Word and Structure Knowledge
Choose the Correct Option to Fill in the Blank. (Question 1 to 24)
Q1: Rama has ________ that she will help me in my work. (a) assure (b) assured (c) assures (d) assuring
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The correct word here is assured, which means she has given a promise or guarantee.
Assure is the base form and does not fit the sentence structure.
Assures is present tense and does not match the context.
Assuring is a continuous form and is also incorrect in this context.
Q2: A few of the girls ________ join the foreign language course. (a) wants (b) want to (c) to wanting (d) have want to
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The phrase "A few of the girls" indicates a plural subject, which requires a plural verb form.
In this case, "want to" is the correct form because it agrees with the plural subject.
Option (a) "wants" is incorrect as it is singular, while (c) and (d) are not grammatically correct.
Thus, the correct choice is (b) "want to".
Q3: Someone ________ my mobile when I was in the supermarket. (a) stolen (b) steals (c) stole (d) stealing
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The correct word to fill in the blank is stole, which is the past tense of steal.
This indicates that the action of taking the mobile happened in the past while the person was at the supermarket.
Options like stolen and stealing do not fit grammatically in this context.
Thus, the sentence correctly conveys that the mobile was taken at a specific time in the past.
Q4: Much of our time ________ now wasted in attending to the visitors. (a) is (b) are (c) were (d) has
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The sentence refers to time, which is a singular noun, so we need a singular verb.
The correct form of the verb to use here is "is", indicating that the action of wasting time is currently happening.
Using "are" would be incorrect because it does not agree with the singular subject.
Thus, the complete sentence reads: "Much of our time is now wasted in attending to the visitors."
Q5: The director and the principal of the school ________ present in the assembly. (a) was (b) has (c) were (d) will
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The correct answer is were because it indicates that both the director and the principal were present in the assembly in the past.
In English, when we talk about two or more subjects, we use the plural form of the verb. Here, "director and principal" is plural.
Using "was" would be incorrect as it is singular and does not match the plural subject.
Thus, "were" is the appropriate choice to convey that both individuals attended the assembly.
Q6: Sushil ________ eating sweets because the doctor has advised him to. (a) avoids (b) has avoid (c) avoiding (d) were avoiding
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The correct word to fill in the blank is avoids, which is the present tense form of the verb. This indicates that Sushil regularly refrains from eating sweets.
Using avoids shows that this is a current action based on the doctor's advice.
Other options like has avoid and were avoiding are grammatically incorrect in this context.
Avoiding is also incorrect here because it does not fit the sentence structure.
Q7: The director ________ the biweekly meeting for tomorrow. (a) scheduling (b) have scheduled (c) will be scheduling (d) schedules
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The correct answer is will be scheduling because it indicates a future action.
This form is used to express plans or arrangements that are set to happen.
Options like scheduling and have scheduled do not fit the future context of the sentence.
Thus, will be scheduling is the appropriate choice for indicating the meeting is planned for tomorrow.
Q8: Jay is so intelligent that his teachers have chosen to speed up ________ studies. (a) him (b) his (c) its (d) himself
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The correct answer is his because it is a possessive pronoun that indicates ownership of the studies.
In this context, "his studies" means the studies belonging to Jay.
Using "him" or "himself" would not fit grammatically in this sentence.
Thus, "his" is the appropriate choice to convey that the studies are related to Jay.
Q9: Tania invited my friend and ________ to ________ birthday party. (a) I, my (b) me, her (c) me, hers (d) I, their
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The correct phrase is "me, her" because "me" is the correct object pronoun to use after "invited" and "her" is the correct possessive pronoun to indicate whose birthday party it is.
Using "I" would be incorrect in this context as it should be used as a subject pronoun, not an object.
In the phrase, "my" and "their" do not fit because they do not correctly refer to the birthday party being discussed.
Thus, "me, her" is the only option that correctly completes the sentence.
Q10: The food is cold. You can ________ it ________ in the microwave. (a) keep, out (b) warm, up (c) move, on (d) take, off
Solution:
Ans: (b)
When food is cold, you can use a microwave to heat it.
