SSC MTS Practice Test -9 - SSC MTS / SSC GD MCQ

The error is in the first part of the sentence. “I” should be used instead of “Me”. In the given sentence ‘She and me’ are the subject of the sentence and they decide in something, whereas in order to use ‘me’, the person being referred to, has to be the object of the sentence. Thus, “me” should not be used with “she”, “I” should be used with “she”.
Hence option 1 is the correct option. 

The error lies in the phrase ‘seeks to organize, creating, capture, or’ where the word ‘creating’ is a misfit. The words ‘organize’, ‘creating’, and ‘capture’ indicate one sequence of actions and would synchronize if the word ‘creating’ would be used in its form of ‘create’. The phrase would be correct as - ‘seeks to organize, create, capture or’.

The sentence uses the form ‘called upon’, which is correct and needs no improvement.

Called upon is a phrasal verb which means to ask formally for someone to do something.

None of the other alternatives make the sentence meaningful.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Out of the given phrases, Q seems to be the perfect one after ‘dressed in’
Here P containing the subject ‘Sheela’ comes after Q. Also R satisfies the position after P meaningfully and grammatically.
Hence the correct option is QPR.
Correct sentence: Dressed in an elegant gown, Sheela showed off her natural beauty with a simple touch-up.

The sequence PQ gives a grammatically correct meaning but is incomplete structurally.
Both R and P individually fit immediately after the given part of the sentence. But RPQ does not make sense while PQR does.
Hence the correct option is PQR.
Correct sentence: Perhaps it is the last best performance that matters most in our society.

'Intuition' indicates a perception of truth. Out of all the given options, 'foreknowledge' indicates the advanced knowledge of a happening, 'atrocious' means horrifyingly wicked, 'acknowledge' means recognize something, and 'Institution' is an organization or an establishment.

In terms of similarity of meaning, only 'foreknowledge' is the closest to 'Intuition'.

Aggressive represents a vigorously energetic entity or individual. The meaning has been carried forward by only ‘combative’, which represents a ready to fight entity or individual.

The word 'loss' gives us the sense that the word here must convey a negative meaning thus 'tragic' which means 'sad' is the correct answer. The word 'hoax' means 'a humorous or malicious deception' and does not fit in this context.The word 'rampant' means 'uncontrolled' and is not the correct word. The word 'smeared' means 'having spots or marks' and is irrelevant here. Thus option 3 is the correct answer.

The sentence is constructed in simple past and it talks about an action that had taken place in the past. Thus option 1 is the correct answer. The other tense forms are incorrect.

The correct tense here is simple past as it was an activity that took place. Thus option 4 is the correct answer. Option 2 might seem to be correct but is not as past perfect is used to denote an action that got completed much before than some other action. The verb 'was' is correct according to the subject verb agreement rules. 

The correct preposition here is 'in' as degree is earned 'in' something. Thus option 1 is the correct answer.

Since the sentence mentions that she had become a naturalized citizen the word 'immigrating' which means 'come to live permanently in a foreign country' is the correct answer. The word 'expelling' means 'force (someone) to leave a place' and is incorrect here. The word 'accepting' does not make any sense. Option 4 too is not the best choice.

The correct answer is Option 4, i.e. 'Illustrate'.
As in the sentence, the phrase 'two examples' have been given and what they 'demonstrate' is mentioned, so the word that substitutes 'demonstrate' is 'illustrate'.
'Illustrate' means 'serve as an example of'.

'Somnambulism' is 'sleepwalking'.​

The correct answer is Option 2, i.e. 'Indictment'.

The given sentence is in Active voice.
The sentence structure is: 
Subject + verb (2nd form) + object
Passive form is:
Subject + was/were + verb (3rd form) + by+ object
So, the correct passive voice is:
The parliament building was stormed by the demonstrators in Kurdistan.

Here the sentence is in direct speech and doesn’t have an object. So, reporting verb ‘said’ remains as it is in indirect speech.

The tense is ‘simple past' as marked by the use of ‘topped’ and is changed to past perfect ‘had + topped’.

She is used in place of I in the other part of the sentence.

Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

The given sentence is an example of Active voice and it's tense is simple past. The rule for a passive form for a simple past is Object + was + verb (3rd form) + by + Subject, and option 2 concurs with this rule. 
So, option 2 is the correct answer. 

The word ‘auspicious’ is a positive word in terms of meaning. It means favourable. Out of the given words, ‘favourable’, ‘promising’, and ‘optimistic’, all of them convey positive meanings.
‘Sinister’ means ominous which is the exact opposite of favourable. Hence, the correct answer is 1. 

‘Exodus’ is a mass departure of people. ‘Influx’ is the arrival or entry of a large number of people. These two words are exact opposites. Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer.

‘Departure’ is the synonym of 'exodus'.

‘Revival’ and ‘restoration’ are used for ‘improvement in condition’ or ‘return to a former place’. Therefore, option 1 or Influx is the antonym of the given word ‘Exodus’.

The pattern followed here is as follows:

Hence, “SXV” is the odd one among given alternatives.

1. Beijing → Beijing is the capital of China.
2. Dhaka → Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh.
3. Germany → Germany is the country.
4. Vienna → Vienna is the capital of Austria.
Hence, Germany is the odd one.

If we write English alphabets from Z - A order and denote them with numbers from 1 to 26, then we have the following table:

So, the pattern followed here is,
E → 22^th letter → 22 + 2 = 24
T → 7^th letter → 7 + 2 = 9
Similarly,
K → 16^th letter → 16 + 2 = 18
O → 12^th letter → 12 + 2 = 14
→ K × O : 18 × 14
Hence, 18 × 14 is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is as follows:
36 – 25 = 11 → 11² = 121
25 – 16 = 9 → 9² = 81
16 – 9 = 7 → 7² = 49
Similarly,
9 – 4 = 5 → 5² = 25
Hence, 25 is the correct answer.

Each number in the series is obtained by multiplying the previous number by a prime number.
The pattern followed in the series is,
3 → 3 × 3 → 9 → 9 × 5 → 45 × 7 → 315 × 11 → 3465 × 13 → 45045
Hence, 45045 is the correct answer.
