Save

Direction: In the passage given below there are 5 words given and each of these words is represented by a letter. For each word four alternative words are given as options A, B, C and D. You have to find which word among the options best replaces the already given word. 

In the Open Budget Survey, which was conducted by International Budget Partnership (IBP), India has been placed at 53rd position among 117 nations in terms of budget transparency and accountability. With the score higher than the ____ A ____ average, our nation scored 49 out of 100 whereas New Zealand topped with a score of 87.
This survey was conducted to encourage public ____ B ____ to budget information and the ____ C ____ of explicable systems of budget. The areas where India lagged are ‘the Pre-Budget Statement’ and the non ____ D ____ of ‘Mid Year Review’ in FY 2018-19.
In order to ensure that the hard-earned public resources are used satisfactorily and meticulously, a high degree of ____ E ____ needs to be maintained with government finances.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (E)

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 1

Refer to:

In order to ensure that the hard earned public resources are used satisfactorily and meticulously, a high degree of ____ E ____ needs to be maintained with government finances.

It is quite clear from the sentence that a noun will be placed in the blank.

Thus, lucid (clear) and canny (Acute) being adjectives are eliminated.

Also, accelerate (to move more quickly) which is a verb is also grammatically unfit.

Now ambiguity (uncertainty) although being a noun totally contradicts the context. Whereas, transparency fits grammatically and contextually.

Option C is hence the correct answer.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (C)

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 2

Refer to:

‘the ____ C ____ of explicable systems of budget.’

We can clearly see that the blank will preferably be filled by a noun.

Therefore verbs like ‘validate’, ‘ratify’ (to confirm something) and ‘gratify’ (satisfy) will be eliminated.’

‘Adoption of explicable systems of budget’ perfectly explains the entire passage contextually.

Option A is hence the correct answer.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (A)

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 3

Refer to:

‘With the score higher than the ____ A ____ average, our nation scored 49 out of 100 whereas New Zealand topped with a score 87.’

By reading this sentence carefully, we can deduce that the survey included many countries worldwide and not just a particular region.

Therefore options like ‘partial’ and ‘regional’ are eliminated here as they contradict the statement.

‘additive’ is contextually unfit.

Now the phrase ‘global average’ is more relevant than ‘inclusive average’.

Option B is hence the correct answer.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 4

Refer to:

‘The areas where India lagged are ‘the Pre-Budget Statement’ and the non ____ D ____ of ‘Mid Year Review’ in FY 2018-19.’

‘Arrogate’ (to claim something) being a verb is grammatically incorrect. Clearly, ‘abandoning’ (leaving) and ‘regression’ (being back to formal state) contextually contradicts the idea of the statement.

Between the options ‘availability’ and ‘comprehension’ (understanding), ‘availability’ is a better choice.

Option B is hence the correct answer.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (B)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 5

Refer to:

‘This survey was conducted to encourage public ____ B ____ to budget information.’

‘Dissuasion’ (the action or process of trying to persuade someone not to take a part) and ‘liability’ being negative words cannot be placed in the blank.

Between ‘fortification’ (means to claim something), ‘assurance’ and ‘access’, ‘public assess’ fits in the most relevant manner.

Option D is hence the correct answer.

MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 6
Save

Direction: In the passage given below there are 5 words given in underlined and each of these words is represented by a letter. For each word four alternative words are given as options A, B, C and D. You have to find which word among the options best replaces the already given word. 

SCULPTURE is by tradition a public art, and after a period of alienation and private ownership and display, the issue of its significance and function in society has become (A) obnoxious again. Besides, the (B) devouring of empty space in urban households with the rapid growth of high-rise buildings has crucially driven sculptures out of the indoor (C) thwart. Even those works that are not intended for the outdoors provide a set of sculptural quality and look splendid in the open air and (D) among nature.

A grand display of public art helps create a community identity and appreciation for art among the Sydneysiders and (E) abide in children a heartening curiosity for art. Sculptures of such diverse kinds in such a scenic natural environment can communicate many things and generate thinking and imagination.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (E)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 6

Refer to: “A grand display of public art helps create a community identity and appreciation for art among the Sydneysiders and (E) abide in children a heartening curiosity for art. ”

Let’s have a look at the word which is given at position (E):

Abide (Verb) - means to accept or act in accordance with (a rule, decision, or recommendation). This does not match the requirement as the sentence talks about how a feeling can be established in children. Besides, the word is grammatically incorrect too because we need a singular form of the verb in this place. 

So, the required word must mean the same as 'establish a feeling'. Hence, it is eliminated.

Let’s consider all the words one-by-one and their meanings too:

Abets (Verb) - means encourage or assist (someone) to do something wrong, in particular to commit a crime. There is no mention of a negative thing in the passage. Hence, it is eliminated.

Kempt (Adjective)- means maintained in a neat and clean condition; well cared for. There is no mention of any such condition anywhere in the passage. Hence, it is eliminated.