The phrase warm up means to make something hot again.
Options like keep out or move on do not relate to heating food.
Thus, the correct choice is warm up as it directly addresses the action needed.
Q11: Little Kezia ________ the manuscript her dad had been working on for six months. (a) cut in (b) pulled apart (c) fell apart (d) dropped back
Solution:
Ans: (b)
Little Kezia was involved in an action regarding the manuscript.
The phrase "pulled apart" indicates that she separated or damaged the manuscript.
The other options do not accurately describe the action she took.
Thus, the correct answer is (b) pulled apart, as it best fits the context of the sentence.
Q12: The police arrived in the nick of time _______ rescue the kidnapped child. (a) for (b) to (c) from (d) and
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The phrase "in the nick of time" means just in time to do something important.
In this context, the correct word to use is "to," which indicates purpose.
So, the sentence means the police arrived just in time to save the child.
Using "for," "from," or "and" would not convey the intended meaning correctly.
Q13: I will complete my tasks ______ an hour. After that, I will head to the park to play badminton. (a) on (b) at (c) in (d) for
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The correct option is in, which indicates a duration of time.
When we say "in an hour," it means that something will happen after one hour has passed.
Using at would imply a specific time, which is not the case here.
Thus, the sentence correctly conveys that the work will be done within the next hour.
Q14: The school management acts _________ with its staff and the students. (a) protection (b) protect (c) protectively (d) perfect
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The correct word to fill in the blank is protectively, which describes how the school management interacts with its staff and students.
Using protectively indicates that the management is acting in a way that ensures safety and support.
Other options like protection and perfect do not fit grammatically in the sentence.
Thus, the best choice is protectively, as it conveys the intended meaning of careful and supportive behavior.
Q15: Penguins are unable to fly ________ they are excellent swimmers. (a) but (b) and (c) or (d) so
Solution:
Ans: (a)
Penguins are known for their inability to fly, which is a unique characteristic among birds.
However, they are exceptional swimmers, which is highlighted by the word "but" in the sentence.
The use of "but" indicates a contrast between their inability to fly and their ability to swim well.
This contrast is important to understand the unique adaptations of penguins in their environment.
Q16: We ________ waiting for you at the bus stop, weren't we? (a) are (b) was (c) have (d) were
Solution:
Ans: (d)
The correct word to fill in the blank is were, which is the past tense of "to be".
This sentence refers to a situation that happened in the past, indicating that the action of waiting is completed.
Using were matches the plural subject "we", making it grammatically correct.
The other options do not fit the context of the sentence as they either indicate present or incorrect past tense.
Q17: Someone who is in love with himself is a/an ______. (a) polyglot (b) insolvent (c) narcissist (d) eccentric
Solution:
Ans: (c)
A narcissist is a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves.
This term comes from the Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection.
In contrast, a polyglot refers to someone who speaks multiple languages, while insolvent means unable to pay debts.
Eccentric describes someone who is unconventional or slightly strange, which is different from self-love.
Q18: Excuse me. Could you direct me to _________ way to _______ bus stop? (a) a, a (b) the, the (c) an, an (d) the, no article
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The correct answer is "the, the" because we are referring to a specific way and a specific bus stop.
Using "the" indicates that both the way and the bus stop are known to the speaker and listener.
In English, "the" is used for things that are unique or already mentioned.
In this context, it makes sense to use "the" for both parts of the question.
Q19: Father gave me _______ ten rupee note. (a) an (b) a (c) the (d) no article
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The correct answer is "a" because we use "a" before words that start with a consonant sound.
In this case, "ten" starts with a consonant sound, so we say "a ten rupee note."
Using "an" would be incorrect here as it is used before vowel sounds.
Therefore, the sentence correctly reads: "Father gave me a ten rupee note."
Q20: It didn't at any point ______ to us that we had left the iron on. (a) dawn (b) think (c) mind (d) occur
Solution:
Ans: (d)
The phrase "didn't at any point" indicates that something never happened.
The correct word here is "occur," which means to come to mind or happen.
