SSC MTS Practice Test -8 - SSC MTS / SSC GD MCQ

'There' means 'that place'. For example, 'Do you hear that dog barking over there?'. 'Their' is a word which is used to indicate a thing which belongs to 'them'. For example, 'Their cars were parked on the street while they were having their driveway repaved.' Therefore, instead of the word 'there' in the (3) part of the statement, the word 'their' should be used.

The word 'our' is used to indicate something that belongs to the speaker and maybe one or more people. For example, 'Our school holiday is two weeks long'. However, the word 'are' is a verb which is usually used with plural subjects. For example, 'The cats are eating all of their food'. Therefore, instead of the word 'our' in the (3) part of the statement, the word 'are' should be used.

The preposition ‘on’ disturbs the grammatical arrangement of the sentence, as the phrase ‘inferior to Rama on intelligence’ does not convey any meaning. The preposition ‘to’ is used to express direction towards something or someone, which does not fit the context. Out of the given options, ‘for intelligence’ do not convey any meaning, making ‘in intelligence’ as the correct answer, as it fits the sentence correctly from the grammatical as well as the meaning standpoint. 

The word ‘thought’ disturbs the grammatical arrangement of the sentence, as the phrase ‘pulled thought the examination’ does not convey any meaning. The word ‘though’ is used for expressions like ‘despite the fact’, or ‘although’, which does not fit the context. The word ‘throw’ does not convey any meaning, making ‘through’ as the correct answer, as it fits the sentence correctly from the grammatical as well as the meaning standpoint. 

The phrase ‘put on’ means to ‘wear a piece of clothing or jewellery’. Therefore, it gets rejected as it does not fit the context. The words 'among' and ‘with’ cannot be used as it would be grammatically incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is ‘up’.

The word 'have' is used along with pronouns like 'I', 'you', 'we' and 'they'. The word 'having' is just another form of the word 'have'. Therefore, both of them get omitted as they do not fit here grammatically. The word 'had' cannot be used since it is used to indicate the past tense but the sentence provided to us is in the present tense. Therefore, the correct answer is 'has'.

‘Desirous’ refers to a person who is characterised by desire. Out of the given options, ‘Faithful’ refers to a person who is loyal, ‘Beautiful’ refers to a thing or person which is good to look at and 'Helpful' refers to a person who is very giving or is always ready to help. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Wishful' as it carries the same meaning as 'Desirous'.

‘Generosity’ refers to the virtue of being kind. ‘Meanness’ refers to the lack of generosity. These are exact opposites. ‘Liberality’ is ‘to be open to new ideas or other people's point of view’. ‘Extinguish’ means 'cease to burn' and ‘Ambush’ means 'surprise attack'.

The phrase 'is coming for dinner' is grammatically incorrect.

If replaced with 'are coming for dinner' it would make the meaning of the sentence more appropriate, thus, making option 3 as the correct answer.

'Come up with' means thinking of a solution, excuse, etc.
Thus, no improvement is needed making option 4 as the correct answer.

For example, The weakness of the book is that it sits on the fence on important issues.

'Playwright' is a person who writes plays.
The appropriate spelling of the same is in option 1.
For example, A later playwright, James Hurdis, made More's career the subject of a play in 1792.

R is the second part of the sentence as it continues to tell us what is reported by publishing papers by the journal.

Q is the third part of the sentence as it tells what is the aim of publishing the papers.

P is the fourth part of the sentence as it discusses the contribution of the international journal apart from addressing significant environmental issues and problems.

Thus, making the order of the rearranged sentences as RQP making option 3 as the correct answer.

'Conscience' means a person's moral sense of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one's behaviour.

P is the second part of the sentence as it continues to tell us what is considered what.

Q is the third part of the sentence as it tells what is Rajpath.

P is the fourth part of the sentence as it talks about when the annual Republic parade usually occurs. 

Thus, making the order of the rearranged sentences as PQR making option 1 as the correct answer.

Since present perfect tense has been used in the active voice  ⇒ has/have been will be used in the passive voice. Option 2) is the most appropriate choice.

It is clear from the continuous form of the sentence that being will be used. He/she always goes with was, not were. Hence, Option 3) is the correct answer.

The correct form of tense to be used here is simple present as it is a habitual action . The complete sentence becomes :
Sumi said that she loves travelling alone.
As this is considered as the habitual activity so we do not have to change love into loved.
Option 2 is the correct answer.

The sentence is in indirect speech. The pronouns and the tense need to be changed accordingly. The words of the speaker should be mentioned in inverted commas. The word should be 'will' instead of 'would' in direct speech. Thus option 2 is the correct answer.

The sentence gives a tone of change or a difference in the characteristics of functional literacy in various cultures. Thus the word 'vary' which means 'differ or alter' fits here the best. The word 'change' is less appropriate than option 3. The word 'dominate' means 'to have the maximum influence' and does not fit here. The word 'eliminates' means 'removes' and fails to convey any meaning here.

The correct form of the verb here should be 'require' as the tense here must be simple present. The whole sentence is in simple present tense thus option 1 and 3 are rejected. The subject here is plural which is 'some cultures' so the verb must be plural too, agreeing with the subject. Thus option 2 is the correct answer.

The correct form of the verb here must be transitive form 'to make' as the preposition 'to' is already present before the blank. The verb in the participle form would be incorrect so option 1 is incorrect. Option 2 cannot fit as well. The verb in past perfect is incorrect too. Thus 3 is eliminated. Option 4 is the correct answer.

The preposition here must refer to the location of a place thus 'in' is the correct preposition. 'In' is used to refer to a location or a place. 'Of' is used to indicate a reference or connection to something which cannot fit here. 'Within' means 'inside something' or 'in a particular time period'. 'At' is used to refer to a smaller place and is rejected. Thus 3 is the correct answer.

Here, all the symbols are logo of the respective Organizations except the image given below.

The above image is the logo of World Health Organization not BRICS.
Hence, the above image is different among the given alternatives.

The logic here is as follows,
9 + 2 = O; O + 2 = I; I + 2 = F
W + 4 = O; O + 4 = F; F + 4 = D
A – 5 = D; D – 5 = 5; 5 – 5 = 9
Thus, the missing term in the series is IF5.

Set 1:
2 × 7 = 14
2 × 8 = 16

Set 2:
6 × 5 = 30
6 × 6 = 36

Set 3:
5 × 7 = 35
5 × 8 = 40

Set 4:
3 × 7 = 21
3 × 8 = 24

So in each set of numbers, the first number is multiplied by 7 and 8 to get second and third numbers respectively. But in set 2 first number is multiplied by 5 and 6 to get second and third number respectively.
Thus, set 2 does not belongs to the group.

Members: P, Q, T, J and V.
Let us first decode the given symbols and then draw a family tree.

Expression: P * Q $ T % J & V means that,

Hence, J is the niece of P.

The logic followed here is,

Hence, “YMR” is the correct answer.
