  • a)
    county
  • b)
    country
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Yash Sengupta answered
Answer:

Introduction:
The correct word to complete the paragraph is "country". This is because on the day mentioned, India was declared a republic, which means it became a sovereign nation with its own government and constitution. The word "county" is incorrect in this context as it refers to a smaller administrative division within a country, and does not convey the same meaning.

Explanation:
1. India's Independence:
- India gained its independence from British rule on 15th August 1947 after a long struggle for freedom.
- This marked the end of colonial rule and the beginning of self-governance for the Indian people.

2. India as a Democratic Republic:
- Two and a half years after gaining independence, India transitioned to a Democratic Republic on a significant day in its history, which is now celebrated as Republic Day.
- On 26th January 1950, the Constitution of India came into force, and India was officially declared a republic.
- The Constitution provided the framework for the governance of the country, outlining the rights and responsibilities of its citizens, as well as the structure and functioning of the government.

3. Significance of Republic Day:
- Republic Day is celebrated every year in India to commemorate the day the country became a republic.
- It is a national holiday and is marked by various events and celebrations, including a grand parade in the capital city of New Delhi.
- The parade showcases the diversity and cultural heritage of India and is attended by the President of India, who is the head of state.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the correct word to complete the paragraph is "country". India became a republic on 26th January 1950, marking the day when the constitution came into force. This transition from colonial rule to a sovereign nation with its own government and constitution is a significant milestone in India's history. Republic Day is now celebrated annually to commemorate this important event.

  • a)
    Selected
  • b)
    Elected
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Saptarshi Kapoor answered
Explanation:

  • The paragraph talks about Dr. R. Ambedkar and his role in drafting and submitting the Indian constitution to the Assembly in 1947.

  • The missing word should describe how Dr. R. Ambedkar became the chairman of the Drafting Committee.

  • The two options given are 'selected' and 'elected'.

  • The correct answer is 'elected' because Dr. R. Ambedkar was chosen by the members of the Constituent Assembly through a voting process. He was not simply 'selected' by a higher authority or appointed without any input from the Assembly members.

  • The word 'elected' implies a democratic process where the people have a say in who gets chosen for a particular role or position.

It commemorates the day when the Constitution of India came into effect in 1950, replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India.

Identifying the correct word:

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "This day is of great importance for every Indian." By using "This," we establish a direct connection between the sentence and the topic being discussed, which is Republic Day.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the correct word to complete the sentence is "This." It refers back to Republic Day and signifies that it is an important day for every Indian. Republic Day holds great significance for the Indian nation as it symbolizes the adoption of the Indian Constitution and the principles it upholds.

  • a)
    anointed
  • b)
    appointed
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Yash Sengupta answered
The correct word to complete the paragraph is 'appointed'.

Explanation:
The given paragraph is about the Drafting Committee, which was responsible for drafting the permanent constitution of India. The committee was formed on the 28th of August in 1947.

- Background Information:
- The Drafting Committee: This committee was formed to draft the constitution of India.
- Permanent Constitution: The constitution that would serve as the guiding document for the country.
- Meeting on 28th August 1947: The committee had a meeting on this date to discuss its responsibilities and tasks.

- Meaning of the words:

- Appointed: To appoint means to assign or designate someone for a particular role or task. This word accurately describes the action taken to form the Drafting Committee.

- Reason for choosing 'appointed':
- The word 'appointed' fits the context of the paragraph because it accurately describes the action taken to form the Drafting Committee.
- The committee was not anointed but rather appointed by a formal process.
- The committee members were chosen and given the responsibility to draft the permanent constitution.

Therefore, the correct word to complete the paragraph is 'appointed'.

  • c)
    Employment
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Root Word in "unemployable"

The root word in the word "unemployable" is employ.

Explanation:

The word "unemployable" is formed by adding the prefix "un-" to the root word "employable". To determine the root word, we need to remove the prefix from the word.

Steps to Identify the Root Word:

1. Remove the prefix "un-":
- "unemployable" without the prefix becomes "employable".

2. Analyze the remaining word:
- The word "employable" refers to someone who is capable of being employed or hired for a job. It describes someone who possesses the necessary skills, qualifications, or attributes to be considered suitable for employment.

3. Identify the root word:
- The root word in "employable" is "employ".

Conclusion:

The root word in the word "unemployable" is "employ". The prefix "un-" is added to the root word to change the meaning of the word to "not capable of being employed".

Q. Which word shows a correct prefix and suffix added to the word 'usual' to make another word?
  • a)
    Misusually
  • b)
    Unusually
  • c)
    Disusual
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Harsh Malik answered
Prefix and Suffix:
In order to understand the correct option, let's first understand what a prefix and suffix are.

Prefix: A prefix is a word part added at the beginning of a base word to create a new word with a different meaning. It changes the meaning of the base word.

Suffix: A suffix is a word part added at the end of a base word to create a new word with a different meaning. It also changes the meaning of the base word.

Usual:
The base word in this question is "usual". It means something that is commonly or regularly done or experienced.

Options:
a) Misusually
b) Unusually
c) Disusual

Explanation:
Now let's analyze each option to determine which one has the correct prefix and suffix added to the base word "usual".

a) Misusually: The prefix "mis-" means wrongly or incorrectly. However, in this context, it doesn't make sense to say "misusually" because it doesn't convey a clear meaning.

b) Unusually: The prefix "un-" means not or opposite of. When added to the base word "usual", it creates the word "unusually", which means not usual or out of the ordinary. This is the correct option as it follows the rule of adding a prefix and suffix to change the meaning of the base word.

c) Disusual: The prefix "dis-" means not or opposite of. However, the suffix "-ual" doesn't fit with the base word "usual". "Disusual" is not a recognized word and doesn't convey a clear meaning.

Conclusion:
The correct option is b) Unusually. The prefix "un-" and suffix "-ly" have been added to the base word "usual" to create the word "unusually", which means not usual or out of the ordinary.