In this context, it means we never realized we left the iron on.
The other options do not fit the meaning of realization in this sentence.
Q21: I will attend the fair _______ we can all go together. (a) only if (b) unless (c) in order (d) even if
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The phrase "I will go to the fair only if we can all go together" means that the speaker's attendance is conditional on everyone going together.
Choosing "only if" indicates that the speaker will not go unless this condition is met.
Other options like "unless" or "even if" do not convey the same conditional meaning.
Thus, "only if" is the correct choice as it clearly states the requirement for attending the fair.
Q22: ________ were playing cricket when ________ saw a snake near the bushes. (a) Them, he (b) They, they (c) Their, we (d) He, he
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The correct answer is "They, they" because it maintains the subject and pronoun agreement.
"They" refers to the group playing cricket, and "they" again refers to the same group seeing the snake.
Using "Them" or "Their" would not fit grammatically in this context.
This structure clearly indicates who is performing the action and who is observing the snake.
Q23: He mentioned that he ________ take care of my parrots during my absence. (a) can (b) may (c) might (d) would
Solution:
Ans: (d)
The correct answer is would because it indicates a willingness or intention to take care of the parrots.
Using would suggests that he is committed to looking after them while you are away.
Other options like can, may, and might imply possibility but do not convey the same level of assurance.
Thus, would is the best choice for expressing his promise to help.
Q24: ______ you check this document before I print it, please? (a) May (b) Should (c) Can (d) Must
Solution:
Ans: (c)
In this question, the word "______" is asking for a suitable modal verb to fill in the blank.
The correct answer is "Can," which is used to ask for permission or to request someone to do something.
Options like "May" and "Should" are also modal verbs, but they do not fit as naturally in this context.
Thus, "Can" is the most appropriate choice for asking someone to check the document.
Q25: Choose the correct Synonym for the word. Encourage (a) Dampen (b) Embolden (c) Confound (d) Perturb
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The word encourage means to give someone support or confidence.
Among the options, embolden is the closest synonym, meaning to make someone more confident.
On the other hand, dampen means to lessen or reduce, which is the opposite of encourage.
Confound means to confuse, and perturb means to disturb, neither of which relate to support or confidence.
Q26: Choose the correct Synonym for the word. Exuberance? (a) Disinterest (b) Inactivity (c) Lack (d) Eagerness
Solution:
Ans: (d)
Exuberance refers to a state of being full of energy, excitement, and enthusiasm.
It is the opposite of feelings like disinterest or inactivity, which indicate a lack of energy or enthusiasm.
In this context, eagerness captures the essence of exuberance, as it reflects a strong desire and enthusiasm.
Thus, the correct answer is (d) Eagerness, as it aligns perfectly with the meaning of exuberance.
Q27: Choose the Correct Antonym of the Given Word. Feud (a) Run-in (b) Hostility (c) Bickering (d) Harmony
Solution:
Ans: (d)
The term harmony refers to a situation where there is peaceful coexistence and agreement among individuals or groups.
In contrast, options like run-in, hostility, and bickering indicate conflict or disagreement.
Thus, harmony is the only option that signifies a positive and cooperative relationship.
It is essential to recognize that harmony promotes understanding and collaboration.
Q28: Choose the Correct Antonym of the Given Word. Oration (a) Writing (b) Homily (c) Sermon (d) Speech
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The term oration refers to a formal speech that is often delivered in a public setting.
While writing can encompass many forms of communication, in this context, it is the closest match to the concept of oration.
Other options like homily, sermon, and speech are related but do not capture the essence of a formal oration as directly as writing does.
Thus, the correct answer is writing, as it represents the act of composing a formal speech.
Choose the option that has the correct spelling. (Question 29 to 30)
Q29: How is the word that signifies 'senseless' spelled? (a) Aisine (b) Asinine (c) Aseine (d) Asinne
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The correct spelling for the word meaning senseless is Asinine.
This term is often used to describe actions or statements that are foolish or lacking in sense.
It is important to remember that the other options do not represent the correct spelling.
Understanding the meaning of words helps in using them accurately in communication.
