SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 1

Directions: Decide which of the given words will most appropriately fill the blank in the sentence below.

Five passengers were __________ injured in the road accident.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 1

- An injury cannot be chronic. It is an illness that is chronic.
- Injury cannot be drastic as well. Only an effect or consequence can be drastic.
- Injury cannot be reckless, however, it can be caused by recklessness.
- An injury can only be "grievous" -- (of something bad) very severe or serious.
- Option 3 is correct.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 2

Directions: Select the pair of words that bears the same relation as between the pair in bold letters.

Incubator : Infant

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 2

- An incubator is a special machine that helps take care of premature babies by providing them with a warm and controlled environment, much like how a greenhouse provides a warm and controlled environment for delicate plants to grow.
- So, the relationship between "incubator" and "infant" is similar to the relationship between "greenhouse" and "plant."
- Just as an incubator nurtures premature babies, a greenhouse nurtures delicate plants.
- Therefore, option D is the correct pair because both involve a place or apparatus that supports the growth and development of something delicate.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 3

Directions: Choose an appropriate idiom/phrase to fill in the blank.

The deal ___________ at the last minute for reasons that were not clear.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 3

When we say a deal "falls through," it means that the deal doesn't happen as planned, often at the last moment, and for reasons that are unclear. It's like the deal was supposed to go forward, but something went wrong, and it ended up being cancelled or abandoned.
So, in this context, "fell through" is the correct phrase because it captures the idea that the deal didn't work out despite initial plans.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 4

Directions: Choose the best option to fill in the blank.

After years of research, a team of doctors and medical researchers ________ something mothers have been telling children for centuries; we should eat green vegetables and drink two glasses of milk everyday.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 4

In this sentence, the subject is "a team," which is a collective noun.
Collective nouns refer to groups of individuals but are treated as singular entities.
So, we use a singular verb form.
Since the action of discovering happened in the past and is completed, the correct option is "has finally discovered." This choice matches both the singular subject "team" and the past tense of the action.
Option D is incorrect because the action isn't ongoing or progressive.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 5

Directions: Identify the part of speech of the underlined word in the given sentence.

Translating Arabic literature is not easy.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 5

In this sentence, "translating" is the action being described - it's the process of converting Arabic literature into another language. Verbs are words that describe actions or states of being. In this case, "translating" indicates the action being performed, making it a verb. So, the correct answer is option A. It's important to recognize that verbs show what is happening in a sentence, and "translating" fits that role here.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 6

Directions: Choose the option which is not similar in meaning to the other options.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 6

"Ravish" typically means to fill someone with intense delight or joy, often in a romantic or passionate context.
On the other hand, "Extinguish," "Blow out," and "Put out" all refer to the act of extinguishing or quenching something, such as a fire or a flame.
So, while "Extinguish," "Blow out," and "Put out" are synonyms, "Ravish" is not similar in meaning to the others because it relates to pleasure or excitement rather than extinguishing something.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 7

What is the opposite of 'audacity'?

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 7

The opposite of "audacity" is "cowardice."
"Audacity" refers to boldness or daring, while "cowardice" refers to a lack of courage or bravery.
While "audacity" implies taking bold risks or displaying fearless behavior, "cowardice" suggests timidity or fearfulness.
Therefore, among the given options, "cowardice" is the opposite of "audacity" because it represents the absence of boldness or daring.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 8

Directions: Select the meaning of each underlined phrase/idiom.

Mala and Saya have embarked upon the dangerous expedition of their own accord.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 8

"Embarked upon" in this context means to start or undertake something, like a journey or an expedition.
"Of their own accord" means voluntarily or willingly, without being forced or persuaded by others.
So, when it says "Mala and Saya have embarked upon the dangerous expedition of their own accord," it means they have willingly chosen to start the dangerous journey on their own, without anyone else making them do it.
Therefore, the correct meaning of the underlined phrase is "willingly," which matches with option B.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 9

Directions: Choose an appropriate idiom/phrase to fill in the blank.

They held a press conference last week to ___________ support for their proposal.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 9

In this sentence, the phrase "drum up" is used. "Drum up" means to actively work to generate or gather support, interest, or enthusiasm for something, like a proposal or idea. So, when it says "They held a press conference last week to drum up support for their proposal," it means they organized the press conference to actively seek or generate support for their proposal. Therefore, the correct answer is option A, "drum up."

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 10

Directions: Choose an appropriate idiom/phrase to fill in the blank.

It is not uncommon for people to _________ alternative medicine when modern drugs don't work.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 10

In this sentence, the idiom "fall back on" is used. "Fall back on" means to resort to or rely on something when faced with difficulty or when other options fail.
So, when it says "It is not uncommon for people to fall back on alternative medicine when modern drugs don't work," it means that people often turn to alternative medicine as a backup plan when modern drugs fail to produce the desired results. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, "fall back on."

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 11

Directions: Complete the following sentence by selecting an appropriate word from the options given below.

The people were being told that a free market would ___________ the economy and help it to develop.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 11

In this sentence, the word "bolster" is used.
"Bolster" means to support or strengthen something. So, when it says "a free market would bolster the economy and help it to develop," it means that a free market system would support and strengthen the economy, aiding in its development. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, "bolster." This choice aligns with the idea of improving or enhancing the economy, making it stronger and more robust.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 12

Directions: Identify the part of speech of the underlined word in the given sentence.

