Answer» Words A and D, and B and E have been interchanged. (A) :- here ‘kicked’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘kicked’ is ‘to start to have an effect or to start operating’. Since the award ceremony has started, therefore ‘kicked’ is the correct word. (B) :- here ‘powerful’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘powerful’ is ‘strong’. ‘muted’ here does not make sense. Names of celebrities like Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama suggest that ‘powerful’ is the most suitable word. (D) :- here ‘display’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘display’ is ‘a performance, show, or EVENT staged for public entertainment’. (E) :- here ‘muted’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘muted’ is ‘silent, toned down’. ‘FEMALE voices were SOMEWHAT muted at the 2018 ceremony’ forms a meaningful phrase. Correct sentence – ‘The 61st Grammy AWARDS kicked with a group of powerful women, including Michelle Obama and Lady Gaga, DESCRIBING the role of music in their lives a display that came a year after female voices were somewhat muted at the 2018 ceremony.’ |

|
Answer» Correct option - 2 Let's find the meaning of following words :- Vandalised - deliberately destroy or damage (public or private PROPERTY). Relevant - Appropriate to what it is being DONE or considered. With reference to the context, for Britain, BREXIT has made a search for non-European PARTNERSHIPS basically which are useful for the country. Clearly, it will not deal with countries which are worthless, ignorant or vandalised. Thus, options 1, 3 & 5 are eliminated. Now, "noticed" is not as appropriate as "relevant". HENCE, option 4 is eliminated. Thus, option 2 is the correct answer. |

1). Headed2). Lie3). Lead4). Brought |
|
Answer» The sentence contains an action which in this case is the CONTINUOUS raining and a reaction to the action which is the flood. In such a sentence, the CORRECT verb to be used to refer to the result of the action should be of past tense form. Therefore, “$lie” and “$lead” which are present forms of verbs are incorrect and eliminated. The WORD “$brought” is also an incorrect word to be used since rains did not bring floods but RATHER caused it. The word “$HEADED” is also incorrect.$ Hence, the correct word to be used is “$led” i.e option 5 which refers to the result of an action.$ |
|
| 273. |
1). Apart2).3). Bombard4). Meagre |
|
Answer» ?MEAGRE means very few. Bombard is to attack something forcefully.

'Various' is the only word that can fit the blank. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. |
|

|

Sort: A PERSON of a particular type. Homogeneous : Made up of the same kind of people or things. Now looking at the context of the sentence, DIVERSITY can only be possible in varieties.

Completed sentence: Unity in diversity means oneness in multifarious/ assortment. |

1). Decided2). Substantiated3). Producing4). Audience |
|

So, the word has been correctly used in statement A.It refers to the phrase sung or told REPEATEDLY by Sheffield United fans. The word has been incorrectly used in statement C. It does not fit into the context.

This meaning is shared by CHOICES A and B, sacred and holy. Sacred means ‘connected with God or a god or dedicated to a religious purpose and so deserving veneration’ and holy means ‘dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose.’ Choices C, D, E and F are IRRELEVANT as their meanings are: Scared=> fearful; frightened Fragment=> break or cause to break into fragments Wound=> INFLICT a wound on Ridiculous=> deserving or inviting mockery; absurd Hence the correct answer is option 1. |

Answer» The word harbour refers to the coastal area of sea partly enclosed by a thick wall (in order to PROTECT the area from waves) where BOATS and ships can be sheltered for safety. In its verb form, the word harbour means to keep an emotion, secret or thought in one’s mind for a long period of time. So this word is used correctly in statement A. Statements B and C do not MAKE logical sense because of the incorrect usage of the word harbour. The possible substitutes for this word are as follows: Statement B : To prevent the colossal loss of lives in road accidents, we are giving priority torectifying / amending / repairing$ accident-prone black spots through ENGINEERING means, employing road safety features at the design stage for highways, conducting road safety audits, setting up driver training and post-trauma care centres as well as generating awareness.