Q30: How is the word that signifies 'heavily' spelled? (a) Pandurously (b) Pondreuosly (c) Ponderously (d) Pundarously
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The correct spelling of the word meaning 'heavily' is Ponderously.
This word is often used to describe something that is done in a heavy or clumsy manner.
Options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect spellings and do not convey the same meaning.
Remember, Ponderously is the only option that accurately represents the intended meaning.
Reading
Read the Passage and Answer the Questions That Follow. (Question 31 to 35) A school library is a structure within the school that houses a collection of books, audio-visual material and other content that serves common use to meet the educational, informative and recreational needs of the users. The chief objective of libraries is to meet the academic needs of the particular educational institution which it serves. Besides serving students in their studies and teachers in their research school, libraries aim at creating interest in reading amongst the students who get the best of resources and environment here. It provides us with quality fiction and nonfiction books that encourage us to read more for pleasure and enrich our intellectual, artistic, cultural, social and emotional growth. The ambiance of the school library is perfect for learning without getting disturbed. This makes it easy for us to learn and grasp faster. It provides teachers the access to professional development, relevant information and reference material to plan and implement effective learning programs. While the role of the school library remains constant, its design, digital platform, strategies and tools could change as technology changes. School libraries help to: (i) Impact positively on the academic achievements of the students. Students can perform better during examination by reading various books.

Q31: Choose the most appropriate title for the passage. (a) Fiction and Non-Fiction (b) Importance of School Library (c) Reading Books (d) Students' Achievements
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The best title for the passage is "Importance of School Library" because it highlights the significance of having a library in schools.
This title reflects how a school library can enhance students' learning and provide access to various resources.
While other options mention related topics, they do not capture the central theme of the passage as effectively.
Thus, option (b) is the most suitable choice for summarizing the content discussed.
Q32: Which of the following statements is incorrect? (a) A school library positively impacts the academic achievements of the students. (b) It facilitates the work of the classroom teacher. (c) It helps the school to run independent learning programs. (d) It offers a space for recreational activities during lessons.
Solution:
Ans: (d)
The statement that is not correct is (d) because a school library is primarily meant for academic purposes and not for recreational activities during classes.
While libraries can provide a space for students to relax, their main function is to support learning and education.
Options (a), (b), and (c) highlight the positive roles of a school library in enhancing student learning and supporting teachers.
Thus, (d) is the only statement that does not align with the primary purpose of a school library.
Q33: Choose the correct synonym of the given word: Enrich (a) Take (b) Slash (c) Endow (d) Shorten
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The word enrich means to make something better or to improve its quality.
The correct synonym is endow, which also means to provide or supply with a quality or asset.
Options like take and slash do not convey a similar meaning, as they imply removal or reduction.
Thus, endow is the best choice as it aligns with the idea of enhancing or adding value.
Q34: Along with various educational objectives, libraries also foster _______ interest among students. (a) sports (b) union (c) reading (d) teamwork
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The library plays a crucial role in encouraging students to develop a passion for reading.
By providing access to a wide range of books and resources, it helps to stimulate their interest in literature.
This interest in reading is essential for academic success and personal growth.
While other options like sports and leadership are important, the library's primary focus is on promoting reading habits.
Q35: A library helps in the __________ development of the student. (a) intellectual, artistic and social (b) artistic (c) just social (d) imaginary
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The role of a library is crucial in fostering a student's intellectual, artistic, and social growth.

Through various programs and materials, libraries encourage social interaction and the development of critical thinking skills.
Thus, the correct answer highlights the comprehensive development that libraries support.
