Answer»

CORRECT option - 5

Let's find out the meaning of the following words:-

Callous - Heartless; rude; scathe; cold-hearted.

Cajole - Persuade someone to do something by sustained flattery often for selfish motives.

Swayed - INFLUENCED.

Agglomerated - To collect or form into a mass or group.

Enduring - Lasting over a period of time; durable.

With reference to the context, 'worthy' MEANS valuable. Hence, options 1, 2 & 3 are giving the OPPOSITE meaning to the statement. Hence, these are eliminated. Now, option 4 is out of context. Here, word 'enduring' is the most appropriate word to fit in the blank. Hence, option 5 i.e. enduring is the correct answer.

310.	Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (E)?1). significantly 2). drastically3). horrifically4). profitably
Answer» The WORD *'significantly'* means greatly and as the sentence is pointing out the fact that the population was increasing at a high RATE, we can MARK the first option as the correct ANSWER.

314.	Which of the following fits in the blank labelled (B)?1). Tender2). Dirge3). Flout4). Reciprocate
Answer» The word 'tender' is an ADJECTIVE which means 'kind and soft' and makes no sense here. The word 'dirge' means 'a mournful song' and is inappropriate here. The word 'flout' means 'reject' and makes no sense here. The word 'reciprocate' means 'react' and fits here. It conveys the meaning that the brahmin thought Buddha would also behave in the same MANNER. The word 'mock' means 'ridicule' and does not convey any meaning here. THUS option 4 is the correct ANSWER.

317.	Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (A)?1). Exploring2). Locating 3). Devising4). Paving
Answer» The expression that must be used here is 'pave the way' which means to make progress or making things easier. To pave means to lay a road, so this expression alludes to paving the road so that moving FORWARD becomes easier. Exploring, locating, devising are words that can be used when SOMETHING UNKNOWN like an unknown road is DISCOVERED. So they are ruled out. On the other hand, REVEAL means to show itself, so this can't be used either.

319.	Which of the following fits in the blank labelled (E)?1). Admonishes2). Compensates3). Scatters4). Advocates
Answer» The passage makes it understood that the man had a small PLACE to LIVE in which was not suitable for him but he did not WANT to go away from his friends. Thus the word 'admonishes' which means 'scolds firmly' is incorrect here. The word 'compensates' which means 'reduce or counteract (something unwelcome or unpleasant) by exerting an opposite force or effect$' is the correct word here. The word 'scatters' means 'distributes' and is incorrect here. The word 'advocates' means 'supports' and is not wrong but is less apt than the word 'compensates.' The word 'boosts' means 'encourages' and is not the most suitable answer here. Thus OPTION 2 is the correct answer.

324.	1). Somber2). Dingy3). Shady4). Cheerful
Answer» In the FIRST sentence the colours need to be described by a WORD that MEANS dull or subdued in relation with grief. Thus options 1, 2, and 3 can be used. In sentence b because 'despite' has been used, it means that the person was not one with the cheeriness of his surroundings. Thus option 1- 'somber'; is the best fit answer as it can refer to dark or dull in COLOUR or tone or can also mean having or conveying a feeling of deep seriousness and sadness.$

337.	1). Hills2). Hot3). Popularity4). Wide
Answer» ?The sentence talks about forests of CHESTNUT and PINE trees. The blank must contain a noun, as it comes after the adjective 'immense', meaning a lot of or huge. The blank must contain a WORD that means an area or the huge degree SHOWN by the adjective. The only word that REFLECTS this is 'extent', which means the degree of something. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5.

339.	1). Involvement of others2). An excuse3). Unnecessary problem4). Chaos
Answer» The idiom 'song and a dance' means 'an EXCUSE.' Thus option 2 is the correct ANSWER.

347.	Which of the following words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (J)?1). holistic 2). winsome3). gigantic4). meagre
Answer» According to the passage, the project of DMRC or the Metro is very huge and ENORMOUS. The sentence with the blank also DESCRIBES this project and out of the GIVEN options, only the word *'gigantic'* MEANS the same thing.
