Shail Roy answered |
Lactic acid is formed by the process of incomplete oxidation.
Explanation:
Lactic acid is a type of organic acid that is produced in the body during certain metabolic processes. It is formed when glucose is metabolized in the absence of oxygen, a process called anaerobic glycolysis. Here is a detailed explanation of the process:
1. Glycolysis:
Glycolysis is the initial step in the breakdown of glucose, which occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. During glycolysis, one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvate. This process yields a small amount of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is a source of energy for cells.
2. Aerobic Respiration:
Under normal aerobic conditions, pyruvate is further oxidized in the mitochondria through a series of reactions called the Krebs cycle or the citric acid cycle. This process generates a large amount of ATP and carbon dioxide as byproducts.
3. Anaerobic Respiration:
In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate cannot enter the Krebs cycle. Instead, it undergoes a process called fermentation. There are two types of fermentation: alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
4. Lactic Acid Fermentation:
During lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is converted into lactic acid. This process occurs in various tissues such as muscle cells when the demand for energy exceeds the oxygen supply (e.g., during intense exercise). The conversion of pyruvate into lactic acid regenerates NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is necessary for glycolysis to continue. However, lactic acid fermentation is an inefficient process, as it only produces a small amount of ATP compared to aerobic respiration.
Conclusion:
In summary, lactic acid is formed by the process of incomplete oxidation, specifically during lactic acid fermentation. This process occurs when glucose is metabolized in the absence of oxygen, leading to the production of lactic acid as a byproduct.

Explanation:
The missing word in the sentence is related to customers making choices. Let's look at the options:
a) buy - This option is not suitable as it does not fit the context of the sentence. The sentence is talking about customers choosing between different options, not buying something specific.
b) take - This option is not suitable as well. The sentence is not talking about customers taking anything, but about them making choices.
c) pick - This option is the correct answer. The sentence is talking about customers picking or choosing between different options. This is the most appropriate word to use in this context.
d) want - This option is also not suitable. The sentence is not talking about customers wanting anything, but about them making choices based on available options.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - pick.

Explaining the Correct Answer:
Competition has affected businessmen in various ways. In the given paragraph, it is mentioned that businessmen in the past were not used to competition and they sold whatever they produced at whatever prices they chose. But with increasing competition, customers began to have a choice in what they bought. This led to the availability of imports at cheaper prices. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' which is prices.
Reasoning for Each Option:
a) Costs - While competition can impact the costs for businesses, it is not the most relevant option in the given context. The paragraph talks about the availability of cheaper imports and not necessarily about the cost of production for businesses.
b) Returns - Returns refer to the profit earned by businesses. While competition can impact the returns for businesses, the paragraph does not mention anything about it.
c) Dividend - Dividend refers to the distribution of profits to shareholders. This option is not relevant in the given context.
d) Prices - The availability of cheaper imports implies that the prices of products have been impacted by competition. Therefore, this is the correct option.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'D' which is prices.

Understanding the Context
The passage discusses India's water crisis, highlighting how different factors, including public perception and media portrayal, influence the narrative around water scarcity.
Analyzing the Options for Blank C
The sentence in blank C focuses on how viral news regarding groundwater shortages is linked to a prior report by Niti Aayog. The chosen option must indicate the relationship between the viral news and the report.
Examining the Options
- a) Also: Implies addition but doesn't connect the viral news to the report effectively.
- b) Similarly: Suggests a parallel but lacks the necessary cause-and-effect relationship.
- c) However: Indicates a contrast, which fits well as it signals a deviation from typical water crisis narratives.
- d) Mostly: Doesn't establish a strong connection between the viral news and its basis in the report.
- e) Notwithstanding: Conveys contradiction but lacks clarity in linking the viral reports to the Niti Aayog study.
Justification for Option C: "However"
- Contrast Established: The use of "however" highlights that while the public is usually alarmed by traditional issues (like droughts), this instance is different because it is anchored in documented statistics from a credible source (the Niti Aayog report).
- Critical Shift: It indicates a shift from expected media narratives to a more complex, data-driven discourse, emphasizing why this particular claim gained traction.
Conclusion
Thus, option 'C' effectively captures the essence of the connection between the viral claims and the 2018 report, making it the most appropriate choice for filling in the blank.

EduRev GMAT answered |
Farmers use fertiliser to increase the level of nutrients in soil.
'Boost' means increase. 'Accelerate' means increase in rate, amount, or extent and hence is
inappropriate.
‘Deplete’ means diminish in number or quantity, which gives us negative sense.
Hence Option E is the correct answer.