Read the Passage and Answer the Questions That Follow. (Question 36 to 40) Some virus experts might not consider viruses to be alive. Yet viruses can reproduce. To do so, they hijack the cells of a host. They borrow the "machinery" in the host's cells to copy the virus' genetic code. Those host cells may spit out hundreds or thousands - even millions - of copies of the original virus. These new viruses then go on to infect more cells. Maybe the host will also sneeze out the viruses or otherwise release some to infect other potential hosts. And those hosts might be anything from people or plants to bacteria. But each time a virus is copied, there's some risk the host's cell will make one or more errors in the genetic code of that virus. These are known as mutations. Each new one alters the genetic blueprint of the virus a bit. Mutant viruses are known as variants of the original. Many mutations won't affect how a virus works. Some might be bad for the virus. Others might improve how well the virus can infect a cell, or help the virus evade its host's immune system. A mutation might even allow the virus to resist the effects of some therapy. Scientists refer to such new-and-improved variants as strains. And although coronavirus variants made news throughout much of the COVID-19 pandemic, any virus runs the risk of spawning new variants through mutation. Indeed, mutations are one basis of evolution. Mutations that don't benefit an organism (or virus), often die out. But those that make an organism more fit - better adapted to its environment - tend to become more dominant. Scientists refer to some new versions of the coronavirus as "variants of concern". Compared to the original virus, these variants might infect or spread between people more easily, respond less well to treatments or impair how well vaccines work against the virus. A more serious class of viruses are so-called "variants of high consequence". Treatments or precautions work far less well against these viruses than they had against earlier forms of the virus. For instance, the new variants might resist current vaccines. They may not show up well in current tests. They might even cause more severe disease.
Q36: Choose the most appropriate title for the passage. (a) Virus-Variants and Strains (b) Virus Changes (c) Covid-19 Pandemic (d) Variants of Concern
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The best title for the passage is Virus-Variants and Strains because it directly addresses the topic discussed.
Virus mutations are a key aspect of the discussion, but the title needs to encompass both variants and strains.
While Covid-19 Pandemic is relevant, it is too broad and does not focus specifically on the variants.
Variants of Concern is also related but does not capture the full scope as effectively as the chosen title.
Q37: Mutations that do not provide an advantage to an organism typically __________. (a) pass over (b) carry on (c) die out (d) leave out
Solution:
Ans: (c)
Mutations are changes in the DNA of an organism.
When a mutation does not help the organism survive or reproduce, it is less likely to be passed on to future generations.
As a result, these mutations often die out over time.
This process is part of natural selection, where only beneficial traits are retained.
Q38: Mutant viruses are referred to as ___________ of the original. (a) copies (b) distribution (c) variants (d) organism
Solution:
Ans: (c)
Mutant viruses are essentially variants of the original virus. This means they have undergone changes or mutations.
These variants can have different characteristics compared to the original, such as changes in how they spread or how effective vaccines are against them.
Understanding these variants is crucial for monitoring and controlling viral infections.
In contrast, options like "copies" or "distribution" do not accurately describe the nature of mutant viruses.
Q39: Choose the correct synonym of the given word: Variant (a) Alternative (b) Common (c) Correct (d) Similar
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The word variant refers to something that is different or an alternative version of something.
Among the options, alternative is the best match as it signifies a choice or option that differs from the usual.
Common suggests something that is widespread, which does not align with the meaning of variant.
Correct implies accuracy, and similar indicates likeness, neither of which capture the essence of variant.
Q40: Variants of viruses can also influence the effectiveness of ______. (a) infection (b) spread (c) vaccines (d) treatment
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The effectiveness of vaccines can be significantly affected by the emergence of variants of viruses.
When a virus mutates, it may change enough that the immune response generated by a vaccine is less effective.
Thus, monitoring and adapting vaccines to these changes is crucial for maintaining their efficacy.
Spoken and Written Expression
Choose the Correct Option to Complete the Conversation. (Question 41 to 45)
Q41: Tarun: Please inform him that today's meeting _________ due to the director's illness. It will be rescheduled for next week. (a) has been cancelled (b) are cancelled (c) were cancelled (d) is cancelling
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The correct phrase is "has been cancelled," which indicates that the meeting is no longer happening today.
This phrase is in the present perfect tense, showing that the cancellation is relevant to the present situation.
Options (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect because they do not properly convey the status of the meeting in this context.
Using "are cancelled" suggests a current state, "were cancelled" implies it happened in the past, and "is cancelling" is grammatically incorrect.
