Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 3

1. He took a lot of time to make any decision.

Why did Niranjan decide to drink adulterated ghee for his punishment?

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 5
Kindly refer to the 3rd and 4th sentences of the 2nd paragraph.
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 6

Direction: In each of the questions, there are 4 sentences or parts of sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence/s or part/s that is/are incorrect in terms of grammar and usage and choose the answer accordingly.
I. A week ago newspapers reported that a handful of the big Western oil companies
II. were close to unveiling contracts for work in Iraq, 
III. whose underexploited oil reserves are probably second
IV. only to Saudi Arabia.

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 6
There is an error of comparison in fragment IV. In the sentence underexploited oil reserves of Iraq must be compared to those of Saudi Arabia but ‘those of’ is missing in the fragment.
Option C is hence the correct answer.
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 7

Direction: In each of the questions, there are 4 sentences or parts of sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence/s or part/s that is/are incorrect in terms of grammar and usage and choose the answer accordingly.
I. The translation isn’t great and some of the local officials 
II. have a tendency to go off at tangents, but it’s
III. have found to gather opinion, and the Afghans have learnt
IV. to be forthright with the straight-talking Americans. 

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 7
The idiom ‘go off on a tangent’ means to suddenly start talking about a different subject. 
Ex. We were talking about property prices and you went off on a tangent. 
But, in fragment II the preposition ‘on’ is missing in the idiom – which is an error.  
The correct sentence would therefore be, “The translation isn’t great and some of the local officials  have a tendency to go off on a tangents, but it’s have found to gather opinion, and the Afghans have learnt  to be forthright with the straight-talking Americans.” 
Option B is hence the correct answer.
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 8

Direction: In each of the questions, there are 4 sentences or parts of sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence/s or part/s that is/are incorrect in terms of grammar and usage and choose the answer accordingly.
I. So once an economy is actually in recession,
II. the authorities can, in principle, move the economy
III. out of slump – assuming hypothetically
IV. that they know how to – by a temporary stimuli.  

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 8
Fragment I is incorrect as the usage of the word ‘so’ is redundant and inappropriate in the context.  
Fragment III is also erroneous because the use of ‘assuming hypothetically’ makes it redundant. Once can either assume or hypothesize, but ‘assuming hypothetically’ is absurd.  
Fragment IV is incorrect too as the noun ‘stimuli’ is used with the article ‘a’. It must therefore be replaced by its singular form ‘stimulus’ to make it grammatically correct.  
The correct sentence would therefore be, “Once an economy is actually in recession, the authorities can, in principle, move the economy  out of slump – assuming that they kow how to – by a temporary stimulus.” 
Option D is hence the correct answer.
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 9

Direction: In each of the questions, there are 4 sentences or parts of sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence/s or part/s that is/are incorrect in terms of grammar and usage and choose the answer accordingly.
I. The idea proposed has been put into practice by everyone
II. from eight year old children who recycle, and major companies
III. that desperately trying to perfect
IV. alternative fuels for human use.

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 9
The fragment II is erroneous as a range should be expressed from x to y, not from y to x. The word “And” right before ‘major companies’ in the fragment II must therefore be replaced by the preposition “to” to make it grammatically correct.
Further, fragment III also has a tense error as it lacks the helping verb “are”.
The correct sentence would therefore be, “The idea proposed has been put into practice by everyone from eight year old children who recycle, and major companies that desperately trying to perfect alternative fuels for human use.”
Option D is hence the correct answer.
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 10

Direction: In each of the questions, there are 4 sentences or parts of sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence/s or part/s that is/are incorrect in terms of grammar and usage and choose the answer accordingly.
I. If the energy legislation had
II. a chance of passing, it would have
III. stirred tens of billions of dollars of energy investment
IV. toward efficiency projects, renewable resources such as solar, wind and nuclear power.  

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 10
The sentence has tense error in fragment I. The sentence is clearly the type 3 conditional one and therefore the ‘If’ clause must be in perfect tense (had + past participle of the verb).  
All other fragments are absolutely correct. 
The correct sentence would therefore be, “If the energy legislation had had a chance of passing, it would have stirred tens of billions of dollars of energy investment toward efficiency projects, renewable resources such as solar, wind and nuclear power.” 
Option A is hence the correct answer.
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 11
Which of the following would be the THIRD sentence after rearrangement?
Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 11

The sentence (A) is the most suitable pick for the 3rd statement as in it the writer describes what the study (that's been mentioned in the 2nd statement) says about the organized retail stores. 

