Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 1

The prefix ’intra’ stands for ‘within’. Hence, [3].

Match the part of speech to their usage :

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 2

As an adjective, 'down' implies 'of or relating to a train(s) from a more important place or one regarded as higher.' Thus, 'down' is used as an adjective in 8. As a preposition, 'down' implies 'in a descending direction'.
Thus, 'down' is a preposition in 5. As a noun, 'down' means 'a downward movement or descent'. So, it is used as a noun in 6. When 'down' is used as a verb, it means 'to throw down or subdue'. So, 'down' is a verb in 7.
Thus, the correct order is 1-8, 2-5, 3-6, 4-7. Hence, [1].

Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 4

Match the following sentences.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 4

The easiest match that can be made is 1-8. In 8 ‘above’ describes the information. This narrows down the options to [1] and [3]. The only possible noun usage is in 5, though it makes sense only if ‘above’ is taken to mean ‘heaven’. Both 6 and 7 use ‘above’ as a preposition. So, actually there is no perfect answer. As [1] contains three correct matches, it can be marked as the answer. Hence, [1]

Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 5

Choose the segment with the error. If there is no error, mark ‘d

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 5

The error is in part [2] of the sentence. ‘Constitute breakfast’ would be appropriate. You are required to read the whole as one sentence., i.e., Idli and Sambar constitute breakfast in the South. Hence, [2]

Choose the sentence where the underline word is used appropriately.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 7

The underlined word is used correctly only in sentence [4]. The correct sentences for the remaining options are – [1] Whose car are you planning to borrow? [2] Who’s planning to have a birthday party? [3] He is the person whom you met at the junction. Hence, [4]

Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 8

1. Can you imagine his forgetting his own birthday?
2. Can you imagine him forgetting his own birthday?

Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 9

1. Recently I read about a unique wedding that took place in the newspaper.
2. Recently I read in the newspaper about a unique wedding that took place.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 9

Sentence 1 is clearly incorrect as it seems to suggest that the wedding took place in the newspaper. Since the directions for the question do not specify if errors of punctuation have to be considered for deciding whether the sentence is correct or not, we will consider sentence 2 to be correct. In case errors of punctuation were to be considered, the correct sentence would have required a comma after ‘recently’. Hence, [2]

Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 10

Complete the given sentence by choosing the correct phrase :

Q. You cannot succeed unless

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 10

Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 11

Re-arrange the scrambled segments in logical order to make a complete sentence.
1. to a place where more opportunities are available

4. because it takes one outside one's own community
5. English is a language of opportunities

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 11

The sentence can start only with 5 as it introduces the subject of the sentence. Only option [4] begins the sequence with 5. Hence, [2]

Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 12

Choose the best construction:

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 12

This is a conditional sentence as it starts with the ‘if’ clause. The correct form of writing such sentences is –If + past perfect + would/might/could have. So, only sentence [4] is correct. Hence, [4]

Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 13

‘A way to deal with frozen feelings’

Every child experiences all that happens around him with total awareness. In the rst seven years, the child's brain is like a sponge, taking in all sensory inputs and building his idea of his surroundings. As long as the environment is safe, the child learns with incredible speed. However, when the environment is scary or stressful, the child unlearns the past learnings just as rapidly. In the early years of every child's life, whenever there is shock, violence, fear or pain, these intense emotions are imprinted deeply into the memory. Whenever the same activity or situation is repeated, the nervous system and body subconsciously re-experience the memory of that trauma. Any emotional situation that takes us out of the present and into the past means that whenever the same kind of emotion crops up later in our life, we return to the past for our reference point. If that point was at age three, we nd ourselves behaving like a three-year-old. We feel childish and we behave childishly. Our feelings are the cause of this 'glitch' in our learning process. We know we should be able to make a positive change, but that doesn't change anything. The process of change need not be traumatic. We couldn't have done any better because we didn't know how to. But we should realise that was then and this is now! We can choose to choose again. It's up to us. It's our movie!

Q. Identify the correct sentence, based on the paragraph

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for AILET - 4 - Question 19

The first line of the last paragraph states that the process of change need not be traumatic, so [1] is clearly incorrect. [2] which is taken from the third paragraph is correct.

So Tiziano continued to draw. But one thing troubled him greatly—all the pictures he made were black, drawn with his piece of black charcoal. Yet around him glowed a perfect glory of colour—the beautiful blue of the sky; the delicate, changing pink of the great jagged peaks above him; the red, blue and yellow wild flowers; the golden brilliance of sunshine; and the rich, soft, mellowed tints in the old houses of the town. Colour! Tiziano loved it more than anything else in the world. Yet, how was he to reproduce it and get it into his pictures? He had no money to buy paints, and paints were expensive in those days. His father, who was a mountaineer, would never listen to anything so foolish as buying paints for a boy when the family needed food, clothing and fuel to keep them warm. Let Tiziano make shoes! That was a trade for a man! All the same, Tiziano continued to dream of painting, and to wonder if there was not some way he could make a picture in colours. The day before the festival of flowers; Tiziano chanced to pass the spot where the garlands had been woven the evening before. Suddenly, he noticed stains on the stones of the walk before the inn. They were every colour that a painter needed! In a moment the feast and the fun went out of Tiziano’s mind. Catarina saw her brother hastening out of the village. She ran to bring him back and found him in a meadow looking like a variegated quilt from the brilliance of the wild flowers. “Tiziano!” she called, “Why are you running away from the feast?” The boy did not answer for a moment. Too often he had been teased by his family and the villagers for the crazy dreams in his head. At last he answered bluntly, “I have found that the stains of flowers make colours and I am going to paint a picture.”

Nationalism, of course, is a curious phenomenon, which at a certain stage in a country’s history gives life, growth and unity at the same time. It has a tendency to create oneness, because one thinks of one’s country as something different from the rest of the world. One’s perspective changes and continuously thinking of one’s own struggles and virtues and failing to come to the conclusion of others thoughts. The result is that the same nationalism, which is the symbol of growth people becomes a symbol of a cessation of that growth in the mind. Nationalism, when it becomes successful, sometimes goes on spreading in an aggressive way and becomes a danger, internationally. Whatever line of thought you follow you arrive at the conclusion that some kind of balance must be found. Otherwise something that was good can turn into evil. Culture, which is essentially good becomes not only static, but aggressive and something that breeds conflict and hatred when looked at from a wrong point of view. How are you to find a balance, I don’t know. Apart from the political and economic problems of the age, perhaps, this is the greatest problem today because behind it there is a tremendous search for something that it cannot find. We turn to economic theses because they have an undoubted importance. It is a folly talk of culture or even of God when human beings starve and die. Before one can talk about anything else one must provide the normal essentials of life to human beings. That is where economics comes in. Human beings today are not in the mood to tolerate this suffering, starvation and inequality when they see that the burden is not equally shared, leaving others to profit while they only bear the burden.