Understanding the Context
In the passage, researchers discuss the presence of plastic debris in the ocean's depths. The sentence containing the blank labeled "D" refers to the frequency of plastic debris in the deep sea.
Analyzing the Options
- a) occurrence: This noun fits well because it refers to the frequency or rate at which something happens. In this context, "the frequent occurrence of plastic debris" makes logical sense.
- b) occurring: This is a present participle that suggests an ongoing action but doesn’t fit grammatically in the sentence structure.
- c) development: This noun implies growth or progress, which does not align with the intended meaning of frequency.
- d) happen: This verb is too informal and does not fit the context of discussing frequency.
- e) eventuating: This word means to come about or happen as a result of something, which is not applicable here.
Conclusion
Given these analyses, the correct answer is option 'A' (occurrence). It effectively conveys that plastic debris is not just present but is frequently found, thereby emphasizing the severity of pollution in the deep sea. The use of “occurrence” enhances the scientific tone of the study.

Extract means 'to remove or to take out, especially by effort or force' and usage of its past participle is absurd here in the context.
Sail is generally used in the context of a ship or boat and usage of its present participle ' sailing' would be irrelevant in the context of the sentence.
Usage of the word surfaced will absolutely be illogical as the plastic and other debris were found in the depth of the ocean and not on its surface.
Clearly, discovered is the most suited word here for the blank.
Option C is hence the correct answer.

Appraisal - Enterprise does an appraisal to celebrate or appreciate the work at end of work. (They call it Appraisal Cycle).
Research - It means they think and work on future plans and applies to the enterprise.
Audit - It is an inspection or observation of past performance (Generally finance).
So according to all definitions, answer is "production".

Understanding the Question:
Humans have a need to be sensitive to their surroundings to _____ A _____, indicating an innate awareness of the environment and a preference for certain qualities.
Breaking Down the Answer:
Option B: innate - This term means that humans have an inherent or natural sensitivity to their environment, rather than learned or acquired.
Reasoning:
1. Humans have evolved to be naturally attuned to their surroundings for survival.
2. This innate sensitivity helps us seek out environments that provide safety, comfort, and stimulation.
3. Retailers and industries capitalize on this innate need by creating environments that cater to these preferences.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the term "innate" accurately describes the inherent sensitivity and awareness that humans have towards their environment, making it the correct answer in this context.

Understanding the Context
The passage discusses the challenges faced by small and marginal farmers in India and emphasizes the need for sustainable agricultural practices. The blank labeled C requires a word that accurately describes the type of agriculture being referred to.
Analysis of the Options
- Need: This option is vague and doesn’t specifically address agricultural practices.
- Supervise: This term implies oversight or management, which does not fit the context of agriculture's sustainability and challenges faced by farmers.
- Struggled: While this could imply farmers are having difficulties, it does not directly relate to the agricultural practices that have contributed to environmental issues.
- Negotiate: This word focuses on bargaining, which is not relevant to the description of agricultural practices.
- Address: While it implies dealing with an issue, it does not describe the type of agriculture referred to in the passage.
Why "Struggled" is the Correct Answer
The term "struggled" effectively captures the essence of the passage. It highlights that traditional agriculture has faced numerous challenges over decades, leading to detrimental effects on water resources and soil health. Using "struggled" here conveys that farmers have faced ongoing difficulties in maintaining sustainable practices amidst economic and environmental pressures.
Conclusion
The correct answer, "struggled," reflects the reality that small and marginal farmers in India have been grappling with the consequences of unsustainable agricultural practices. This word choice enhances the understanding of the urgent need for resilience and sustainable methods in agriculture.

Explanation:
Understanding the context:
The passage discusses the presence of plastic and debris in the deepest parts of the ocean, as highlighted by a recent study.
Analysis of the options:
The word that fits the first blank should indicate that plastic and debris have been discovered in the deepest ocean areas. Among the options provided, only "been" fits this context appropriately.
Reason for selecting option B:
1. Plastic and other pieces of debris have been found in the deepest parts of the ocean, indicating a past action of discovery.
2. The word "been" conveys the idea that the presence of plastic in the ocean depths is not a recent occurrence but has been ongoing.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) been.

Shivani Iyer answered |
Explanation:
Correct Answer: c) avoid
Reasoning:
- Context: The passage talks about a child learning to talk and the importance of not being corrected too much.
- Option C: avoid is the correct answer as it fits the context of the sentence. If a child is corrected too much while learning to talk, he may avoid talking altogether.
- When someone is corrected excessively, they might feel discouraged or anxious about making mistakes, causing them to avoid the activity altogether.

