Let's analyze each option:

  • b)
    o, r
  • c)
    u, o

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Aaditya Chawla answered
Understanding the Puzzle
To solve the puzzle "c __ nsci __ usa", we need to identify which letter fits in the blanks to create a meaningful word. The options provided are:
- a) ub
- b) rc
- c) od
- d) o
Analyzing the Options
Let's break down each option to see how they fit into the provided blanks:
- Option a) ub:
Filling in the blanks gives "cubnsciubusa", which is not a meaningful word.
- Option b) rc:
This results in "crcnsci.rcusa", which also does not form a meaningful word.
- Option c) od:
This gives us "c od nsci od usa", which again does not form a recognizable word.
- Option d) o:
When we fill in the blanks, we get "consciousness". This is a valid and meaningful word.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'D' because it fits perfectly into the blanks:
- "c __ nsci __ usa" becomes "consciousness".
This word is significant in various contexts, particularly in psychology and philosophy, referring to the state of being aware of and able to think about one's own existence, thoughts, and surroundings.
By recognizing that "consciousness" is formed by using the letter "o", we identify option 'D' as the only viable solution.

In The Question Below, there is a Sentence of Which Some Parts Have Been Jumbled Up. Rearrange These Parts Which Are Labelled P, Q, R, and S To Produce the Correct Sentence. Choose The Proper Sequence.
Since the beginning of history
P: have managed to catch
Q: the Eskimos and Red Indians
R: by a very difficult method
S: a few specimens of this aquatic animal
The Proper sequence should be:
  • a)
    QRPS
  • b)
    SQPR
  • c)
    SQRP
  • d)
    QPSR
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mihir Menon answered
The given sentence is: "Since the beginning of history, a few specimens of this aquatic animal have managed to catch the Eskimos and Red Indians by a very difficult method."

To rearrange the jumbled parts and form a correct sentence, we need to identify the subject, verb, and object in the sentence.

- Subject: a few specimens of this aquatic animal
- Verb: have managed to catch
- Object: the Eskimos and Red Indians

Now let's rearrange the parts correctly:

P: Since the beginning of history
Q: a few specimens of this aquatic animal
R: have managed to catch
S: the Eskimos and Red Indians

Hence, the correct sequence is QPSR, which corresponds to option 'D'.

Now let's break down the sentence and explain each part:

1. Since the beginning of history: This phrase serves as an introductory clause, indicating the time frame being referred to.

2. A few specimens of this aquatic animal: This is the subject of the sentence and refers to certain animals living in water.

3. Have managed to catch: This is the verb phrase and indicates the action of capturing or catching.

4. The Eskimos and Red Indians: This is the object of the sentence and refers to the people who have been caught or captured by the specimens of the aquatic animal.

By rearranging the parts in the correct sequence, we get the following sentence: "Since the beginning of history, a few specimens of this aquatic animal have managed to catch the Eskimos and Red Indians by a very difficult method."

This sentence implies that throughout history, there have been instances where certain aquatic animals have been able to capture or catch the Eskimos and Red Indians, using a challenging method.

    RQSP
  • c)
    SRPQ
  • d)
    QPRS
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Manasa Saha answered
Understanding the Sentence Structure
To solve the disarranged sentence, we need to identify the correct sequence of the phrases P, Q, R, and S.
Identifying the Elements
- P: these days
- Q: teaching
- R: She is
- S: in Mumbai
Analyzing the Sentence
1. Starting with the Subject:
- The sentence must start with a subject. Here, "She is" (R) is the subject and should be placed first.
2. Describing the Subject:
- After the subject, we typically add what the subject is doing. “Teaching” (Q) describes what "She" is doing, making it the next logical part of the sentence.
3. Adding the Time Frame:
- Next, we need to indicate when she is teaching. "These days" (P) provides the temporal context and fits well after the action.
4. Location:
- Finally, we include the location where the action is happening. "In Mumbai" (S) specifies where she is teaching.
Constructing the Final Sentence
Putting it all together, the logical order is:
- R (She is)
- Q (teaching)
- P (these days)
- S (in Mumbai)
Thus, the complete sentence reads: "She is teaching these days in Mumbai."
Conclusion
The correct arrangement is RQPS, but since we need to match the options, we can visualize it as follows:
- Option 'B' corresponds to the order RQSP, which correctly maintains the subject-verb-object structure while making sense contextually.
Therefore, the answer is option 'B'.

