Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 5

As citizens of India, we … … … both our democracy and secularism.        

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 5

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the given statement:
"As citizens of India, we … … … both our democracy and secularism."
From the statement, we can infer that the citizens of India play a role in supporting and upholding both democracy and secularism.
Now, let's evaluate the options:
A: promote - This means to actively encourage or support. It aligns with the idea that citizens actively contribute to the promotion of democracy and secularism.
B: cherish - This means to value or hold dear. While citizens may cherish democracy and secularism, it does not necessarily imply an active role in upholding them.
C: establish - This means to set up or create. Citizens do not establish democracy and secularism as they are already established principles in India.
D: elemental - This refers to something that is essential or fundamental. While democracy and secularism are essential in India, citizens do not play a direct role in them being elemental.
E: declare - This means to announce or proclaim. Citizens do not declare democracy and secularism as they are already declared principles in the Indian Constitution.
Based on the analysis, option C: establish is the correct answer as citizens of India play a role in upholding and supporting democracy and secularism, but they do not establish them.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 8

When he found the wallet his face glowed but soon it faded as the wallet was _____ .        

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 8

When he found the wallet, the person's face initially showed excitement and happiness, as indicated by the word "glowed." However, this feeling soon faded as the person discovered something about the wallet. Let's analyze the given options to determine what could have caused the person's disappointment:
A: Empty: This option seems plausible because an empty wallet would not contain any money or valuable items, causing the person's excitement to fade.
B: Vacant: "Vacant" means empty or unoccupied, similar to option A. It also implies that the wallet does not contain anything of value.
C: Recovered: The word "recovered" implies that the wallet was lost or missing and has been found again. This option does not fit the context of the sentence because the person's face glowing initially suggests they were happy to find the wallet, rather than relieved or surprised by its recovery.
D: Stolen: The word "stolen" means that something has been taken unlawfully. This option does not fit the context because the person found the wallet, indicating that it was not stolen.
E: Expensive: While finding an expensive wallet might cause excitement, the fading of the person's face suggests a negative revelation. Therefore, this option does not fit the context.
Based on the analysis, option A, empty, is the most suitable answer. The person's initial excitement faded because the wallet was found to be empty, disappointing them.

He fought against all odds, including the A) determined B) violently patriarchal mindset entrenched in Haryana’s culture, to fulfil the aspirations of his teenage daughter, a Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) topper in Haryana.

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 19

For blank I, A is not correct since the implication is that the said hospital gives service to 15 lakhs people residing in the village and by this logic caters is the right choice in this context.

Coming to Blank II, the context is that there are plastic cups all around the park in the premises of the Rewari Civil Hospital. Among the given words, B can actually mean that the park is full of plastic cups and other garbage.

For blank III, it is clear from the given context that the person was not earning enough and that is why he had to supplement his income with income from other sources. B cannot imply this sense whereas A is correct in order to imply the intended meaning.

Blank IV should be filled with A since we are talking about supporting the income of the person from the other sources and B will not fit in this context.

For blank V, we should go with B since it correctly explains the intended meaning of the author that the mindset revolves around patriarchy in the state of Haryana.  This makes the correct combination as BBAAB  

Hence, option B is the correct choice among the given options.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 21

Directions: In the following question a short passage is given with one of the lines in the passage missing and represented by a blank. Select the best out of the five answer choices given, to make the passage complete and coherent (coherent means logically complete and sound).
The health of discoms is a crucial issue. The much publicised UDAY programme called for a reduction of debts in the discom balance sheets. However, in many ways, this is no more than a transfer of debt from discoms to the state treasury, thereby resulting in a cosmetic reduction in the cost of power at the discom level. ___________ Similarly, in the case of regulated capacities, discoms pay pre-agreed fixed cost based on plant availability criteria even if they do not offtake the contracted capacity. This results in discoms far fewer units, pushing up the power purchase cost per unit. Hence, the average cost of supply for discoms is higher.

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 21

The preceding sentence talks about 'cosmetic reduction' which means the decrement in the cost of power at the discom level was just superficial. The same is further elaborated in sentence B, hence making it the correct answer. The given passage revolves around the cost of power at the disom level, therefore this option is most appropriate.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 22

The statements is also regarding the fact that it is expected to move in both the directions here. Among the given options, we can see that only C gives us the correct words for both the blanks in the sentence whereas the rest can be eliminated for being irrelevant in the context of the sentence.

This makes Option C the correct choice among the given options.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 23

BANAL

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 24

So, option B is the correct answer.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 25

Direction: In the paragraph below there are five sentences. In each sentence there are pairs of highlighted in underline words (A, B). Select the most appropriate words to form correct sentences. Then from the options given select the correct option. 

Within months of announcing A) gratuitous B) generous hikes in the minimum support price (MSP) for several crops in the kharif summer season, the NDA government on Wednesday approved an increase in the MSP offered for rabi crops. These increases A) mark B) maximize a sharp change from the cautious approach adopted by the Narendra Modi government in raising MSPs during the first half of its tenure. The latest hikes are generous, even if they are A) moderate B) tremendous compared to those fixed for the kharif crop. By way of A) comparison B) connotation, the highest increase over the previous kharif season’s MSP was 52.5% for the cereal ragi. Now the highest season-on-season A) height B) hike for the rabi crops is 20.6% for safflower. 

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 7 - Question 25

For Blank I, B should be the correct word since the passage denotes that the hike in MSP of the kharif crops was very good and the hike in the MSP of rabi crops is not that much as compared to the previous hike. A can be ruled out as the correct word.

Blank II can be filled with mark since we are talking about the significance of the approach taken by the Government regarding the increase in MSP of the crops. Maximize does not imply the intended meaning and can be ruled out.

Blank III can be filled with moderate since we are talking about the hike in the prices of rabi crops by the government in comparison to the same in case of kharif crops. The hike this time is not as much as it was the last time for the Kharif crops. Tremendous is not fit for the given context and can be eliminated.

Blank IV can be filled with comparison since we are talking about the comparison between the MSP Hikes of kharif crops and the rabi crops. Connotation does not even fit in the given context and hence can be eliminated.

Blank V can be filled with hike rather than height since the whole passage is regarding the hike in the prices of the Kharif Crops and the Rabi crops as announced by the government in the form of the MSP.

The correct combination is BAAAB  

This makes option B the correct choice among the given options.
