CLAT Test: 2019 Past Year Paper Free Online Test 2026

In this question elimination of options is the easiest approach.

• In option (c) the singular verb ‘has’ is used with the plural noun ‘judges’, so this can be eliminated.
• In option (b), the pronoun is missing before ‘vacation’, while in option (a) the article ‘a’ is used for plural noun ‘cases’ so these can be eliminated as well.

Use elimination of options:

• Option (c): When asking ‘Where is Hari?’, it is common to abstract as “Where’s Hari?” and not “Wheres’ Hari?”. This choice can be eliminated.
• The phrase ‘Here is he’ is wrong in option (a), while in option (d), this is posed incorrectly as a question ‘Is he here’. So these options can be eliminated as well.

• In option (a), the possessive (officer’s) is wrongly used.
• In option (b), the verb ‘does not allow’ is singular while its subject ‘officers’ is plural.
• In option (c), the verb has been made plural incorrectly (do not allows).

The correct choice is (d).

• In options (c) and (d) the conjunction is incorrect – instead of ‘neither-nor’ these have used ‘neither-and’ and ‘neither-but’ respectively.
• In option (b), the verb form is incorrect – the verb should agree with the singular noun ‘machine’ and hence should be ‘is working’.

• In options (a) and (b), the article ‘a’ has been used before a noun that begins with vowel sound (MBA), so these are incorrect.
• In option (d), the conjunction ‘but’ has been incorrectly used as the second phrase is not opposing the first one.

• In option (c), the first verb ‘board’ is in present tense while the second verb ‘realized’ is in the past tense. However, the second action either happens along with or just after the first one so this is clearly incorrect.
• In option (b), this is in reverse i.e. the first verb ‘boarded’ is in past tense, while the second verb ‘realize’ is in present. So this too is incorrect.
• In option (a), the third verb ‘left’ is in simple past and so are the first two verbs ‘boarded’ and ‘realized’. This seems to suggest that all these actions happened at the same time. However, the act of leaving the wallet must have happened in the earlier past, so we must use the past perfect tense ‘had left’.

“We can take either the morning flight or the one in the afternoon” is the correct one amongst all because ‘either and or’ are the correct words to be used together in a sentence.

• In options (a) and (b), the conjunction pairs (‘either-nor’ and ‘neither-or’)are incorrect.
• In option (c), the singular countable nouns ‘flight’ and ‘afternoon’ are not accompanied by articles, so this construction is incorrect.

• In option (a), while the noun ‘management’ is used as a singular (see the pronoun ‘it’), yet the verb ‘have promised’ is in plural.
• In option (c), the verb form in present perfect ‘has promise’ is incorrect – it should be ‘has promised’.
• In option (d), the verb form in simple future tense ‘will considered’ is incorrect – it should be ‘will consider’.

• In option (b), article ‘the’ is missing before the nouns ‘norms’ and ‘country’.
• In option (a), the incorrect phrasal verb ‘set upon’ (which means “attack someone violently”) has been used.
• In option (d) the last verb ‘visits’ is incorrect, as it does not agree with its singular subject ‘country’.

• In option (c), the article ‘An’ has been used along with the plural subject ‘files’, so this is clearly incorrect.
• In option (b), the article ‘A’ has been used along with a noun-phrase (‘important file’) beginning with a vowel sound, so this too is incorrect.
• In option (a), the verb ‘are missing’ does not agree with its singular subject ‘important file’. Note that the additive phrase ‘along with two uniforms’ does not affect the main subject in this sentence.

The central theme of the paragraph is the consequences of plagiarism . Plagiarism refers to the fraudulent use o f the words and ideas of others as if they were one’s own. The very foundation of the theme is laid in sentence B. Thus, sentence B should start the paragraph. “The illegal act” in sentence D refers to plagiarism.
Sentence A and sentence Dare connected. In sentence A , “one of them” refers to “ a few students.” Sentence A refers to one of the students who did not pay much heed to the consequences of plagiarism. This makes DA a pair. Thus, DA follows sentence B. Expulsion refers to the action of forcing someone to leave an organisation. Sentence c states the consequence of plagiarism (the illegal act). Thus, at the end comes sentence c.

'c' is 1st sentence as it gives intro, 'a' is 2nd one as it states about setting of goals and collecting of data which would further be analysed and strategy would be formed so 'b' is 3rd one. At last 'd' which stated the final stage i.e. implication.

We have to form a paragraph,the first line should be the beginning of a topic, so we can see that line [b] shows the starting of the topic and all other sentences are just a follow up of any sentence. 
Now [c] should be the second one as it says "this aspect" and here the only line indicating any aspect is the first one.

The responsible citizen in ‘a’ refers to ‘a person called…’ in ‘c’. Hence a must be after c. This helps us to eliminate choices ‘a’ and ‘c’. db are mandatory pair as the pronoun ‘his’ in ‘d’ refers to ‘one of them was asked to step aside’ in ‘b’. db are together in choice “b” and hence choice “b” is the correct answer.

c introduces the scope of the paragraph ‘Most glaciers are..’ and so the paragraph must start with c. This helps us to eliminate choices “a” and “c”. b must follow a as it tells the final outcome after d and a. This order could be found in choice “d” which is the correct answer.

Inter Vivos means a transaction made between living people, in latin.

Quantum ramifactus means the amount of damages suffered.

‘Malus’ refers to “a financial penalty incurred by a trader, investor, or banker when an investment or deal results in a loss”.

Volvo means "I roll" in Latin, conjugated from volvere.

Charades means an absurd “pretence” intended to create a pleasant.

Out of all options “creditors” is the correct spelling.

There are two right spellings here – “descendant” and “descendent” – that can be used interchangeably as either an adjective (meaning ‘moving downward’ or ‘descending from an ancestor’) or as a noun (simply someone who descends from someone else). While in traditional usage “descendent” is the adjective and “descendant” is the noun the two words are widely used interchangeably, and descendant is the preferred spelling.

It is clear from the statement that the father is saying to his son to wait and research about the companies before applying there and “hold the horses” means to wait before doing anything.

To ‘pull yourself together’ means to “recover control of one's emotions”.

To be a ‘fish out of water’ means that the person “does not feel comfortable in a new environment”.