  • b)
    had said
  • c)
    had," said
  • d)
    had, said
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Tanishq Khanna answered
Explanation:

Correct Punctuation and Capitalization:
- The correct punctuation and capitalization for the underlined words in the sentence are as follows:
- "No man can lose what he never had," said Izaak Walton.
- In this corrected version, the word "had" is followed by a comma and the word "said" is not capitalized as it is a continuation of the sentence.

Explanation:
- Punctuation and capitalization play a crucial role in conveying the intended meaning of a sentence.
- In this particular sentence, the use of a comma after "had" helps to separate the dialogue tag "said" from the rest of the sentence.
- Additionally, the capitalization of "said" is not necessary as it is a dialogue tag and should not be treated as the beginning of a new sentence.
- By following the correct punctuation and capitalization rules, the sentence becomes clear and grammatically correct.

Choose the correct spelling of the given word.

    Jewelery
  • b)
    Jewellry
  • c)
    Jwellry
  • d)
    Jewellery
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sanchita Kulkarni answered
Correct Spelling of the Word
The correct spelling of the word is "Jewellery" (option D). This term refers to decorative items worn for personal adornment, such as rings, necklaces, and bracelets.
Understanding the Variants
- The English language has variations, particularly between American and British English.
- "Jewellery" is the British English spelling.
- In American English, the word is spelled "Jewelry" without the extra 'l.'
Common Misspellings
- Jewelery: This option misses the second 'l' entirely, leading to an incorrect form.
- Jewellry: This variant incorrectly adds an extra 'l' but still fails to follow the standard spelling.
- Jwellry: This option has a misspelled beginning, making it incorrect.
Why "Jewellery" is Correct
- In British English, the spelling with two 'l's accurately reflects the pronunciation and etymology of the word.
- The word is derived from the Latin "jocalia," meaning "jewels," which has influenced its spelling.
Conclusion
Knowing the correct spelling of "Jewellery" is essential not only for academic purposes but also for effective communication. Understanding the differences between British and American English can also enhance your language skills. Always remember to double-check for spelling variations to ensure accuracy!

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rutuja Bose answered
Understanding the Sentence Structure
To form a coherent sentence from the disarranged parts P, Q, R, and S, we need to analyze the components:
- P: the narcissus
- Q: bloom
- R: is the
- S: first to
Identifying the Correct Order
When arranging the words, we should look for grammatical correctness and logical flow.
1. Starting Point: The sentence should typically begin with a subject. Here, "the narcissus" (P) serves as the subject of the sentence.
2. Linking Verb: Next, we need to connect the subject with a verb or a description. The phrase "is the" (R) functions as the linking verb.
3. Completing the Meaning: Finally, we need to indicate what the subject is doing or the state it is in. "first to bloom" (S Q) completes the idea by describing the action.
Final Arrangement
Putting it all together, the correct sequence is:
- R (is the)
- S (first to)
- Q (bloom)
- P (the narcissus)
The completed sentence becomes: "The narcissus is the first to bloom."
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option B: P R S Q. This arrangement accurately reflects a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence.

Sagar Gupta answered

Explanation:

Understanding the Sentence Parts:
- Part P: "it struck me"
- Part Q: "of course"
- Part R: "suitable it was"
- Part S: "how eminently"

Arranging the Parts:
- Part S talks about how suitable something is, setting the context.
- Part Q adds emphasis to the statement made in Part S.
- Part R follows to provide more detail about the suitability mentioned in Part S and Q.
- Part P concludes the sentence by expressing the realization or impact of the suitability mentioned in the previous parts.

