SSC MTS Practice Test -10 - SSC MTS / SSC GD MCQ

The underlined part of the sentence is correct. It doesn't need any correction. So option 4 is correct.

Example sentence:

1. Positive: Polite

Eg: They thought she was wrong but were too polite to say so.

2. Comparative: Politer

Eg: Ramesh was politer than most of the other students in Praveen Sir's class.

3. Superlative: Politest

Eg: Suresh is the politest student to have taken my course in linguistics.

Fond is an adjective which means ''having an affection or liking for.'' So fond mother basically means ''loving mother.'' But we must use the correct phrase ''at heart.'' It can't be 'with heart or on heart or in heart.'' So option 1 is correct.  .

The sentence describes what empathy is. It can be concluded that this emotional response is a reaction to another person's feelings. 

Hence the word to be used in the blank is "Corresponds: have a close similarity; match or agree almost exactly."

The meanings of the rest of the words are:

Reprimands: addresses a reprimand to.

Indicts: formally accuses of or charges with a crime.

Cites: mention as an example.

Hence the correct answer is option 4.

The sentence says that teens have the ability to speculate and reason about hypothetical situations and this can lead them to question figures that seem to have power over them. 

Hence the word to be used in the blank is "Strenuously: with great effort and determination."

The meanings of the rest of the words are:
Invalid: a person made weak or disabled by illness or injury.
Brisk: in an active, quick, or energetic way.
Awkwardly: in an ungainly manner; not smoothly or gracefully.
Hence the correct answer is option 1.

‘Subscription’ means ‘the act of participating in something by making advance payment’. The correct preposition to be used after the word is ‘to’ when a relation is being indicated with the object/program of subscription (which is the streaming service here).

So, the correct sentence would be: A subscription to this streaming service will cost you only a few bucks per month.

Correct answer: Option 1.

To convert direct speech to indirect speech, we need to follow some rules:
1. Present continuous (am having) to past continuous (was having).
2. 'my' is changed to 'his'.

The correct answer is option 3.

The sentence is incorrect because the adverb of the sentence does not agree with the verb and the meaning of the sentence.

Option 1 is incorrect because the article ‘a’ is wrong, since the sentence is about a specific victim and not just any victim; ‘the’ is the correct article to be used. ‘A’ is an indefinite article meaning it does not stand for anything specific while ‘the’ is a definite article meaning something in particular, eg, ‘I saw a red car parked in front of the house, means any red car while use of ‘the’ would mean a particular car eg, ‘The red car by the gate is mine.’

Option 2 is incorrect because the adverb ‘some’ does not agree with the adverb that follows it. Though ‘any’ and ‘some’ both have the same meaning as adverbs, they can’t be used in place of each other because the meaning of the sentence would then be altered.

The accurate answer is Option 3 because it uses the adverbs ‘any’ and ‘further’ correctly. ‘Farther’ and ‘further’ both mean distance from something, while ‘farther’ means geographical distance, ‘further’ means distance or space metaphorically, progress. Example for their usage: ‘I live farther from his place’; ‘I do not have any further information’.

Correct sentence:
‘The attorney did not want to question the victim any further.’

Bark up the wrong tree means ''Accuse or pursue the wrong person.'' So option 1 is correct. 

Example: His attorney suggested that the investigators might be barking up the wrong tree.

When the subject performs the action – it is Active Voice.

When the subject is being acted upon by the verb – it is Passive Voice.

The meaning conveyed by the sentence in both voices will remain the same. Only the sequence of the subject and the object (or the action) changes.

In Active voice – Subject + verb + object is the sequence.

In Passive voice – Object + verb + Subject is the sequence.

(Subject is someone that works on the object)

In the given sentence, the girl is the subject because she is doing an action. She is ascending. The action is done on the object which is the Everest here. So, the sentence in the question is in its Active Voice.

To change it into passive voice, the sentence should begin with the object ‘The Everest’.