Hint : Key-word/phrase in the 2nd statement - a study
          Linking word/phrase in the 3rd statement - According to 'it' (The pronoun 'it' is being used for the study that' been referred to in the 2nd statement. 
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 12
Which of the following would be the FOURTH sentence after rearrangement?
Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 12

The sentence (D) would be the most appropriate choice for the 4th statement as in it the writer gives a contradiction to what he said in the 3rd statement. 

Hint : Key-word/phrase in the 3rd statement - room for expansion
          Linking word/phrase in the 4th statement - In spite of this potential for expansion
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 13

Fill in the blank (1) from suitable given options:

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 13
Career (noun): the job or series of jobs that you do during your working life
Labour (noun): work, especially physical work.
Livelihood (noun): a means of securing the necessities of life.
Business (noun): commercial activity.
Profession (noun): a paid occupation.
As the sentence mentions that the farmer was sloughing the field to earn something, the correct word here will be ‘livelihood’. ‘Earning livelihood’ means to ‘earn money so that you can support your existence’. All other words do not fit grammatically into the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.  
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 14

Fill in the blank (2) from suitable given options:

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 14
Express (verb): convey a thought or feeling in words or by gestures and conduct.
Hear (verb): perceive with the ear the sound made by someone or something.
Discover (verb): find unexpectedly or during a search.
Utter (verb): say something aloud.
Listen (verb): to hear something with thoughtful attention.
The sentence implies that some sound was coming from the nearby pond for help and it got into the farmer’s ears. ‘Heard’ will be the most appropriate word here. Do not get confused between ‘listen’ and ‘hear’. We use ‘hear’ for sounds that come to our ears, without us necessarily trying to hear them while ‘listen’ is used to describe paying attention to sounds that are going on.
Hence, the correct answer is option B. 
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 15

Fill in the blank (3) from suitable given options:

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 15
Struggle (verb):  make forceful or violent efforts to get free of restraint or constriction.
Attempt (verb): make an effort to achieve or complete something difficult.
Seek (verb): attempt to find something.
Rush (verb): move with urgent haste.
Try (verb): make an attempt or effort to do something.
If we look at the sentence, it uses ‘to’ after the blank which indicates that the verb in the blank must contain ‘-ing’. This eliminates options B, C and E. Now, the earlier sentences mention that the boy was crying for help so he must be in difficulty, this makes ‘struggling’ the most appropriate word for the blank.
Hence, the correct answer is option A. 
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 16

Fill in the blank (4) from suitable given options:

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 16
Appear (verb): come into sight
Pull up (verb): come to a halt.
Enter (verb): come or go into a place.
Arrive (verb): reach a place at the end of a journey or a stage in a journey.
Approach (verb): come close to
The sentence mentions about a carriage and also mentions ‘up’ just after the blank. If we put ‘pulled’ in the blank then it will form a phrase ‘pulled up’ which is explained above. The word is apt for the blank as no other word is used with ‘up’ other than ‘pull’. 
Hence, the correct answer is option B.  
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 17

Fill in the blank (5) from suitable given options:

Detailed Solution for English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 17
Expensive (adjective): costing a lot of money.
Ordinary (adjective): with no special or distinctive features.
Well (adverb): in a good or satisfactory way.
Elegantly (adverb): in a graceful and stylish manner.
Impressive (adjective): evoking admiration through size, quality, or skill; grand, imposing, or awesome.
The sentence uses ‘an’ just before the blank which indicates that the word must begin with a vowel and ‘well’ is eliminated. Now, the blank is used to describe the manner in which the man was dressed so it must be an adverb. Out of all the words remaining only ‘elegantly’ is an adverb.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
English Language- 6 (January 18) - Question 18

Directions: In questions below, there are two statements, with each statement consisting of two blanks. You have to choose the option which provides the correct set of words that fits both the blanks in both the statements appropriately and in the same order making them meaningful and grammatically correct.

Option A: Both blanks do not make sense in any of the sentences.

Option C: Inactive is a good fit in the first sentence but not in the second sentence. Headlong does not fit in anywhere.
