SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 1 - SSC CGL MCQ

 Given: sin θ + cosec θ = 2

⇒ sin θ +  = 2

⇒ sin² θ - 2sin θ + 1 = 0

⇒ (sin θ - 1)² = 0

⇒ sin θ - 1 = 0

⇒ sin θ = 1

∴ θ = 90° 

Now, sin⁴θ + cosec⁴θ = sin⁴ 90° + cosec⁴ 90° 

[∴ Sin 90° = 1 and cosec 90° =1]

= 1 + 1

= 2

Given: 

sin 43°cos 47° + cos 43°sin 47°

by using; Sin (A + B) = SinA CosB + CosA SinB

⇒ sin 43°cos 47° + cos 43°sin 47° = sin (43° + 47°)

= sin 90° 

= 1

∴ sin 43°cos 47° + cos 43°sin 47° = 1

Given:

and

Formula used:

Calculation:

Now,

Now substituting the values,

The required answer is 72.

As ∠B + ∠D = 180° 
(Since, the sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°)
and ∠A + ∠C = 180° 
So, x + 10 + 5y + 5 = 180° 
or, x + 5y = 165°    ....(i) 
And 2x + 4 + 4y – 4 = 180° 
or, 2x + 4y = 180°      ....(ii) 
Solving (i) and (ii), we get 
x = 40° and y = 25° 
Therefore, x + y = 40° + 25° = 65°

The UNDP report is not for a specific country, but for all the countries in the world. Therefore, we can derive that Gender discrimination is not limited to India itself. So, the Inference I follows.

The report also mentions that 90% of the people have biased views against women, and in these 90% of all people, even women are included. Therefore, we can derive the inference that women also hold some sort of bias against women. So, Inference II follows as well.

The least possible Venn diagram is:        

i. Some C's are B. → True (As, all A's are B and some A's are C → Some C's are B)

ii. Some E's are A. → False (As, there is no definite relation between E and A. Hence, false)

So, only conclusion I follows.

There are 18 circles required.

Given,

We get,

Therefore, the answer is LOMS.

According to the passage,

According to the passage, “Russia and China have opposed the sanctions, and are likely to discuss this at the upcoming SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”

It is clear from the above lines that Russia and China have decided to support Iran on the issue since they are not with the USA regarding this. The Presidents of both the countries are going to meet India PM Narendra Modi also on the sidelines of the SCO Summit so that he can also be convinced accordingly.

Among the given options, if we need to find out the correct pick, our answer is Option E since it correctly points out the fact Russia and China are against any kind of sanction on Iran by the USA. Other options can be eliminated from consideration since they do not follow from the passage.

According to grammar, 'on' is a preposition, and after the preposition, we need to write a prepositional object and it can be a noun/pronoun/gerund.

• Also, remember that the prepositional object is written just after the preposition.
• In the options given, 'speaking' is the only gerund that is the correct answer.

So the correct sentence is- He went on speaking foolishly. 

Remonstrate: To make a forcefully reproachful protest; to angrily reject.

Brace: Prepare to accept something difficult or unpleasant.

Expostulate: Express strong disapproval or disagreement.

Downcast: To feel and be in low spirits.

Ecstatic: Feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness.

The antonym of Remonstrate is Brace.

In the given options the correct option to be filled in the blank is Reached.

The sentence has two clauses the subordinate clause and the main clause. In the given sentence, the main clause is mentioned in the past perfect tense hence, we need to use the past tense in the subordinate clause as the action of the main clause has happened first. 

Let's see an example-

•  As soon as I reached the station the train had left. (In the given sentence, the subordinate clause starts with "as soon as" and the main clause with "the station")

Indirect speech: Rashi said that she failed the exam whereas her friend got a good percentage.

Steps to change the sentence from direct to indirect speech:

• The reporting verb 'said' will remain the same as no object is mentioned after it.
• Connectors 'that' is used in place of comma and inverted commas.
• The personal pronouns will be changed according to the subject and object of the reporting verb.
• Here the 1 st person 'I' will convert into the 3rd person 'He' as per the rules.
• Whereas 'my' will be converted into 'her' in the reported speech.
• If two simultaneous actions are used in the past indefinite tense, there will be no change in the tense of reported speech.
• At last line up the remaining part.

Correct sentence: He wrote a lot of letters yesterday.

In the sentence, it is clearly mentioned that the action had took place 'yesterday'. So, 'simple past tense' should be used here and 'verb' should be chosen. Therefore, 'wrote' is the appropriate word.

Let's analyze the sentence step by step to identify any errors in the underlined parts:

(a) "To be able to manage one's"

This part is grammatically correct. The phrase "to be able to manage one's" is a proper infinitive construction, and "one's" is appropriately used as a possessive form to refer to an individual in a general sense.

(b) "anger is a reflection of an individual's"

This part is also correct. "Anger" is the object being managed, and "is a reflection of an individual's" is a well-formed clause. The use of "an individual's" aligns with the general context introduced by "one's" in part (a).

(c) "psychological maturity."

This part is grammatically correct. "Psychological maturity" is a clear and appropriate noun phrase that completes the sentence meaningfully.

(d) "No error"

Since there are no errors in parts (a), (b), or (c), this option applies.

Conclusion

The sentence is grammatically correct, and there is no error in any of the underlined parts.

Correct Answer: The mother ordered her son to remain stationary while she ran to get milk.

Stationary means- not moving or not changing

Generally, the '-ing' form is used after a preposition like in, under, etc except for 'to - preposition'.

We know that preposition always takes the objective case after it. In the sentence 'the body' is the object and 'preventing' is the present participle that is qualifying the noun 'the body'.

Thus, the complete sentence is- The new vaccine Covaxin will help in preventing the body against the covid-19 virus.

Idol worship was practiced in this period' is correct regarding the nature of the religion of the Later Vedic period.

In the Later Vedic period, the two outstanding Rig Vedic Gods, Indra and Agni, lost their former importance. On the other hand, Prajapati, the creator, came to occupy the supreme position in the later Vedic pantheon. Some of the other minor Gods of the Rig Vedic period also came to the forefront Rudra, the god of animals, became important in later Vedic times and Vishnu came to be conceived as the preserver and protector of the people who now led a settled life instead of a semi-nomadic life as they did in Rig Vedic times. Therefore option (A) is incorrect.

In addition, some symbolic objects began to be worshipped, and we notice signs of idolatry in later Vedic times. Therefore, option(B) is correct.

As society became divided into social classes such as Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, vaishyas and Shudras, some of the social orders came to have their own deities. Pushan, who was supposed to look after cattle, came to be regarded as the God of the Shudras. Therefore, option (C) is incorrect.

People worshipped Gods for the same material reasons in this period as they did in earlier times. However, the mode of worship changed considerably. Prayers continued to be recited, but they ceased to be the dominant mode of placating the gods. Sacrifices became far more important, and they assumed both public and domestic character. Therefore, option (D) is incorrect.
