Akshara Basak answered
Explanation:

The given question does not provide any context or information to determine the correct answer. It simply shows a series of numbers with spaces in between. Therefore, any of the options could be correct depending on the interpretation.

However, if we assume that the question is asking for the numbers in the series, then the correct answer would be option 'D', which shows the numbers 1 and 2 with multiple spaces in between.

To explain this answer further, we can break it down into the following points:

- The series of numbers is shown with spaces in between, which could be interpreted as either a separator or a part of the numbers themselves.
- Option 'A' shows only the number 1, which is a possible interpretation if we consider the spaces as separators. However, if we consider the spaces as part of the numbers, then option 'A' is not correct.
- Option 'B' shows only the number 2, which is also a possible interpretation if we consider the spaces as separators. However, if we consider the spaces as part of the numbers, then option 'B' is not correct.
- Option 'C' shows both 1 and 2 without any spaces in between, which is not consistent with the given series of numbers. Therefore, option 'C' is not correct.
- Option 'D' shows both 1 and 2 with multiple spaces in between, which is a possible interpretation if we consider the spaces as part of the numbers. Therefore, option 'D' is the correct answer.

In conclusion, the correct answer to this question depends on the interpretation of the series of numbers and the spaces in between. However, if we assume that the question is asking for the numbers in the series, then option 'D' is the correct answer.

The Odd One Out: Explanation

Introduction
This question is asking us to find the odd one out from a given list of words. The options are Big, Huge, Small, and Giant. All of these words are adjectives used to describe the size of something. Let's analyze each option to identify the odd one out.

Option A: Big
The word 'big' is used to describe something that is larger in size than average. It is a common adjective used in everyday language. It is not the odd one out as it fits the category of size adjectives.

Option B: Huge
The word 'huge' is used to describe something that is extremely large in size. It is a more extreme version of the word 'big' and is also commonly used in everyday language. It is not the odd one out as it also fits the category of size adjectives.

Option C: Small
The word 'small' is used to describe something that is little or not big in size. It is the odd one out as it is the only option that describes a smaller size, whereas the other options describe larger sizes.

Option D: Giant
The word 'giant' is used to describe something that is very large, usually bigger than humans or other animals. It is not the odd one out as it fits the category of size adjectives like 'huge.'

Conclusion
Out of all the given options, 'small' is the odd one out as it is the only option that describes a smaller size. The other options, 'big,' 'huge,' and 'giant' all describe larger sizes.

Rhyming Words with Rain


There are several words that rhyme with "rain." Rhyming words are words that have the same ending sound. In this case, we are looking for words that have a similar sound to "ain."

Train
One word that rhymes with "rain" is "train." Both words end with the same sound, "ain," making them rhyme. The "ain" sound in both words is pronounced the same way.

Explanation:
When we say the word "rain," we hear the "ain" sound at the end. Similarly, when we say the word "train," we also hear the "ain" sound at the end. This makes "train" a suitable rhyming word for "rain."

Other Options:
The other options given, "ten" and "end," do not have the same ending sound as "rain." Therefore, they do not rhyme with "rain." The correct answer is option C, "train."

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the word "rain" rhymes with the word "train." They both have the same ending sound, "ain." Rhyming words have a similar ending sound, and in this case, "train" is the only word that fits this criteria.

    Air
  • b)
    Ant
  • c)
    Bull
  • d)
    Rabbit
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashish Malik answered
Understanding the Correct Answer: Rabbit
When comparing speed among various animals, it’s important to understand their characteristics and natural abilities. In this case, the question asks, "As fast as a/an _____________," with the options being Air, Ant, Bull, and Rabbit.
Why Rabbit is the Correct Answer
- Speed of Rabbits:
Rabbits are known for their incredible speed and agility. They can run at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) in short bursts, making them some of the fastest small animals in the wild.
- Comparison with Other Options:
- Air: While air can be fast, it is not an animal and does not directly compare in this context.
- Ant: Ants are small and can move quickly for their size, but they are not known for speed compared to larger animals.
- Bull: Bulls can be strong and powerful, but they are not particularly fast animals. They can run quickly over short distances but do not match the speed of a rabbit.
The Importance of Context
- Common Expressions:
The phrase "as fast as a rabbit" is a common expression that emphasizes quickness. This cultural reference further supports why "Rabbit" is the most fitting choice in this context.
- Animal Characteristics:
Each animal has its unique characteristics, and in terms of speed, rabbits clearly outperform the other options listed.
In summary, when completing the phrase, "As fast as a/an _____________," the most logical and contextually relevant option is "Rabbit," due to their remarkable speed and agility compared to the other animals provided.

