IMPECUNIOUS

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 2

The word ''impecunious'' means having little or no money.

  1. Destitute - This word closely matches the meaning of impecunious, as it refers to extreme poverty or lacking the means of support.
  2. Esteemed - Esteemed means respected or admired, which is the opposite of impecunious.
  3. Deferential - Deferential refers to showing respect or submission to another's authority, which is unrelated to the lack of money implied by impecunious.
  4. Affluent - Affluent means wealthy or having an abundance of resources, which is the opposite of impecunious.

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 3
Save

Directions: Rearrange the following five sentences (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and then answer the given question.

A. At just over 260 cubic km per year, the country uses 25 percent of all groundwater extracted globally, ahead of the USA and China.

B. And because 70 percent of the water supply in agriculture today is groundwater, it will remain the lifeline of India's water supplies for years to come.

C. Despite this, we have an extremely poor understanding of groundwater, which impacts both policy and practice.

D. A majority of India's water problems are those relating to groundwater—water that is found beneath the earth's surface.

E. This is because we are the largest user of groundwater in the world, and therefore highly dependent on it.

Which of the following is the FIRST sentence of the sequence?

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 3
Statement D is the standalone sentence. So, it should begin the sequence.

Statement E mentions "This is because ..." in order to state the reason of the problem that has been introduced in statement D. So, E should follow D.

Statement A will follow statement E as it provides support to the claim made in E that India is the largest user of groundwater in the world (the country uses 25 percent of all groundwater extracted globally). Next comes statement B as it follows the same thought ''And because 70 percent of the water supply...''.

Statement C is the concluding statement as it provides a contrast "Despite this ...", A and B elaborate on the importance of groundwater and C conveys that even with this issue being of such great importance enough attention isn't being paid. So, the correct order of the sentences should be DEABC.

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 4

I can do the work.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 15

Therefore, we can eliminate these options as well. Therefore, ‘the work can be done by me’ is the correct form and hence, option B is the right answer.