Instils (Verb) - means gradually but firmly establish (an idea or attitude) in a person's mind. This is closest in meaning. The sentence talks about the curiosity for the art among children and something new can only be ‘established’ in them by invoking interests into it. Hence, it is the correct option.

Spruce (Noun) - means make someone or something smarter or tidier. This is inappropriate with respect to the context. Hence, it is eliminated.

So, option C is correct.

A grand display of public art helps create a community identity and appreciation for art among the Sydneysiders and (E) abide in children a heartening curiosity for art. Sculptures of such diverse kinds in such a scenic natural environment can communicate many things and generate thinking and imagination.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (C)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 7

Refer to:

“Besides, the devouring of empty space in urban households with the rapid growth of high-rise buildings has crucially driven sculptures out of the indoor (C) thwart.”

Let’s have a look at the word which is given at position (C):

Thwart (Verb) - means prevent (someone) from accomplishing something. This is unsuitable as the sentence talks about the indoor area of a building. So, the required word must mean the same as an area of house or building. Hence, it is eliminated.

Let’s consider all the words one-by-one and their meanings too:

Spike (Verb) - means impale on or pierce with a sharp point. This is inappropriate with respect to the context. Hence, it is eliminated.

Queer (Adjective) - means strange; odd. This does not match the requirement of the context. Hence, it is eliminated.

Premises (Noun) - means a house or building, together with its land and outbuildings, occupied by a business or considered in an official context. This is closest in meaning.

It has been clearly stated about the sculptures being driven out of indoor which emphasizes about an area is being considered. Hence, it is the correct option.

Scupper (Noun) - means prevent from working or succeeding. There is no such requirement as the context is not demanding it. Hence, it is also eliminated.

So, option D is correct.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (A)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 8

Refer to:

”SCULPTURE is by tradition a public art, and after a period of alienation and private ownership and display, the issue of its significance and function in society has become (A) obnoxious again.”

Let’s have a look at the word which is given at position (A):

Obnoxious (Adjective) - means extremely unpleasant. This does not match the requirement as the sentence talks about how due to some reasons the importance of sculpture has become relevant again. So, the word Obnoxious is not at all contextual with reference to the paragraph. Hence, it is eliminated.

Let’s consider all the words one-by-one and their meanings too:

Pertinent (Adjective) -means relevant or applicable to a particular matter. This is closest in meaning as the sentence talks about the art SCULPTURE with reference to the period of alienation it faced and later specifies how its significance has been returning again in the society. So, the required word must mean the same as relevant. Hence, it is the correct option.

(Kindly give space between two sentences.)

Plagued (Adjective) -means continually troubled or distressed about something. There is no mention of any distress in the passage. Hence, it is eliminated.

Pliable (Adjective) - means easily influenced. This is inappropriate as it doesn’t fit to the context of the sentence. Hence, it is eliminated.

Atrocious (Adjective) - means horrifyingly wicked. This is unsuitable as nothing is mentioned related to fear. Hence, it is eliminated too.

So, option A is correct.

Sculptures of such diverse kinds in such a scenic natural environment can communicate many things and generate thinking and imagination.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (d)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 9

Refer to: “Even those works that are not intended for the outdoors provide a set of sculptural quality and look splendid in the open air and (D) among nature. ”

Let’s have a look at the word which is given at position (D):

Among means situated more or less centrally in relation to (several other things). ‘Among’ is generally used when something is surrounded by more than two objects or people. Here, nature is considered in the sentence and we can’t take it as one or two in quantity, thus, ‘among’ should not be used in that place. Hence, it is eliminated.

Let’s consider all the words one-by-one and their meanings too:

Amidst means surrounded by; in the middle of. The sentence talks about how sculptures look beautiful even in the middle of nature. Hence, it is the correct option.

Through means moving in one side and out of the other side of (an opening, channel, or location). This is inappropriate. Hence, it is eliminated.

Between means at, into, or across the space separating (two objects or regions). Hence, it is eliminated.

Upto means as far as. Hence, it is eliminated.

So, option A is correct.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 10

Refer to: “Besides, the (B) devouring of empty space in urban households with the rapid growth of high-rise buildings has crucially driven sculptures out of the indoor thwart. ”

Let’s have a look at the word which is given at position (B):

Devouring (Verb) - means being totally absorbed by a powerful feeling. This is closest in meaning as the sentence talks about how people like the open spaces due to which the sculpture has been driven out. It also states about the rapid growth of high rise building which can be seen as a sign of negligence towards sculptures and its feelings. So, the required word must mean the same as having a particular feeling.

Hence, it is the correct option.

Let’s check the meanings of other words too:

Mobilizing (Verb) -means bringing (resources) into use for a particular purpose. There is no mention of resources and their usage. Hence, it is eliminated.

Please give space between two sentences. 