Why are two children nobody's friend?
  • a)
    Because they share everything with them
  • b)
    Because they do not share their things with friends.
  • c)
    Because they don't talk with them
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nabanita Bose answered
Explanation:

The correct answer is option B, which states that "two children are nobody's friend because they do not share their things with friends." This means that the children are not willing to share their belongings with others, which can make it difficult for them to form friendships with their peers.

Sharing is an essential aspect of building and maintaining relationships, especially among children. When children share their toys, snacks, or other possessions with others, they demonstrate generosity, kindness, and empathy, which are all important qualities that help to foster social connections and friendships.

On the other hand, when children are unwilling to share, they may come across as selfish, unkind, or uninterested in building relationships with others. This can make it challenging for them to form friendships, as other children may feel excluded or resentful when they are not allowed to join in and play with the child's toys or games.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the reason why two children are nobody's friend is that they do not share their belongings with others. Sharing is an essential aspect of building relationships and forming friendships, and children who are unwilling to share may struggle to connect with their peers. It is important for children to learn the value of sharing and to practice this behavior regularly as they grow and develop.

Radha is ___________late.
  • a)
    Nothing
  • b)
    No
  • c)
    Never
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Prabhat mehra answered
Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the sentence "Radha is ___________ late," we need to fill in the blank with a word that fits grammatically and contextually. The options provided are:
- a) Nothing
- b) No
- c) Never
- d) None of these
Why "Never" is Correct
The word "never" is an adverb that indicates the absence of something at any time. In this case, saying "Radha is never late" suggests that Radha is always punctual, which is a clear and definitive statement.
Analyzing Other Options
- a) Nothing: This option does not make sense in the context. The sentence would read "Radha is nothing late," which is grammatically incorrect.
- b) No: Similarly, "Radha is no late" is incorrect. The word "no" cannot be used in this manner within the sentence structure.
- d) None of these: Since "never" is a suitable option, this choice is not correct.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'C' (never), which accurately completes the sentence by conveying that Radha is consistently on time. This reinforces a positive image of punctuality and reliability. Therefore, the best choice here is "Radha is never late."

The girl in the first stanza of the poem did not like to share her sweets.

Juhi Kumar answered
The Girl in the First Stanza of the Poem Did Not Like to Share Her Sweets

The answer to the question is True. The girl in the first stanza of the poem did not like to share her sweets. Let's analyze the poem to understand why.

Stanza 1:
In the first stanza of the poem, the speaker describes a girl who has a box of sweets. The girl is not willing to share her sweets with anyone. The phrase "She'd eat them all herself" implies that she wants to keep all the sweets to herself and not share them with others.

Stanza 2:
In the second stanza, the speaker introduces another character, a boy who has a bag of fruit. Unlike the girl in the first stanza, the boy is happy to share his fruit with others. He offers his fruit to the girl, asking her if she would like to have some. However, the girl still refuses to share her sweets and does not accept the boy's offer.

Stanza 3:
In the third stanza, the speaker mentions that the girl's sweets are delicious and tasty, indicating that they are something that others might want to enjoy as well. However, the girl's unwillingness to share her sweets reflects a selfish attitude.

Stanza 4:
In the final stanza, the speaker concludes by saying that the girl's attitude towards sharing her sweets is not very nice. This suggests that the poem is trying to convey a message about the importance of sharing and being generous towards others.

Conclusion:
Based on the analysis of the poem, it is evident that the girl in the first stanza did not like to share her sweets. Her refusal to share and her selfish attitude are portrayed throughout the poem.

Write the opposite of lend.
  • a)
    Borrow
  • b)
    Nobody
  • c)
    Give
  • d)
    Steal
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Opposite of lend is borrow

Lending and borrowing are two actions that are closely related but have opposite meanings. While lending involves giving someone something, such as money or an object, with the expectation that it will be returned, borrowing involves taking something from someone with the intention of returning it.

Explanation:
Lending is the act of giving something to someone for temporary use, with the expectation that it will be returned. For example, if you lend a friend $10, you are giving them $10 with the expectation that they will give it back to you at a later time.