Geetika Sarkar answered |
Explanation:
Understanding the Context:
The passage discusses the challenges faced by small and marginal farmers in India, emphasizing the need for sustainable agriculture practices to build resilience against various threats.
Analysis of Options:
Among the options provided, option B - "Beholden" is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence. Here's why:
Reasoning:
- The term "Beholden" means being indebted or obligated to someone, which accurately captures the idea of farmers being economically vulnerable and dependent on traders who set prices.
- In the context of the sentence, the word "Beholden" conveys the power dynamics between farmers and traders, highlighting the farmers' lack of autonomy in determining prices or selling their produce.
Conclusion:
Therefore, option B - "Beholden" is the correct choice to complete the sentence in a way that aligns with the context and conveys the intended meaning effectively.

If we observe the choices given here closely, we can deduce that both ‘flourish’ and ‘grow’ are
synonyms and it implies that neither of them could fill in the blank. This eliminates option A and C
immediately.

Usage of ‘living’ for the blank would be grammatically incorrect.
‘Survive’ which means ‘continue to live or exist, especially in spite of danger or hardship’ seems to fill in
the blank most appropriately and usage of the verb ‘needed’ in the sentence confirms it in the context
of the passage.

Explanation:
The given passage talks about how children should be allowed to judge their own work. It compares it to how a child learns to talk without being corrected all the time. The passage emphasizes the importance of allowing children to develop their own skills by noticing the difference between their work and the work of others.
Option Two is "by." The correct answer is option C.
In this context, "learn by being corrected" means that the child learns through constant correction, which is not an effective method. Therefore, the correct option is "by."
Heading: Importance of Allowing Children to Judge their Own Work
- Children should be allowed to learn from their mistakes without always being corrected.
- A child who is corrected too much may become discouraged and stop trying.
- Children learn through observation and self-reflection.
Heading: Comparison to Learning to Talk
- Children learn to talk by listening to the language around them.
- They notice the difference between the language they use and the language others use.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, it is important to allow children to learn from their mistakes and develop their own skills. By allowing them to judge their own work, we encourage self-reflection, critical thinking, and independence. This is a crucial aspect of a child's development and should be encouraged by parents and educators alike.

In the context of the sentence, the best choices among the given ones are 'indicate' and 'demonstrates' but as the former one is a plural verb whereas the subject research is a singular one, the latter seems to fit the blank more appropriately.
Foresee means 'to predict something' and is absurd here.
Culminate means 'to reach a climax or point of highest development' and is absolutely illogical for the blank as well.
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

The author talks about the plight of NITI Aayog in the absence of any viable/major leverage to influence states.
The correct word is substantive here which means major.
Hence, option D is correct.

The statement states that Indian needs to rethink on the subject of water information dissemination. We need a preposition here and the correct one is ‘about’.
Hence, Option A is correct.

Explanation:
Option D: if is the correct answer because it completes the sentence logically and grammatically.
Here is the detailed explanation:
1. The Sentence:
The sentence states, "A child ... to talk does not learn ... being corrected all the time ... corrected too much, he will ... talking."
2. Analyzing the Sentence:
Let's break down the sentence and analyze it to understand the logical flow and the missing word.
3. First Part of the Sentence:
"A child ... to talk"
This part of the sentence implies that the child is learning to talk or acquiring language skills.
4. Second Part of the Sentence:
"... does not learn ..."
This part indicates that the child is not able to learn something or acquire a particular skill.
5. Third Part of the Sentence:
"... being corrected all the time ..."
This part suggests that the child is being corrected continuously or repeatedly.
6. Fourth Part of the Sentence:
"... corrected too much, he will ..."
This part implies that if the child is corrected excessively, there will be a consequence.
7. Fifth Part of the Sentence:
"... talking."
This part indicates that the child will stop talking or speaking.
8. Analyzing the Missing Word:
Now, let's focus on the missing word and its placement in the sentence.
9. Plausible Options:
The options provided are "unless," "being," "until," and "if."
10. Eliminating Options:
- "Unless" does not fit logically in this context, as it would create a contradictory meaning. The sentence suggests that the child does not learn when corrected, but "unless" implies the opposite.
- "Being" is a gerund form that does not fit grammatically in this sentence structure.
- "Until" does not fit logically in this context because it does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between being corrected and the child's action.
- "If" fits logically and grammatically in this context. It establishes a conditional relationship between being corrected excessively and the child's consequent action of stopping talking.
11. Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, it is evident that "if" is the correct answer as it completes the sentence logically and grammatically.
Option D: if is the correct answer because it completes the sentence logically and grammatically.
