SNAP Mock Test - 5 (New Pattern) - CAT MCQ

Correct sequence is ECFBDA.

"GLOAT" means to take pleasure in someone's misfortune or one's own success with a sense of superiority.

"RELISH" means to enjoy something with great pleasure or satisfaction.

Since both involve deriving pleasure, "RELISH" is the correct option.

"AUDACIOUS" means showing a willingness to take bold risks or being daring. Someone who is audacious might do things that others consider risky or bold without hesitation.

On the other hand, "TIMID" means lacking in courage or confidence, often being shy or hesitant to take risks. A timid person is generally cautious and avoids situations that require boldness or daring actions.

So, in this context:

• "AUDACIOUS" is about being bold and taking risks.
• "TIMID" is about being shy or lacking courage.

Because "TIMID" is the opposite of "AUDACIOUS" in terms of willingness to take risks or be bold, option C, "TIMID," is the correct answer. It's an antonym because it represents the opposite meaning.

In the sentence, we're talking about the Supreme Court interfering in executive matters. The word "interference" implies that the Supreme Court is getting involved in something that's not its primary area of responsibility.

Now, let's look at the options:

A. "Physical" refers to something related to the body or material things. It doesn't fit the context of legal or court matters.

B. "Literal" means exactly as stated or in its most basic form. This doesn't seem relevant to the context of the Supreme Court's involvement in executive matters.

C. "Canonical" refers to something related to a set of rules or principles, often in a religious or literary context. It's not directly related to the legal or judicial system.

D. "Judicial" is the correct option. It refers to matters related to the courts or judges. Since we're talking about the Supreme Court's involvement, which is a part of the judicial system, this is the most appropriate word.

So, the correct answer is D, "judicial," because it accurately describes the type of activism being discussed – the involvement of the court system in executive matters.

In the sentence "She truthfully answered the detective's questions," the word "truthfully" is modifying or describing how the action of answering was performed. It's giving us more information about the verb "answered."

Now, let's look at the options:

A. "Verb" - This is incorrect because "truthfully" is not a verb. A verb is a word that expresses an action or state of being.

B. "Adjective" - This is incorrect because "truthfully" is not describing a noun. Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns.

C. "Noun" - This is incorrect because "truthfully" is not a noun. Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas.

D. "Adverb" - This is the correct answer. An adverb is a word that modifies or describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, "truthfully" is modifying the verb "answered," telling us how the action was performed. Therefore, "truthfully" is functioning as an adverb.

So, the correct answer is D, "Adverb."

• The correct collective noun for a group of camels is "caravan." This term specifically refers to a group of camels travelling together, often across deserts.
• "Drove" is more commonly used for groups of cattle or sheep.
• "Brood" typically refers to a group of young birds, and "cluster" is usually used for objects or things grouped closely together, like stars or berries.
• Therefore, "caravan" is the most appropriate term for describing a collection of camels on a journey.

The word "ephemeral" refers to something that lasts for a very short time, like a fleeting moment or something that quickly disappears.

Now, let's look at the options:

A. "Unreal" - This word means not real or imaginary. It doesn't directly relate to the concept of something lasting for a short time.

B. "Mythical" - This word refers to something related to myths or legends, which doesn't necessarily imply a short duration.

C. "Short-lived" - This is the correct answer. "Short-lived" means lasting only for a brief period of time, which perfectly captures the meaning of "ephemeral."

D. "Artificial" - This word refers to something made by humans, rather than something natural. It doesn't convey the idea of something being short-lived.

So, the best word that expresses the meaning of "ephemeral" is C: "Short-lived," because it accurately describes something that lasts only for a brief period.

In the sentence, there's a contradiction between being respected by many and not being liked by some.
The word "though" is used to show this contrast or contradiction. It's like saying "despite being respected by many, there were still some who didn't like him.
So, "though" is the appropriate word here because it introduces the contradiction between the two clauses.

• The phrase "biting off more than he can chew" means taking on more work or responsibility than one can handle.
• In this sentence, it's saying that by accepting two part-time jobs, he's taking on too much.
• Option B, "trying to do more than he is able to," best captures this meaning without changing the overall sense of the sentence.
• It reflects the idea that he's attempting to handle more than he's capable of managing. Therefore, option B is the most suitable replacement.

• A zealot is someone who is fanatical and uncompromising in their pursuit of a cause or belief. They are extremely enthusiastic and passionate about their beliefs, often to the point of extremism.
• Therefore, the option closest in meaning to zealot is "fanatic."
• Jealousy, effervescence, and lethargy do not capture the intense and extreme nature of a zealot.
• A zealot is a term used to describe someone who holds extreme views or is fanatical about something.
• Therefore, option C is the right answer.

The original sentence is in indirect speech, where Raj is telling Seeta about his previous location. In direct speech, we need to convert it to Raj's exact words.

To convert it to direct speech:

• "Raj told Seeta" becomes "Raj said to Seeta".
• "a day before" becomes "yesterday" when put within quotes.
• The rest of the sentence remains the same.

So, the direct speech equivalent would be: "Raj said to Seeta, 'I was at Beijing yesterday'."

Option C correctly reflects these changes, making it the best choice.
