The correct answer is 'Fossils of human species'.

Key Points

• As we can see in the second paragraph of the passage, it is clearly mentioned that "The evidence for human evolution comes from fossils of species of humans which have become extinct".
• Thus, it can be concluded that the evidence of human evolution first came from fossils of human species.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

The correct answer is 'physiology of human structure'.

Key Points

• Anatomy (from Ancient Greek ἀνατομή (anatomḗ) 'dissection') is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts.
  • For example:- Knowledge of human anatomy is essential to figure drawing.
• Also, refer to the lines: For instance, in 1856, workmen who were quarrying for limestone in the Neander Valley, a gorge near the German city of Dusseldorf, found a skull and some skeletal fragments. These were handed over to Carl Fuhlrott, a local schoolmaster and natural historian, who realized that they did not belong to a modern human. He then made a plaster cast of the skull and sent it to Herman Schaffhausen, a professor of anatomy at Bonn University. 
• Thus, we can infer that a professor of anatomy studied about human skull. 

Hence, the correct answer is option 1. 

The correct answer is 'The Holy Book of Bible also mentioned the evidence of human fossils'.

Key Points

• As we can see in the second paragraph of the passage, it is clearly mentioned that:-
  • "For instance, in 1856, workmen who were quarrying for limestone in the Neander Valley, a gorge near the German city of Dusseldorf, found a skull and some skeletal fragments. These were handed over to Carl Fuhlrott, a local schoolmaster and natural historian, who realized that they did not belong to a modern human. He then made a plaster cast of the skull and sent it to Herman Schaffhausen, a professor of anatomy at Bonn University. The following year they jointly published a paper, claiming that this skull represented a form of human that was extinct".
  • "This reluctance generally stemmed from their belief in the Old Testament of the Bible, according to which human origin was regarded as an act of Creation by God".
• The Holy Book of Bible is nowhere mentioned in the passage.
• As we can see in the first paragraph of the passage, it is clearly mentioned that "Discoveries of human fossils, stone tools and cave painting help us to understand early human history".
• Hence, option (1), (2) and (4) are true but option (3) is false as there is no mention in the passage about it. 

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

• Hermione's quality as a witch is compared to the whole class.
• She stands out in her qualities as a witch.
• Thus, a superlative has been used to indicate her quality as a witch. 
• Superlative is often marked by the use of the definite article the.
• Thus, brightest has been used.

• Adjectives are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns.
  • ​Example: good, sweet, huge, polite.
• ​Adjectives come in three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative.

The correct answer is 'She forgave her brother for breaking her favorite vase.'

Key Points

• The subject in the above given sentence is 'she' which is third person singular and should concord with the verb. Hence, the verbs cannot be of plural kind.
• We use 'past simple' for completed actions and 'present perfect tense' when something started in past and is still true or has some ramification. The given sentence indicates the action is conclusive and over; hence it will take Simple past.
• So, the correct sentence is 'She forgave her brother for breaking her favorite vase.'

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

 Shortcut Trick

• To save time in exam, try to look at the things 'Error detection' and 'Choose the correct sentence' kinds of questions are usually made based on. You can develop the muscle memory with repeated practice of similar problems.
  • Using subject-verb agreement, two of the options can be dismissed.
  • The structure of present perfect tense is has/have + past participle form of the verb. Two options can be eliminated by this logic.
  • Except Option 4, no other options follow the above stated grammatical reasoning completely.

The correct answer is '(C)'.

Key Points

 Part (C) has an error. 'since' should be replaced with 'for'.

Both Since and For are used as prepositions of time. 

• Since: from a particular point of time in the past until a later time, or until now. e.g. Since Sunday, since 1980, since morning.

Ex: Emma went to work in New York a year ago, and we haven't seen her since. (That specific point of time is when 'Emma went to New York'.)

• For: used to denote a duration of time; e.g. for two hours, for two days, for two years.

Ex: She's out of the office for a few days next week.

In the question sentence, 'two years' is a duration of time. So, 'for' should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I have known him for two years.

  • The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with the clause "The Indian Civil Service gradually developed into one of the most powerful civil services".
  • S follows S1 because it is adding information about the power of members of the civil services.
  • Q follows S because it explains that its members often participated in the making of policy.
  • R follows Q because it explains the tradition of the civil service.
  • P follows R because it talks about the tradition which is of independence, integrity, and hard work.
• Therefore, the correct sequence is 'SQRP'.
• Correct sequence: 
  • The Indian Civil Service gradually developed into one of the most powerful civil services;_____________though these qualities obviously served British, and not Indian interests.
    S: its members exercised vast power,
    Q: and often participated in the making of policy,
    R: and developed a certain tradition of
    P: independence, integrity, and hard work
    Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

The correct answer is Caravan.

