Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 3

His knowledge of the subject was excellent but his classroom performance was ______.

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 3

In the sentence given above, we have two independent clauses which are joint by coordinating conjunction 'but'. The word 'but' is one of the seven coordinating conjunctions in English (the others are and, or, so, for, nor, and yet). It’s used to connect two statements that contrast or contradict each other in some way. Now the first part of the sentence is positive in nature so the second part must contradict this, so the only contradicting option we have is 'extremely poor'.

Let's see some examples in order to develop more clarity:

  • learning Mathematics is difficult but fun!
  • She is the smartest girl in the class but I don't like her.

Complete Sentence: His knowledge of the subject was excellent but his classroom performance was extremely poor.

Effect

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 25

In usage (d), the word 'baggage and personal effects' refers to 'belongings that are personal to a person'; this best matches with the phrase 1.

The only option which has these pairs is option 2. So, it is the correct answer.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 26

Directions: In the following passage, the opening statement has been deleted. From among the statements given below, choose the statement that should precede the passage.
It was a complex legislation, with different valuation norms and a rate as high as 85%, all of which resulted in endless litigation. Collections were also poor, fetching a mere Rs 20 crore (0.4% of total direct tax collections) in FY 1984-85. On similar grounds, wealth tax was abolished by Jaitley from fiscal 2015-16. 'Should a tax, which leads to a high cost of collection and a low yield, be continued or should it be replaced with a low cost and higher yield tax?' Jaitley had asked in his Budget speech.

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 26

The passage is about a legislation which was not effective and resulted in low yield. The words 'on similar grounds ... was abolished' indicate that this legislation was also abolished. So, we need an option which mentions a legislation and its abolishment. This is found only in option E.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 28

Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows.
Only the most naive scientist believes that the perfect model is the one that perfectly represents reality. Such a model would have the same drawbacks as a map as large and detailed as the city it represents, a map depicting every street, every park, every building, every tree, every pothole, every inhabitant. Were such a map possible, its specificity would defeat its purpose: to generalise and abstract.

What according to you would succeed the passage?

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 28

The perfect representation of reality is not needed, nor even desirable. What is needed is simplification.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 29

Directions: In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which parts of the sentence do not contain an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select 'No error'. Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 29

The correct pair of corelative conjunction is neither....nor and here the sentence uses ‘or’ in fragment B. It must be replaced with ‘nor’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Correct Sentence:

Although my father could neither read nor write, he was reputed to be an excellent orator who captivated his audiences by entertaining them as well as teaching them.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Mock Test: Verbal Ability - 2 - Question 30
