.’ PROSCRIBING is wrong as it means ‘forbidding, especially by law.’ The rest of the words are irrelevant as they mean: Cringe=> experience an inward shiver of embarrassment or disgust Clamouring=> shouting loudly and insistently Forge=> create something strong, enduring, or successful Hence the correct ANSWER is option 1. |
|
| 27. |
1). Grand 2). Extending 3). Wonderful4). Contenting |

| 30. |
Which of the following fits the blank labeled (A)?1).2). Impotence3). Lethargy4). Agitation |
|
Answer» The sentence conveys that the reform PROGRAMME could lose vigour DUE to the proposed hike in the fuel tax. ‘lose steam’ is the correct phrase here. It means ‘to lose energy or enthusiasm’. Thus, ‘steam’ fills the BLANK in the most appropriate manner. Other words are inappropriate. ‘impotence’ means ‘inability to take effective ACTION’. |
|
| 31. |
Which of these words appropriately fits blank labelled (E) ?1). Fed2). Fend3). Instigate4). Gather |
|
Answer» The passage concludes by asserting the NEED for economic equality. The people should be able to feed themselves or take care of themselves in order to prosper. In LIGHT of this, the word fend (which means to take care of and provide for oneself without depending on anyone else) will fit the given CONTEXT. Though the word fed more or less conveys a similar meaning, option 1 is not right because the grammatical structure demands a verb in simple present tense. As a matter of fact, feed could have been also appropriate for the BLANK labelled (E). Coup means a sudden and violent seizure of power from the current government.This is out of context and hence eliminated. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. |
|
| 32. |
1). Modal 2). Restive 3). Pit4). Modification |
|
Answer» The sentence suggests that the blank must contain a word that relates to the 'expansion' and CHANGE in the structure of the Fed. The only word that shows this meaning is 'modification'. The meanings of the other words are as FOLLOWS: Modal: relating to mode or form as opposed to substance. Restive: (of a person) UNABLE to remain still, silent, or submissive, especially because of boredom or dissatisfaction.$ Pit: a large hole in the ground. Rejuvenate: make (someone or something) look or feel better, YOUNGER, or more vital. Therefore, the correct ANSWER is option 4. |

|
| 36. |
1). A and F2). F and B3). C and D4). E and F |
|
Answer» SINCE the sentence talks about the still ongoing harassment of women in India for dowry, we can assume that this issue is a significant. This meaning is shared by choices A and F, major and prime. Major means ‘important or serious’ and prime means ‘of first importance; main.’ ‘Insignificant’ which means ‘too small or unimportant to be worth consideration’ coveys the OPPOSITE meaning of the one required and hence choice E is cancelled. The rest of the choices B, C and D are irrelevant as their meanings are: Cohesive=> characterized by or causing cohesion Timid=> showing a lack of courage or confidence; easily frightened Sharp=> having an edge or point that is ABLE to CUT or pierce something Hence the CORRECT answer is option 1. |
|
| 37. |
1). Jester2). Desolation3). Innate4). Ingratiate |
|
Answer» The correct word here is 'smear.' The same word can be used in both the sentences. But we can see that both sentences have completely different context. The word 'smear' can be used in both contexts. It means 'coat or MARK (something) MESSILY or CARELESSLY with a greasy or sticky substance' which is ideal for the first sentence. It ALSO means 'damage the reputation of (someone) by false accusations; slander.' This can be used for the second sentence. Jester: a person who habitually plays the fool. Desolation: a state of complete emptiness or destruction. Innate: inborn; natural. Ingratiate: bring oneself into favour with someone by FLATTERING or trying to please them. Thus, option 5 is the correct answer. |
|
| 38. |
1). Top, depressing2). Atop, dampener3). Along, dampening4). Atop, depression |
|
Answer» The SENTENCE hints that the several steps to reach the temple on top of a STEEP hill have PROBABLY discouraged many of the devotees. So, the correct words to be used are atop and dampener as atop means on the top of SOMETHING and the word dampener means to dull or depress one’s spirits. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Note – The word top alone would not have sufficed as the correct FIT for the blank. ‘On the top of’ is the correct usage. |
|
| 39. |

|
Answer» Correct OPTION - 2 Let's find out the meaning of the following words:- callous - showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. perplexed - completely baffled; very puzzled. flummoxed - bewildered or perplexed; puzzled. caring - displaying KINDNESS and concern for others. The given passage is based on the BJP government is TRYING to claim that electrification of states by PROVIDING 10% of electricity to each village than actually providing electricity to each household. Then, the passage focuses on what steps should be taken in order to achieve this target. Hence, clearly, the BJP government is not puzzled or showing cruelty in the passage. Hence, options 1, 3, 4 and 5 are eliminated. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer. |
|
