Bank of India PO Mock Test - 6 - Bank Exams MCQ

The correct option for blank 1 is D.
 If you say that one thing is preferable to another, you mean that it is more desirable or suitable.  
Hence, Leadership is one element, probably the most important element, of the overall managerial job. For managerial effectiveness, leadership quality is Preferable. 

The correct option for blank 2 is B.
Leadership is not status or superiority. 
This is the best suitable word as status presents a position and the next word suitable here is superiority.

Influence means the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something, or the effect itself.
This is the best suitable word for blank 3, as leadership does not mean to have control or authority over someone.

The correct option is A.
The managers are required to achieve the objectives. 
Achieve is the best suitable word here because in the organisation managers have objectives and they have to achieve them in a particular time.

The correct option is C.
As the managers are required to achieve the objectives, the leaders help them in attaining the objectives.
Attain means to reach, achieve, or accomplish; gain; obtain: to attain one's goals.

Meaning of as good as his word: Doing what you have promised to do.

In camera means: In private. This phrase comes from Latin and means "in the chamber."

Sentence A conveys two points- one, that jellyfish can withstand the impact of climate change and two, that they have the capacity to accelerate it.

Sentence B explains how jellyfish consume vast amounts of plankton and thereby hasten climate change. So sentence B supports the second point that sentence A makes. So B follows A. But sentence B starts off with the phrase “at the same time"?. This indicates some other point or points have been made before B illustrating the fact that jellyfish can hasten climate change. So B follows A but not immediately after.

Sentence C states that jellyfish are “better prepared"? than other marine life for “the changing ocean environment"?. Among factors that are changing the marine environment, it mentions warmer temperatures, ocean acidification and salinity changes, which relate to climate change. This relates to the first point made by sentence A.

Sentence D talks of how jellyfish feces and mucus support the growth of bacteria and turn them into “carbon dioxide factories"?. That is, jellyfish have the capacity to increase carbon dioxide production in the marine environment.

So we see that both sentence B and sentence D substantiate the point made by sentence A about jellyfish having the capacity to accelerate climate change. D comes before B, as B starts with “at the same time"?. So we have the sentence order ADB.

The first part of sentence A reiterates the point made by sentence C, about how jellyfish are well prepared to withstand climate change. So sentence C precedes A.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is CADB

Hence, the answer is CADB
Choice B is the correct answer.

Sentence A states that the current melting of ice in Greenland is causing “the tilt"? to change at a rate of 2.6 cm a year. Let us look at the other sentences to see what “the tilt"? refers to. We see that sentence C clarifies this. Sentence C tells us that “the Earth’s orbital tilt"? varies between 22 and 25 degrees very 41,000 years. There is however, no cogent link between sentences A and C. We can just say at this point that A follows C, but not immediately after.

Now sentence D begins with “in other words"? and states that while an orbital tilt causes climate change, current changes in climate could end up causing changes in the Earth's axial tilt. Which sentence is sentence D paraphrasing? The only and obvious choice is sentence B, which says that though a natural event could bring about climate change, scientists are warning of a possibility for “reverse feedback"?. So D follows B.

What is the “natural event"? referred to in sentence B? The melting of ice in Greenland, or the variation in the Earth’s orbital tilt? Clearly, it is the latter. So B follows C.

The point about the melting of ice in Greenland changing the tilt is made to substantiate the theory that climate change can cause the Earth’s axial tilt to change.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is CBDA

Hence, the answer is CBDA
Choice C is the correct answer.

There are only two options for the sentence to begin the paragraph with- sentence A and sentence C. Of these, we see that C makes a reference to “that evidence"?, without explaining what it is. So we rule out sentence C as the first sentence of the paragraph. So the paragraph starts with sentence A.

Now sentence A declares that Darwin did not discover the idea that species evolved or a model of evolution in the Galapagos islands. So what did he discover there? Sentence D answers this and states that he found a naturally occurring laboratory that helped him study and make a model of evolution, the first supported by real evidence. So D follows A.

We see that sentence C too mentions ‘evidence’. It elaborates the idea in sentence D, describing the islands of the Galapagos as “perfect petri dishes"? for generating the evidence Darwin needed. So C follows A.

Sentence A, the last sentence, concludes the paragraph by stating that Darwin’s ability to see “this fact"? — the Galapagos as petri dishes generating the evidence to support his model— is the reason why we remember him today.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is ADCB

Hence, the answer is ADCB
Choice A is the correct answer.

By timeline, 8500 BC was before 5000 BC. So sentence C is likely to feature after sentence D in the paragraph.

Sentence D talks of cultivation of plants and domestication of animals that began in the Near East around 8500 BC. Sentence A carries this idea forward, explaining how fixed settlements and small towns came into being after people turned to farming.

Sentence B starts off with “their labors"?. Who does “their"? refer to? Sentence C, which talks of farmers who moved down to the river valleys of Mesopotamia and their efforts to build dykes and ditches, has the answer. So B follows C.

DACB makes a cogent paragraph.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is DACB

Hence, the answer is DACB
Choice A is the correct answer.

Sentence A refers to a “victory"?. What victory? Sentences B and D seem to provide an answer. Sentence B talks of the Greek warriors in the Battle of Marathon while sentence D is a more general statement about Athenian warriors routing Persian invaders. So, both sentences A and B are likely to follow D. Which of these sentences comes immediately after D? Sentence A states that not long after the victory, the Greeks already began to look back at it and think that they could never match this past glory. This does make sense when placed immediately after D. Now, consider sentence B. It talks of the Marathonomachai warriors who fought the war being regarded as Athens’ Greatest Generation. This too, looks like a good option to follow D. So, we need to look at some other clues to help us finalize the sentence order.

