VITEEE English Test - 3 - JEE MCQ

The sentence describes how someone without conscience might misuse existentialism to rationalize harmful beliefs. The term "justifying" (providing reasons to make something appear acceptable) directly aligns with the context of using philosophy to validate self-serving but injurious beliefs.

Key Points:

• Rationalizing evil implies creating a rationale for harmful actions.

• Justifying fits the structure "as a means of..." to explain how existentialism is weaponized.

• Other options (thwarting, proving, promoting) lack the connotation of moral reasoning central to the sentence.

The correct answer is D: justifying.

The original phrase "ASKING HIM TO RUSH HIS VILLAGE" is grammatically flawed because "rush" requires a preposition (to) when indicating movement toward a destination. The correct phrasing is "rush to his village".

Analysis of Options:

• A: "rushing at his village" → Incorrect. "At" implies direction toward something, but "rushing at" suggests aggression, not travel.

• B: "asked him to rush his village" → Incorrect tense ("asked" clashes with "has been receiving") and lacks "to."

• C: "to have rush his village" → Grammatically nonsensical ("have rush" is unidiomatic).

• D: "rush to his village" → Correct. Adds the required preposition "to," ensuring clarity and grammatical accuracy.

Improved Sentence:
He has been receiving no other message than an urgent telegram asking him to rush to his village immediately.
D is the best alternative.

Darvesh was walking by a dry well on a dark night.

In this context, the phrase "happened to be" fits best because it suggests an unplanned or coincidental occurrence. Here’s a brief explanation:

• Context: The setting is important; it is a dark night, indicating possible danger or uncertainty.
• Phrase meaning: "Happened to be" implies that Darvesh was in that location by chance, which aligns with the unexpected nature of the situation.
• Alternative phrases: The other options do not convey the same sense of chance or serendipity.

This choice enhances the narrative by adding an element of unpredictability to Darvesh's experience.

The phrase "it is complete" suggests that the task has already been finished. This is a definitive statement indicating that no further work is required.

• The original statement, "I will tell you if and when it will be completed," indicates uncertainty about the completion timeline.
• By changing it to "it is complete," you provide clear information that the task is already done.
• This revision eliminates ambiguity and conveys confidence.

Thus, "it is complete" is the most effective alternative as it communicates finality and clarity.

The arguments presented against disclosing the facts were not persuasive. They lacked substance and credibility, failing to convince anyone of their validity. Here’s a breakdown of the terms:

• Convincing: This suggests the arguments could sway opinion, which is not the case here.
• Specious: Indicates arguments that seem plausible but are actually misleading.
• Spurious: Refers to false or deceitful arguments that do not hold true.
• Intemperate: Describes arguments that are excessive or lacking restraint.

The best choice is specious, as it accurately captures the essence of arguments that appear valid but are not. These arguments failed to impress anyone due to their misleading nature.
