| 6. |
1). With2). In3). An4). On |
|
Answer» CORRECT answer: In The correct prepositioon to be USED in the context of the sentence is 'in'. OPTIONS 1, 3 and 4 are incorrect in the context of the sentence and would render the sentence meaningless. The correct option for the BLANK should be 'In'. |
|
| 7. |
1). Sense2). Wisdom3). Confidence4). Action |
|
Answer» The correct word here is 'confidence' which means 'the feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or SOMETHING'. Talking ALONE to the Principal can make anyone nervous.

|
| 8. |
1). Endowed2). Replenish3). Fortify4). Waited |
|
Answer» Let's check the meanings of given options :- Endowed - Someone or something having a desirable ability by chance or birth. Replenish - To make full or complete again; to supply with fresh fuel. Fortify - To protect or strengthen against attack. Waited - Someone who had waited. Clearly, blank has preposition to before it, which acts as an infinitive (to + V1). So, options 1 & 4 are eliminated. Now, option 3 is trivial to the context. Since, cereals cannot protect any stock. Hence, option 3 is eliminated. Thus, option 2 i.e. replenish is the correct answer. Correct sentence - Tons of cereals are needed to replenish stocks. |
|

Affluent - A group or area having a great deal of money; wealthy. Expunged - To obliterate or remove completely (SOMETHING unwanted or unpleasant). Critical - expressing or involving an analysis of the merits and FAULTS of a work. Now, the Reserve Bank of India must be analysing if banks provide home loan with lower interest rates.

|
| 13. |
