1 / 10

Direction: A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.

Q.  From speeding to careless driving, Indian divers are ____________________ , all barring road safety.

i. worthy of many accolades

ii. the most judicious or the safest in the world

iii. would be gracious to pin the blame on others

Only ii

All the above

Both ii and iii

Both i and iii

Only i

The blank is precede by an auxiliary verb, which means there is no requirement for one in the options. Also, we need to fill the blank with actions of Indian drivers that bars or prevents road safety. Accolades means any award, honour or laudatory notice. Here, accolade has been used in an ironic way. Hence, the correct answer is i.

2 / 10

Direction: A statement with three blanks, followed by three words, is given below. These words fit in the given sentence in some sequence. Choose the correct sequence from the given alternatives. If the correct sequence is not given in the alternatives, mark ‘None of these’ as the answer.

Q.  Public Broadcaster Doordarshan has finally come out __________ the offline service which allows you to _______________ its channels on the smartphone ___________ any internet connection.
I. Without
II. With
III. Watch

None of these

Without, watch, with

Without, with, watch

With, watch, without

Watch, with, without

The second blank will have a verb in its verb form because of the to-infinitive. So, 'watch' will fill the blank.
'Any' is always used in negative sentences. Since, there is no 'not' present in the sentence we have to use a word that would imply 'not'. So, 'without' will fit blank 3.
'Come out' means to emerge. We generally emerge with something. So, 'with' will fit the first blank.
Hence, the correct answer is "With, watch, without".

3 / 10

Direction: A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.

Q. Scientists have developed the first vaccine for chikungunya fever made from an insect-specific virus that __________________________________, making it safe and effective.

i. has many adverse effect on people

ii. quickly produces a strong immune defence

iii. offers efficient, safe and affordable protection against chikungunya

Only i

Both i and iii

All the above

Only ii

Both ii and iii

The blank has to be filled with the reason which would make the vaccine safe and effective. If, the vaccine affects people adversely, it wouldn’t be deemed as useful. But being fast and affordable is definitely desired. Hence, the correct answer is both ii, iii.

4 / 10

Direction: A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.

Q. The government’s decision to impose 10% customs duty on newsprint deals a _____________________________________ is already flailing.

i. further blow to an industry that

ii. farther blow to an industry that

iii. farther hit to the industry which

Both i and ii

Only i

Only ii

Both ii and iii

All the above

Only option i is correct.

Option ii uses 'farther' which is used for physical or measurable distance. There is no physical distance to be measured here. Instead, we are adding another 'blow' so, we would use 'further'.

Option iii uses 'which' for a descriptive clause, which is grammatically wrong.

5 / 10

Direction: A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.

Q.  Anyone who has driven on Indian roads has had to suddenly hit the brakes because of a _____________________ speed breaker.

i. Poorly marked

ii. Bumpy contraption

iii. terribly designed and almost always without markings

Only i

Both ii and iii

Both i and iii

Only ii

All the above

The blank needs adjective or set of words acting as adjectives to the noun ‘speed breaker’. ‘Bumpy contraption’ has an adjective and a noun as well. Hence, the correct answer is " Poorly marked, Bumpy contraption".

The correct answer: Anyone who has driven on Indian roads has had to suddenly hit the brakes because of a poorly marked speed breaker.
Anyone who has driven on Indian roads has had to suddenly hit the brakes because of a terribly designed and, almost always without markings, speed breaker.

6 / 10

Direction: A statement with three blanks, followed by three words, is given below. These words fit in the given sentence in some sequence. Choose the correct sequence from the given alternatives. If the correct sequence is not given in the alternatives, mark ‘None of these’ as the answer.

Q. The ___________ was successful in ____________ out the traitors that had managed to find sanctuary in the neighbouring sheik’s kingdom after betraying their own country and were immediately ___________, and imprisoned for further judgement.
I. Siege
II. Sieving
III. Seized

seized, sieving, siege

seized, siege, sieving

none of these

siege, sieving, seized

sieving, siege, seized

‘Siege’ means a military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies, with the aim of compelling those inside to surrender. ‘Sieving’ means removing (unwanted items). ‘Seized’ means take forcible possession of. From the contextual meanings, it is clear that ‘seized’ (as a verb is required) will go in the third blank while ‘siege’ (as a noun is required) will go in the first blank, leaving ‘sieving’ (as present participle is required) for the second blank. Hence, the correct sequence is option "siege, sieving, seized".

7 / 10

Direction: A statement with three blanks, followed by three words, is given below. These words fit in the given sentence in some sequence. Choose the correct sequence from the given alternatives. If the correct sequence is not given in the alternatives, mark ‘None of these’ as the answer.

Q.  Even though fairy lights definitely hold some _________ magic to make ___________, from mirrors to old wine bottles, appear charming, trees and fairy lights form a _________ combination indeed.

I. Anything
II. Special
III. Secret

secret, special, anything

anything, special, secret

special, anything, secret

secret, anything, special

special, secret, anything

Anything means used to refer to a thing, no matter what.
Special means better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual.
Secret means not known or seen or not meant to be known or seen by others.
Both blank 1 & 3 need an adjective. But we don’t know what kind of ‘magic’ the fairy lights possess. When talking about unknown quantities, we use ‘secret’. So, blank 1 will have ‘secret’ and blank 3 will have special. This leaves anything for the second blank. Hence, the correct answer is "secret, anything, special".

8 / 10

Direction: A statement with three blanks, followed by three words, is given below. These words fit in the given sentence in some sequence. Choose the correct sequence from the given alternatives. If the correct sequence is not given in the alternatives, mark ‘None of these’ as the answer.

I. Safety
II. Massive
III. Suggest

suggest, safety, massive

suggest, massive, safety

massive, safety, suggest

safety, suggest, massive

safety, massive, suggest

Safety means the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury.
Massive means exceptionally large.
Suggest means put forward for consideration.
Blank 1 requires a verb. ‘Suggest’ is a verb.
Blank 2 requires a noun. ‘Safety’ is a noun.
Blank 3 requires an adjective. ‘Massive’ is an adjective.
Hence, the correct answer is "suggest, safety, massive".

9 / 10

10 / 10

Direction: A statement with three blanks, followed by three words, is given below. These words fit in the given sentence in some sequence. Choose the correct sequence from the given alternatives. If the correct sequence is not given in the alternatives, mark ‘None of these’ as the answer.

Q. The __________ colonel decided that the recruits will have to practice __________ techniques from Monday in ____________ of the defensive techniques they had been practising so far.

I. Lieu
II. Lieutenant
III. Offensive

Lieutenant, offensive, lieu

None of these

Offensive, lieu, lieutenant

Lieutenant, lieu, offensive

Lieu, lieutenant, offensive

The blank preceding the word ‘colonel’ can either have something describing his nature (offensive) or describing his rank (lieutenant). But the second blank needs the word ‘offensive’ as it is an opposite to the ‘defensive techniques’ practised so far. The third blank should have ‘lieu’ in it as it means ‘instead’ to show the opposing forms of what the recruits would be doing. Thus, the first blank must have ‘lieutenant’ in it. Hence the correct sequence is option "Lieutenant, offensive, lieu".