Q42: Manju: I was up past my bedtime __________ I tried to keep my voice low. (a) yet (b) through (c) so (d) or
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The correct word to fill in the blank is yet. It indicates a contrast between being up late and trying to keep the voice low.
Using yet shows that despite the effort to be quiet, Manju was still awake past her bedtime.
Other options like so imply a cause-effect relationship, which doesn't fit here.
In summary, yet effectively conveys the contradiction in Manju's situation.
Q43: Shebin: Steven ________ a brand new toaster robot. (a) invented (b) was inventing (c) will invent (d) has invented
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The correct answer is "invented" because it indicates that the action of creating the toaster robot has already been completed in the past.
Option (b) "was inventing" suggests an ongoing action in the past, which does not fit the context.
Option (c) "will invent" implies a future action, which is not relevant here.
Option (d) "has invented" suggests a recent action but does not fit the sentence structure as well as "invented".
Q44: Leo: _________ all practical purposes, they are one and the same thing. (a) Form (b) For (c) But (d) And
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The phrase "for all practical purposes" means that in most situations, two things can be considered the same.
In this context, "for" is the correct word to indicate that we are talking about practical situations.
Using "form," "but," or "and" would not convey the same meaning in this sentence.
Thus, the correct choice is "for," which fits perfectly in the sentence.
Q45: Davis: There is a new bridge that connects the old _________ new stations. (a) or (b) so (c) and (d) too
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The correct word to fill in the blank is "and" because it indicates a connection between two things.
In this case, it connects the old stations with the new stations, showing that both are linked by the bridge.
Using "or" would suggest a choice, which doesn't fit the context of connecting two stations.
Thus, the sentence makes sense as it shows the addition of the new bridge to both the old and new stations.
Achievers Section
Choose the Correct Option to Fill in the Blank. (Question 46 to 47)
Q46: This report is urgent, so please _____ the process as much as you can. (a) habilitate (b) expedite (c) brandish (d) delay
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The word expedite means to hasten or speed up a process. In this context, it suggests that the report needs to be completed quickly.
Choosing habilitate does not fit the context, as it means to provide with the means or skills.
Brandish means to wave something, usually a weapon, and is irrelevant here.
Delay contradicts the urgency of the report, as it implies slowing down the process.
Q47: Her presentation was so lengthy and boring ________ I struggled to keep my eyes open. (a) or (b) that (c) whether (d) when
Solution:
Ans: (b)
The correct answer is that because it introduces a result or consequence of the presentation being long and dull.
This means the length and dullness of the presentation made it difficult for the speaker to stay awake.
Using that connects the two parts of the sentence logically, indicating a cause-and-effect relationship.
The other options do not fit the context of expressing a result from the presentation's quality.
Q48: Choose the correct Synonym for the word. Covetous (a) Benign (b) Costly (c) Envious (d) Altruistic
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The word covetous means having a strong desire for something, often something that belongs to someone else.
The correct synonym is envious, which also means feeling a desire to have what someone else possesses.
Benign means gentle or kindly, which is not related to desire.
Costly refers to something that is expensive, and altruistic means selfless, which do not match the meaning of covetous.
Q49: Choose the Correct Antonym of the Given Word. Abundance (a) Dearth (b) Excess (c) Ardor (d) Zest
Solution:
Ans: (a)
The word abundance means a large quantity of something.
The correct antonym is dearth, which means a lack or scarcity of something.
Options like excess imply having more than enough, which is the opposite of lack.
Ardor and zest refer to enthusiasm or passion, which are unrelated to quantity.
Q50: Choose the Correct Option to Complete the Conversation. Sarita: With today's announcement, she ________ as the leader. (a) appoints (b) will appoint (c) has been appointed (d) has appointed
Solution:
Ans: (c)
The phrase "With today's announcement" indicates that the action has already taken place.
Therefore, the correct choice is "has been appointed," which shows that she is now the leader as a result of the announcement.
Options like "appoints" and "will appoint" suggest future actions, which do not fit the context.
Thus, "has been appointed" is the most suitable completion for the conversation.
