SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 1

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. If there is no error choose option 4 ‘No error’ as the answer.

Q. In 2018, the two countries (1)/ had pledged to further deepen ties (2)/ and share a common ground on the trade war.(3)/ No error (4)

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 1

The error lies in part 2 of the sentence as the past perfect tense 'had pledged' is incorrect here and must be replaced with the verb in simple past tense 'pledged'. Past perfect tense is used to denote an activity after which something took place. Eg: She had slept off when I reached home. Simple past tense is used to refer to an activity which took place in the past. It should read as:' In 2018, the two countries pledged to further deepen ties...'

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 2

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. If there is no error choose option 4 ‘No error’ as the answer.

Q. I was shocked (1)/ to see that the children (2)/ had used up all the coffee.(3)/ No error (4)

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 2

The sentence has no error and has been structured correctly. Option 4 is thus the correct answer. The phrasal verb 'use up' means 'to utilize.'

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 3

Fill in the blanks.

Q. There were numerous discrepancies in the norms ________ by Revenue officials in the field survey and analysis.

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 3

The sentence suggests that the blank should contain a verb as it is used with the preposition 'by'.
So, both options 1 and 2 are viable answers.

Looking at the context, the blank should mean 'taken or accepted'.
To adapt- to modify
To adopt- to take as one's own

The norms would have to be adapted 'from' something or adapted 'to' something else. This meaning is not suggested by the sentence.
The only word that gives the intended meaning is 'adopted'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 4

Fill in the blanks.

Q. _______ this was prohibited, the practice continues and urged officials to take steps to disconnect the power supply to the violators.

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 4

There are two different sentences, suggesting that the blank should contain conjunction to join them.

Looking at the context, it is clear that the conjunction should mean 'despite' or 'although'. (As one sentence is negatively dependent on another)

The only word that gives this meaning is 'though'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 5

Tarun exclaimed that the food was great.

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 5

In the direct speech, the quotes must be used and the tense needs to be changed as well. The sentence mentions the word 'the' and not 'that' thus 'this' would be incorrect here. The correct tense here is simple present as the tense in indirect speech is simple past. Option 2 is the correct answer.

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 6

A sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice.

Q. Terry was picked on by the other children due to his race and size.

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 6

The original sentence is in passive voice and so the answer has to be active voice, thus the pattern would be –

Subject (Other children)+ Verb (pick)+ Object (Terry)

Option ‘a’ is eliminated as it changes the position of the subject with the object and vice versa. Option b eliminates one of the factors for which Terry was picked on – ‘his size’ – and thus is incomplete and cannot be the answer. Option c is in the present tense while the original sentence is in the past tense and so the answer too should be in the past tense and so option c too is wrong.
Thus, option d is the correct option.        

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 7

The panic-stricken Pakistani Prime Minister wrote to the president of the United States of America for political assistance and peculiarity aid.

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 7

The correct answer is 'pecuniary aid'. 'Pecuniary' means 'relating to money'.

The meaning of other options:
Peculiar- different to what is normal or expected; strange.

Perennial- lasting or existing for a long or apparently infinite time; enduring or continually recurring.

Provisionary- arranged or existing for the present; provisional.
Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.  

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 8

Below are some alternatives which may be used to improve the sentence by replacing the word in underline. You may choose options 1,2, 3 or 4.

Q. My friends disapproved me from attending my ex-girlfriend's marriage.

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 8

With approval and disapproval, we can't use 'from'. So the given sentence is definitely wrong although it gives us an idea what the sentence seeks to convey. The correct word here is 'dissuade'. It means to discourage someone.
Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.   

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 9

Read the passage and answer the following questions.

Care should be taken when submitting manuscripts to book publishers. A suitable publisher should be chosen, by a study of his list of publications or an examination in the bookshops of the type of books in which he specializes. It is a waste of time and money to send the typescript of a novel to a publisher who publishes no fiction, or poetry to one who publishes no verse, though all too often this is done.

A preliminary letter is appreciated by most publishers, and this should outline the nature and extent of the typescript and enquire whether the publisher would be prepared to read it (writers have been known to send out such letters of inquiry in duplicated form, an approach not calculated to stimulate a publisher’s interest).

It is desirable to enclose the cost of return postage when submitting the typescript and finally it must be understood that although every reasonable care is taken of material in the Publishers’ possession, responsibility cannot be accepted for any loss or damage thereto.

Authors are strongly advised not to pay for the publication of their work. If an MS is worth publishing, a reputable publisher will undertake its publication at his own expense, except possibly for works of an academic nature. In this connection, attention is called to the paragraphs on Self-publishing and vanity publishing, at the end of this section.

These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the following sentence and find out which of the four combinations is correct. Then mark the correct answer from the options given below.

1. Supercomputers are
P. comes from the fact that
Q. they are made up of hundreds of
R. extremely powerful, gigantic
S. computers whose large size
6. thousands of processor cores.

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 24

Whenever a part of a sentence ends with 'are', we can be sure that the next part must begin with a noun or an adjective. Only R follows this condition. There are two options that begin with R, viz, option 3 and 4. So, the next part must be checked to see the order. R only gives adjectives, which means, the next part must begin with a noun. Only S begins with a noun 'computers'. And only option 4 gives us the correct order. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. The complete sentence will be:

Supercomputers are extremely powerful, gigantic computers whose large size comes from the fact that they are made up of hundreds of thousands of processor cores.

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 25

In the given question, the first and the last parts of the sentence have been numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the following sentence and find out which of the four combinations is correct. Then mark the correct answer from the options given below.

1. While reading
P. are important for
Q. pronunciation and listening
R. for written communication,
S. and writing are important
6. oral communication.

Detailed Solution for SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 25

Upon checking the given sentence, we can see that it talks about both oral and written communication. When unsure about the order, each part must be checked against the first part. Only R and S may form meaningful succession. But, if we use R as the second part, the rest of the sentence ceases to be meaningful. So, S must be correct. There are two options 3 and 4, that begin with S. Both conclude that R must be the next part. But, option 4 fails to form a meaningful sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. The complete sentence will be:

While reading and writing are important for written communication, pronunciation and listening are important for oral communication.

SSC CHSL Mock Test -12 - Question 26

Hence, B14U is odd one out.