Abduction (Noun) - means the action of forcibly taking someone away against their will. There is no mention of such an action which is taken against anyone’s will. Hence, it is eliminated.

Badgering (Verb) - means repeatedly asking (someone) to do something; pestering. This is inappropriate to the context. Hence, it is eliminated.

Succumbing (Verb) - means failing to resist pressure, temptation, or some other negative force. This does not match the requirement. Hence, it is also eliminated.

So, option D is correct.

Automated manufacturing systems have played an _____ A _____ role in the recovery from the 2008 recession and continued to strengthen the American economy.

And technological advances have been with us since humans climbed down from the trees and began to live on the ground, millions of years ago. As one job is _____ E _____ by technology, another is created. The nature of labour changes, but the need for labour still exists in a different form.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (A)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 11

Refer to:

‘Automated manufacturing systems have played an _____ A _____ role in the recovery from the 2008 recession and continued to strengthen the American economy.’

‘Meagre’ (adjective) means ‘lacking in quality or quantity.’ It contradicts the idea of the passage. Thus, is an incorrect option.

‘Substantially’ and ‘Enormously’ are contextually correct but grammatically incorrect as they are adverbs whereas we need a noun or noun phrase right after the article ‘an’ in the sentence.

‘Appending’ (verb) means ‘adding or attaching’ which is a weak choice.

‘Outsized’ (adjective) means ‘great or exceptionally large’. This fits grammatically and contextually. 

Hence option C is the correct answer.

MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 12

Without _____ B _____ labour force including leadership and intelligent middle management no amount of foreign assistance or natural wealth can ensure successful development and _____ C _____ .
The nature of employment and labour in the US has changed _____ D _____ with technological resolution. And technological advances have been with us since humans climbed down from the trees and began to live on the ground, millions of years ago. As one job is _____ E _____ by technology, another is created. The nature of labour changes, but the need for labour still exists in a different form.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (C)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 12

Refer to:

‘or natural wealth can ensure successful development and _____ C _____ . ‘

The only option that suits contextually and grammatically both is ‘modernization’ as it is a noun that means ‘the process of adapting something to modern needs’

Looking at meaning of other words:

Contemporize (verb): it means ‘to make something modern.’ Contextually, this option is a good choice but grammatically incorrect.

Overhaul (verb): it means ‘to overtake someone or surpass.’ This option is irrelevant.

Regression (noun): it means ‘a return to a former or less developed state’. This contradicts the idea of the sentence.

Stagnation (noun): it means ‘the state of not moving.’ This option too contradicts the idea of the passage.

Hence option D is the correct answer.

As one job is _____ E _____ by technology, another is created. The nature of labour changes, but the need for labour still exists in a different form.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (E)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 13

Refer to:

‘As one job is _____ E _____ by technology, another is created. The nature of labour changes, but the need for labour still exists in a different form.’

It is clear from the statement that an antonym of ‘created’ will be relevant for the blank. After considering the options we can deduce that ‘eliminated’ (verb) fits contextually and grammatically.

‘Remove’ is grammatically incorrect as we need a past participle (V3) in place of the blank. 
 
'Eradicate' (verb) means 'to destroy completely, generally a meance or unethical or absurd ritual' and hence it does not fit contextually.
 
‘Plague’ (verb) means ‘to cause continual trouble or distress to.’ This option is totally out of context.

‘Give’ (verb) means ‘ito provide with’ and usage of its past paritciple is grammatically correct too but as we need an antonym of 'created' it doesn't serve the purpose as it is a synonym of 'created'.

Hence option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 14

Refer to:

‘. Without _____ B _____ labour force including leadership and intelligent middle management.’

After reading the above fragment we can deduce that ‘effective’ (adjective) fits here grammatically and contextually as it qualifies ‘labour force’. 

Looking at meaning of the other words:

Diversity (noun): it means ‘the state of being diverse.’ This option is grammatically unfit.

Tacitly (adverb): it means ‘in a way that is understood without being stated.’ This option is out of context and grammatically unfit as well.

Pragmatically (adverb): it means ‘in a practical way.’ This option can contextually be relevant but is grammatically unfit.

 ‘Artistic’ is not relevant as per the idea of the passage.

Option B is hence the correct answer.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (D)
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Cloze Test - 1 - Question 15

Refer to:

‘The nature of employment and labour in the US has changed _____ D _____ with technological resolution.’

The whole idea suggests that labour has evolved with technology. Thus, ‘Drastically’ (adverb) will be a correct choice as per context and grammar.

‘Globalized’ is incorrect grammatically.

‘Aiding’ means ‘to help’. Again, it is a wrong choice grammatically.

‘Adversely’ (adverb) means ‘in a way that prevents development.’ Grammatically , it is a correct option but will contradict the idea of the passage.

‘Obsolete’ (adjective) means ‘no longer used’. It is an incorrect option grammatically.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