On the other hand, borrowing is the act of taking something from someone with the intent of returning it. If you borrow $10 from a friend, you are taking $10 from them with the understanding that you will give it back to them later.

Example:
Let's say you have a book that your friend wants to read. If you lend the book to your friend, you are giving them the book with the expectation that they will return it to you once they have finished reading it. In this case, you are the lender and your friend is the borrower.

Similarly, if you need to borrow a pen from a classmate, you are asking to use their pen with the understanding that you will return it to them once you are done. In this situation, you are the borrower and your classmate is the lender.

Therefore, the opposite of lending is borrowing, as they represent two different roles in the exchange of goods or money.

Choose the word which doesnot rhyme wih train.
  • a)
    Brain
  • b)
    Stare
  • c)
    Drain
  • d)
    Crane
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The word which does not rhyme with "train" is "stare".

Explanation:
When we talk about rhyming words, we are referring to words that have similar sounds at the end. Rhyming words often have the same vowel and consonant sounds, specifically at the end of the word.

Let's analyze each option given:

Brain: The word "brain" ends with the sound "ain," which is the same as "train." Therefore, "brain" rhymes with "train."

Stare: The word "stare" ends with the sound "are," which is different from the sound "ain" in "train." Hence, "stare" does not rhyme with "train."

Drain: The word "drain" ends with the sound "ain," just like "train." Therefore, "drain" rhymes with "train."

Crane: The word "crane" ends with the sound "ane," which is different from the sound "ain" in "train." Hence, "crane" does not rhyme with "train."

In conclusion, out of the given options, only "stare" does not rhyme with "train." The other options ("brain," "drain," and "crane") all have similar sounds at the end, making them rhyme with "train."

Why are the two children nobody’s friends?
  • a)
    Because they don’t like friends
  • b)
    Because they do not go to school
  • c)
    Because they do not share their things with anyone
  • d)
    None of the above

I will not go out today _________ I have to study for my test.
  • a)
    Because
  • b)
    Or
  • c)
    And
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aryan Joshi answered
Explanation:

The correct option is 'Because'. Let's understand why.

Cause and Effect Relationship:
The sentence talks about two events - going out and studying for the test. There is a cause and effect relationship between these two events. The cause is the need to study for the test, and the effect is the decision not to go out. The conjunction 'because' is used to show this relationship.

Conjunction 'Because':
The conjunction 'Because' is used to introduce a reason or cause. It is used to connect two clauses where one clause explains the reason for the other clause. In the given sentence, the second clause 'I have to study for my test' explains the reason for the first clause 'I will not go out today'. Hence, the correct option is 'Because'.

Other Options:
The conjunction 'Or' is used to indicate a choice between two options. It does not fit in the context of the given sentence.

The conjunction 'And' is used to join two similar or related ideas. It does not convey the cause and effect relationship between the two events in the given sentence.

Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - Because.

In the last stanza of the poem, the girl wanted to borrow things from others.
  • a)
    True
  • b)
    False
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:
In the last stanza of the poem "The girl wanted to borrow things from others" is not mentioned. The last stanza of the poem goes like this:
"They climbed and they climbed
And as they climbed higher,
The air became thinner,
The wind blew colder.
But still they climbed on,
Though their faces were blue,
For they wanted to see
What the top had in view."

Analysis:
The last stanza of the poem describes the climbers' determination to reach the top of the mountain despite facing difficulties. It emphasizes their perseverance and curiosity to see what awaits them at the summit. There is no mention of the girl wanting to borrow things from others in this stanza or throughout the poem.

Conclusion:
The statement that the girl wanted to borrow things from others in the last stanza of the poem is false. The last stanza focuses on the climbers' determination and curiosity rather than the girl's desire to borrow things.

Make word ending with - less e.g.
friend
  • a)
    Friendles
  • b)
    Friendless
  • c)
    Friendliless
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anushka Rane answered
Explanation:

Word ending with -less:
When a word ends with the suffix -less, it means "without" or "lacking" the quality or characteristic of the root word. For example, "friendless" means "without friends" or "lacking the presence of friends".

Options:
a) Friendles - This is not a valid word. "Friendles" does not exist in the English language.

b) Friendless - This is the correct answer. "Friendless" is a valid word that means "without friends".

c) Friendliless - This is not a valid word. "Friendliless" does not exist in the English language.

d) None of these - This option is incorrect. The correct answer is option 'B' - "Friendless".

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - "Friendless", as it is the only valid word ending with -less.