Key Points

• Caravan: a company of travelers or animals on a journey through a region (एक क्षेत्र के माध्यम से यात्रा पर यात्रियों या जानवरों की एक कंपनी). 
  • Example: A caravan of hippies just passed by the central perk.
• From the above explanation, it can be concluded that Caravan is the correct word to substitute for the given description.

Hence, the correct choice is option 3.

Additional Information

• Let's refer to all the other given options:
  • Procure: to get possession of (something) ((कुछ) का कब्जा पाने के लिए)
  • Hive: the nest of bees (मधुमक्खियों का घोंसला)
  • Garter: band worn to hold up a stocking or sock (मोजा या जुर्राब रखने के लिए पहना जाने वाला बैंड)

The correct answer is "The students will be scolded for not doing the homework by the teacher."

Key Points

• The structure of a sentence in the passive voice is: object + V3( verb past participle) + subject.
• The given sentence is an active voice in the future tense
• The V3( verb past participle) is followed by, to, with, by, etc before the subject in the passive voice.
• The passive voice highlights the action performed by the verb which is received by the subject.
• The pronoun that is associated with passive voice are: me, us, him, her, you, them, it.
• Base forms of the verb are not used in passive voice.
• In the correct sentence,  we can see the object 'students' followed by the V3(verb past participle) 'scolded' and the subject 'teacher'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1

Additional Information

• 'Students' is a noun but it becomes an object in the passive voice sentence as the action of the verb is received by the noun.

The correct answer is 'an identification'.

Key Points

• The given blank falls under the independent clause in the given sentence - The suspects had to go through ______ parade 
• In the clause, we have the subject (suspects) and the verb (had to go). 
• But the clause is missing an object. 
• Objects are typically noun phrases (a noun or pronoun and any dependent words before or after it).
• From the given options only identification is a noun which means the action or process of identifying someone or something or the fact of being identified.
• So, the correct phrase for the given blank is an identification.
• Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. 

Correct sentence - The suspects had to go through an identification parade so that the real culprit could be caught.

Additional Information

• Identified is the past tense form of the verb identify.
• Identify is a verb. A identify is an incorrect phrase.

The correct answer is "Perilous"

Key Points 

•  Let's look at the meaning of the selected word:
  • Perilous- dangerous, not safe.
• Example: Damascus, the capital of Syria is a perilous city.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"

Additional Information

•  Let's look at the meanings of the other options:
  • ​Comfy- who feels comfortable
  • Luxurious- which feels or provides luxury
  • Cruel- who is not kind

Hinglish

• Perilous- खतरनाक 
  • Example: Damascus, the capital of Syria is a perilous city.
• ​Comfy- आरामदायक 
• Luxurious- जो आराम दे 
• Cruel- क्रूर 

The correct answer is "credulous"

Key Points 

• Let's look at the meaning of the given word
  • Gullible- easily persuaded to believe something; credulous.
    • Example: The king was gullible, he can be tricked easily.
• Let's look at the meaning of the selected word:
  • Credulous- having or showing too great a readiness to believe things.
    • Example: Simone can't believe anything, she is not credulous.

Hence the correct answer is "option 1"

Additional Information 
 Let's look at the meaning of the other options:

• Credible-  which can be believed
• Fallible- capable of making mistakes or being wrong.
• believable-  that can be believed

 Hinglish

• Gullible- जो आसानी से किसी का भी कहना मान ले, बेवकूफ  
  • Example: The king was gullible, he can be tricked easily.

  • Example: Simone can't believe anything, she is not credulous.
• Credible-  जो यकीं करने लायक हो 
• Fallible- जिससे गलती हो सकती है 
• Believable-  संभावित

The correct answer is "Whose".

 Key Points

• 'Whose' is a pronoun that is used to link the attributes(in this case, 'skills') to a person(here, 'the computer programmer'). Hence, it is the appropriate choice.
• 'Whom' and 'who' are used to refer to people, but they cannot show possession, which is required in the given context.
• 'His' is a possessive pronoun that may signify the connection in gender-specific contexts but here the gender of the programmer is not specified.
• Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