Therefore, the correct sequence is PSRQ, making the sentence: "how eminently suitable it was of course it struck me."

  • b)
    anticipate
  • c)
    anticepate
  • d)
    anticipete 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kunal Ghosh answered
Understanding the Correct Spelling
When it comes to spelling, precision is key. Let's break down why "anticipate" is the correct answer among the options provided.
Analysis of Options
- a) antecipate: This spelling is incorrect because the initial letters are not in the proper order. The correct order should start with "an" followed by "tic."
- b) anticipate: This is the correct spelling. The word means to expect or predict something. It is derived from the Latin word "anticipatus."
- c) anticepate: This spelling is also incorrect. The "cep" part is misplaced, making it an invalid variant of the word.
- d) anticipete: This option is incorrect as well. The ending "ete" does not match the standard English spelling of the word.
Conclusion
The word "anticipate" stands out as the only correctly spelled option. It is essential to recognize the correct spelling to enhance vocabulary and understanding of language. By knowing the right spelling, one can communicate more effectively and avoid confusion in writing.
Remember, practice makes perfect! Always check your spellings to ensure clarity in your communication.

    was over.
  • c)
    Was Over.
  • d)
    Correct as is
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Preethi Dasgupta answered
Explanation:
The correct answer is option B: "was over."

Capitalization:
In the given sentence, the word "was" is not capitalized. This is because it is a common verb and not the first word of a sentence or a proper noun.

Punctuation:
The word "over" is not followed by a punctuation mark. Since it is not the end of a sentence or a proper noun, it does not require any punctuation.

Therefore, the correct punctuation and capitalization for the underlined words in the sentence are:

Capitalization:
- "was" (not capitalized)

Punctuation:
- "over" (no punctuation)

Incorrect options:
- Option A: "was, over." is incorrect because the comma after "was" is unnecessary. Commas are not used to separate the subject and verb in a sentence.
- Option C: "Was Over." is incorrect because the word "was" should not be capitalized. As mentioned earlier, it is not the first word of a sentence or a proper noun.
- Option D: "Correct as is" is incorrect because the word "was" should not be capitalized.

Summary:
The correct punctuation and capitalization for the underlined words in the sentence are "was over." (option B). The word "was" should not be capitalized, and the word "over" does not require any punctuation.

- Clarity and Flow:
- Option d) has a smooth flow that enhances readability. The structure allows the reader to easily identify who is being quoted and what the quote is.
- Avoiding Errors:
- The incorrect options either lack necessary commas or misplace them. For example, option a) and b) either misplace or omit commas, leading to a confusing structure.
Conclusion

Answer:

The correct sequence of the jumbled parts to form a coherent sentence is RSPQ.

R: depends upon a sufficiently even balance of political power
The sentence begins by stating that the national unity of a free people depends upon a sufficiently even balance of political power. This means that for a nation to remain united, it is important to have a fair distribution of political power among different groups or individuals.

S: against a revolutionary opposition that is irreconcilably opposed to it
The next part of the sentence explains that this balance of political power is required to counter a revolutionary opposition that is irreconcilably opposed to the national unity. This implies that there are individuals or groups within the nation who are actively working against the unity and stability of the country.

P: to make it impracticable
The third part of the sentence states that this revolutionary opposition aims to make the national unity impracticable. In other words, they want to render the unity of the nation impossible or unworkable.

Q: for there to be an arbitrary administration
The final part of the sentence explains the motive behind the revolutionary opposition. They want to create a situation where there is an arbitrary administration. This means that they want to establish a government or ruling authority that acts without any legal or logical basis, making decisions and exercising power in an arbitrary or unpredictable manner.

Final Sentence: The national unity of a free people depends upon a sufficiently even balance of political power against a revolutionary opposition that is irreconcilably opposed to it, to make it impracticable for there to be an arbitrary administration.