Normally he is not a very fast runner, but he runs fast in major events.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 12

- In this sentence, "fast" describes how the action of running is performed, so it's modifying the verb "runs."
- Words that describe how, when, or where an action happens are called adverbs.
- Therefore, "fast" is an adverb in this context because it tells us how the action of running is done.
- As it's modifying a verb, the correct answer is option A, "Adverb."

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 13

Directions: Choose the option that is nearest in meaning to the given word.

Ghastly

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 13

"Ghastly" means extremely unpleasant, shocking, or frightening.
Among the given options, "frightful" is the closest in meaning to "ghastly."
"Frightful" also denotes something causing fear or terror, which aligns well with the intense unpleasantness or horror conveyed by "ghastly."
Therefore, option C, "frightful," is the best choice as it captures the essence of something being ghastly.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 14

Directions: The sentences given in the question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of the sentences from among the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

A. They ravaged in Neustria as they ravaged in England; and a large part of the northern coast, including the mouth of the Seine was given by Charles the Bald to Rolf or Rollo, one of their leaders, whose land came to be known as the Northman's land or Normandy.

B. He and his family became Counts (i.e. judges and protectors) of Paris and Dukes (or leaders) of the Franks.

C. What most checked the ravages of these pirates was the resistance of Paris, a town which commanded the road along the river Seine; and it was in defending the city of Paris from the Northmen, that a warrior named Robert the Strong gained the trust and affection of the inhabitants of the Neustrian kingdom.

D. Three generations of them were really great men — Robert the Strong, Odo and Hugh the White; and when the descendants of Charles the Great had died out, a Duke of the Franks, Hugh Capet, was in 987 crowned King of the Franks.

E. The great danger which this Neustrian kingdom had to meet came from the Northmen or as they were called in England, the Danes.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 14

The paragraph starts by introducing the threat posed by the Northmen or Danes (sentence E).
It then describes how the Northmen ravaged in Neustria, which is followed by the mention of a leader named Rollo receiving land in Normandy (sentences A and B).
The paragraph then shifts to describe the resistance against the Northmen, highlighting the role of a warrior named Robert the Strong (sentence C).
Finally, it concludes by mentioning the descendants of Robert the Strong and how Hugh Capet eventually became King of the Franks (sentence D).
Therefore, the most logical order of the sentences to construct a coherent paragraph is EACBD, which is option B.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 15

Directions: Select the meaning of the underlined phrase/idiom.

Kavita was always a queer fish and hardly had any friends in school.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 15

- In this context, "queer fish" is an idiomatic expression that means a strange or eccentric person.
- The sentence suggests that Kavita was unusual or peculiar in her behavior, which made it difficult for her to make friends in school.
- So, when it says "Kavita was always a queer fish and hardly had any friends in school," it means Kavita was perceived as odd or peculiar, and as a result, she didn't have many friends.
- Therefore, the correct meaning of the underlined phrase is "a strange person," which aligns with option B.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 18
The first element in each term is a number that moves 4 steps forward to obtain the corresponding element of the next term. But in place of 15, there should be 9 + 4 = 13.

The second element is a letter that moves 3 steps forward to obtain the corresponding element of the next term, i.e. C + 3 = F, F + 3 = I, I + 3 = L, L + 3 = O.

The third element is a letter that moves 1 step backward to obtain the corresponding element of the next term, i.e. V - 1 = U, U - 1 = T, T - 1 = S, S - 1 = R.

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 20

A clock is set right at 6 am. The clock gains 10 minutes in 24 hours. What will be the correct time when the clock indicates 11 am on the following day?

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 20
Total number of hours from 6 am on a day to 11 am on the following day is 29 hours.

Now, 24 hours 10 minutes of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock

24(10/60) hours of the given clock = 24 hours of the correct clock

∴ 145/6 hours of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock

∴ 29 hours of this clock = ((24 x 6)/145) × 29 hours of correct clock = 28 hours 48 min of correct clock

So, the correct time is 28 hours 48 min past 6 am, i.e. 48 min past 10.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 24
The numbers are assigned according to the English alphabet.

A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 ... Z = 26

Sum of the numbers assigned to the letters of RASICA = 18 + 1 + 19 + 9 + 3 + 1 = 51

Now, 5 + 1 = 6

Sum of the numbers assigned to the letters of DRINKS = 4 + 18 + 9 + 14 + 11 + 19 = 75

Similarly, 7 + 5 = 12

SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 25

Directions: Read the following short passage and choose the best answer to the question that follows the passage.

Most of the clothes on display on slender models tip-toeing on stilettos on ramps in fashion shows are not wearable. Still an entire industry works overtime meeting deadlines, spending enormously, and roping in big names from the film and the fashion industry who in turn fetch huge amounts of money.

It is a waste of time and money.

Which of the following arguments weakens the above statement the most?

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 3 (New Pattern) - Question 25
Option 3 is the correct answer as it mentions that fashion is not just about utility (value) but about enjoying life.

Given statements
S = R ≥ Q ...(i)
P < Q ...(ii)
After combining these statements, we get
S = R ≥ Q>P
I. S ≥ P = False
As, S ≥ Q > P
So, S > P

II. R > P = True
As, R ≥ Q > P
So, R > P