Verbs are also changed. Some conversions are :

Eats à is eaten
Is cleaning à is being cleaned
Will clean à will be cleaned
Destroyed à was destroyed

(etc.)

Following these thumb rules, the same sentence in the passive voice is
The Everest is being ascended by the girl.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Let's see the meaning of each word:

Agnostic ⇒ One who is not sure about God’s existence.

Arsonist ⇒ A person who deliberately sets fire to a building.

Amateur​ ⇒ One who does a thing for pleasure and not as a profession.

Verbatim ⇒ In exactly the same words as were used originally.

Thus option 4 is the correct answer.

The correct word here is ''Parricide.'' It means ''The murder of parents or near relative.'' Thus option 1 is the correct answer.

Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group.

Uxoricide: the killing of one's wife.
Regicide: the action of killing a king.

Option1, the preposition 'In' cannot be used here because 'as in ' means 'for example' which is not relevant to this sentence.

Option 2 'On' cannot be used here because it is not making any sense.

Option 4 'about' is similarly redundant.

Option 3 'with' is the correct option because 'as with' means 'like' and it is the best fit.

Hence option 3 is the correct answer.

The way of achieving something is mentioned in this sentence. 

Option 1 'with' does not fit here.

Option 2 'For' cannot be used here because the purpose of some action is not mentioned in this sentence.

Option 3 'to' cannot be the answer. 'To review' would have been correct.

Option 4 'By' is the best fit. Hence option 4 is the answer.

In the second part of the sentence, the word ‘so’ should be added before the word ‘as’. ‘So as to’ means ‘in order to’ and ‘as to’ means ‘about’ which is incorrect for this sentence.
Hence, the erroneous part is the second part. Hence option 2 is the answer.

The incorrect word here is 'Hurrykane.' There is no such word. The correct word is 'Hurricane.' It means 'a storm with a violent wind, in particular, a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.' 

Typhoon: a tropical storm in the region of the Indian or western Pacific oceans.

Plunge: jump or dive quickly and energetically.

Spirited: full of energy, enthusiasm, and determination.

The incorrect word here is 'aparel.' The correct spelling is 'apparel.' It means' clothing.

Hiatus: a pause or break in continuity in a sequence or activity.

Oasis: a fertile spot in a desert, where water is found.

Gaudy:  extravagantly bright or showy, typically so as to be tasteless.

The incorrect word is 'Ecumennical.' The correct spelling should be 'ecumenical.' It means 'representing a number of different Christian Churches.' 

Ubiquitous: present, appearing, or found everywhere.

Lineage: direct descent from an ancestor; ancestry or pedigree.

Theorize: form a theory or theories about something.

Buckle along with the words like 'clamp, clasp or pin' refers to 'fasten, strap or tie.' So the opposite word must be 'discharge' because, it means 'tell (someone) officially that they can or must leave, in particular. '   

Narcissism, vanity, conceit all mean 'excessive interest in or admiration of oneself and one's physical appearance.' So the opposite word is 'humility' which means 'the quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance.' 

The  'advocate' is not only related to law but it also means to support someone or to be on someone's side in simple terms. So option 1 is correct.

Pronounce: make the sound of (a word or part of a word) in the correct or a particular way.

Determine: cause (something) to occur in a particular way or to have a particular nature.

Deny: a state that one refuses to admit the truth or existence of.

provocatively: in a way that causes anger or another strong reaction, especially deliberately

readily: without hesitation or reluctance; willingly.
rightly: correctly.

The correct word here is 'manufactures.' We have already been told in the passage that the company deals in cables and pieces of equipment in the very first line. So this is the perfect word. It means 'make (something) on a large scale using machinery.' The other words related to some specific type of activity.  

creates: bring (something) into existence.
carves: cut (a hard material) in order to produce an object, design, or inscription.

liability: the state of being legally responsible for something.
expense: the cost incurred in or required for something.
income: money received, especially on a regular basis, for work or through investments.