Sentences B and C make references to time. B talks of the 490 BCE war and C, of the mid- fifth century BCE (around 450 BCE). Note that in terms of timeline, B precedes C.

Now, C talks of Athenians “looking back with longing"?. To what? D provides an answer: a few decades earlier, Athenian citizen-soldiers had helped to rout the Persian invaders of Greece. So, D follows C.

If A were to follow D, we cannot place B in the paragraph. However, the sentence order BA does make sense after CD. So, the correct order is CDBA.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is CDBA

Hence, the answer is CDBA
Choice D is the correct answer.

Out of the given three options, the two sentences can be joined correctly in two ways: 'As soon as the police arrived at the railway station, the suspect saw them, fired three bullets, and ran away'.

I won't go there unless you go too.

The sentence implies that the person (subject) is in search of a location for his factory setup. Therefore, the only participle that goes well with the context of the sentence is 'looking for'. 

Look out (Phrasal Verb): be vigilant and take notice.

Look after (Phrasal Verb): take care of

Look forward to (Phrasal Verb): await eagerly 

Look for (Phrasal Verb): to hope to get something that you want or need

Clearly, 'looking for' replaces the bold part most appropriately. 

Hence, option B is correct.

This statement is wrong: Is free now from the narrow vested interests

Correct Statement will be: Is now free from the narrow vested interests.

This statement is wrong: I will have helped him

Correct Statement will be: I would have helped him

This statement is wrong: Remember me

Correct Statement will be: Remind me

This statement is wrong: We witnessed a collusion

Correct Statement will be: We witnessed a collision

There is no error in the sentence.

“The dacoits and the police” is a plural subject.

Hence, the verb ‘was’ is inappropriate. The correct verb should have been ‘were’.

The rest of the sentence is correct.

Correct Sentence:

The dacoits and the police were firing at each other when one bullet hit the young man.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

The original sentence is incorrect.

Reason: There are two errors in the bold phrase.

1st. Instead of ‘to using’, the infinitive ‘to use’ should be used here.

2nd. In the sentence, the writer refers to the subject ‘magnetics’ and not the adjective ‘magnetic’. Therefore, ‘magnetic’ should be replaced by ‘magnetics’ to make it a meaningful sentence.

Therefore, among the given choices option B replaces the bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

Researchers have developed a process to use magnetics with brain-like networks to program and teach devices.

Option B is hence the correct answer.

The original sentence is absolutely correct and needs no correction.

Option E is hence the correct answer.

The original sentence is incorrect.

Reason: 

1st. As we can observe that the sentence is made in present tense, usage of past form ‘disturbed’ is erroneous here. Instead of ‘disturbed’, ‘disturbs’ (because the subject is singular) should be used here.

2nd. ‘Conscious’ means ‘aware of and responding to one's surroundings’ and the word doesn’t make any sense in the context of the sentence. Instead of it, the noun ‘conscience’ that means ‘a person's moral sense of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one's behaviour’ should be used here.

Ex. He had a guilty conscience about his desires.

Therefore, among the given choices option D replaces the bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

Poverty is too much with us and its presence across vast stretches of our country disturbs our conscience.

Option D is hence the correct answer.

The statement is not correct in its present form and it is clear from first underline word. Therefore, option E can be ruled out easily.

Now, coming to the given options, if we carry out the interchanging of the pair A-D, this will imply something but the statement will not completely make sense with this. But we are certain that our choice should contain the pair A-D. We have to find out another option with this pair and that option is B. And if we also interchange B-C, we shall find the correct sentence, along with interchanging A-D.

So, there is no requirement to check the remaining options.

This makes the correct statement as:

There is a view that the depreciation of the rupee has been the result of a general appreciation of the dollar across all currencies.

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

The statement is correct in its present form and therefore, no pair of words needs to be replaced in case of the given statement.
This makes option E the correct choice among the given options.

To correct the sentence, we need to place the words in their appropriate positions. The original sentence is:

"The Election Commission has announced (A) second installment of 1,100 more VVPATs ensuing (B) the State for the to (C) elections in the first week (D) of December."

Let's analyze the placement:

1. (A) "second installment" should be placed correctly to fit contextually.
2. (B) "ensuing" is misused here and needs to be replaced.
3. (C) "for the to" is incorrect and needs to be reordered.
4. (D) "of December" is likely in the correct position but needs to be confirmed in context.

The correct sentence should read: "The Election Commission has announced the second installment of 1,100 more VVPATs for the elections ensuing in the State in the first week of December."

So, the corrections are:

• (A) "second installment" correctly placed.
• (B) "ensuing" should be replaced with "for the".
• (C) "for the to" should be replaced with "the State".
• (D) "of December" is correctly placed.

Therefore, the correct option is:

1. Only B-C

P - 3 = M
I + 3 = L
N - 3 = K
K + 3 = N
(PINK = MLKN )

Similarly, ROSE = ORPH

S E L D O M - M F T L N C

Case 1:
S + 1 = T
E + 1 = F
L + 1 = M

S E L → T F M → M F T

Case 2:
D - 1 = C
O - 1 = N
M - 1 = L

D O M → C N L → L N C

Resulting: SELDOM → MFTLNC

Similarly, PRINCE → JSQDBM

G - 5 = B
R + 4 = V
E - 3 = B
A + 2 = C
T - 1 = S
⇒ GREAT → BVBCS

Similarly,

U - 5 = P
N + 4 = R
T - 3 = Q
I + 2 = K
L - 1 = K
⇒ UNTIL → PRQKK
