SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 1
Save

Directions: Select the most appropriate filler(s) for the blank(s) such that the sentence makes coherent sense.

Q. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art owes much of its collection to the ________ of private collectors who willed their estates to the museum.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 1

The sentence talks about how New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art got its collection from private collectors. These collectors had strong desires for art, which led them to leave their estates to the museum.
Among the options, "yearnings" best fits because it shows this intense longing for art. "Entreat" means asking earnestly, "avidity" means eagerness, and "aversion" means dislike, none of which match the context of the sentence.
So, the right answer is A: yearnings.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 2
Save

Directions: Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Q. Not until a monkey is several years old, ____ to exhibit signs of independence from its mother.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 2

This sentence is a complex one, with a condition ("Not until a monkey is several years old") followed by a consequence ("begin to exhibit signs of independence from its mother").

When you see "Not until" at the beginning of a sentence, it indicates a condition that must be met before something else can happen. In this case, the condition is that the monkey must be several years old before it starts exhibiting signs of independence from its mother.

Now, let's look at the options:

Option A lacks the necessary inversion required after "Not until". Option C doesn't fit grammatically with the structure of the sentence, and option D is a gerund phrase which doesn't correctly convey the action of the monkey actually starting to exhibit signs of independence.

Option B, "does it begin", correctly utilizes inversion, which is required after "Not until" to form a grammatically correct sentence. The subject ("it") comes after the auxiliary verb ("does"), making this the correct choice.

So, the correct answer is B: does it begin.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 3
Save

Directions: Choose the word that best expresses the meaning of the given word.

PERFIDY

Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 3

Perfidy means deceitfulness and betrayal. Treachery, the correct synonym, also signifies betrayal and dishonesty. Other options like "credence" (belief), "dissent" (disagreement), and "lying" (not telling the truth) do not capture the essence of perfidy. Thus, C: Treachery is the closest in meaning.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 4
Save

Directions: Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Q. A few years ago, a local peasant was ________ with the ________ head of an antique piece.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 4
The sentence suggests that the local peasant was caught red handed. So, the best possible answer is (A). 'Apprehended' means 'arrested (someone) for a crime' and 'pilfered' means 'stolen'; these make the sentence logical.
SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 5
Save

Directions: Select the most appropriate filler(s) for the blank(s) such that the sentence makes coherent sense.

Q. Weakened by a demanding travel schedule, the aging politician revealed a/an ________ he had never shown during his fervent campaign.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 5

The sentence tells you that the politician revealed weakness, which he had never shown in the rest of his fervent (or zealous, eager) campaign. Thus, the word like weakness or lethargy or confusion - something that might be a symptom of weakness, would characterize the blank. Of all the options, 'lassitude' in (D) fits our prediction as it means weariness. Hence, (D) is the answer.

  • Clemency means mercy.

  • Obstinacy means stubbornness.

  • Reticence means hesitation in speaking.

  • Verbosity means excessive wordiness.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 6
Save

Directions: The following passage consists of five sentences. The sentences have been jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R, S, and T. You are required to find out the proper sequence and then answer the question.

P. 'Most of the pedestrians who are brought to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Trauma Centre belong to the lower socio-economic strata,' noted the report.

Q. Therefore, the report has warned that while metro cities record very high rates of accidents, smaller cities are fast catching up.

R. This has been revealed in the latest assessment of road accident risk and accident hotspots in Delhi by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), which recently released this data at a workshop titled 'Our Safe Right to Way - Addressing safety and accessibility in Indian cities.

S. According to the report, Delhi ranks the highest in terms of fatal accidents and in the number of pedestrians and cyclists falling victim to road crashes.

T. Pedestrians and cyclists have emerged as the most vulnerable group on Delhi roads.

Q. Which of the following should be the FIRST sentence after the rearrangement?
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 6

The correct sequence is TRSPQ.

After the rearrangement, the first sentence (T) introduces the topic - pedestrians and cyclists being the most vulnerable group. The following sentence (R) refers to this as a revelation in the latest assessment by CSE. The next sentence (S) quotes the report/assessment by saying, 'According to the report...' The following sentence (P) further quotes this report by telling us what this report has noted, i.e. the economic strata of the pedestrian victims. The last sentence then adds to the information about Delhi (metro city) - smaller cities are also catching up.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 7
Save

Pick the odd one out.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 7

In this question, we're asked to identify the word that doesn't belong with the others. Let's examine each option:

A: Kindle - To ignite or start a fire. Figuratively, it can mean to arouse or inspire something, like emotions or interest.
B: Teach - To impart knowledge or skill to someone through instruction or example.
C: Produce - To bring forth or create something, whether it's goods, crops, or ideas.
D: Suppress - To prevent or restrain something from happening or being expressed, often forcibly or against its natural course.

Among these options, "Suppress" stands out because it has a different connotation compared to the others. While "Kindle," "Teach," and "Produce" all involve initiating or encouraging something, "Suppress" involves inhibiting or restraining it. It goes against the theme of stimulation or creation present in the other words.

So, the correct answer is D: Suppress.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 8
Save

Directions: The given sentence has four underlined words or phrases, marked as (1), (2), (3) and (4). Identify the one underlined word or phrase that must be changed in order for the sentence to be correct.

Q. The badger is a (1) clumsy creature, (2) unable to climb (3) trees, swim or (4) moving very fast.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 8

There is a parallelism error. All the activities are stated in the first form. So, to maintain parallelism with 'climb' and 'swim,' convert 'moving' to 'move'.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 9
Save

Directions: Choose the word or set of words that best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole when inserted in the sentence.

Q. ____ we are good friends, his views differ ______ mine on many issues.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 9

Although/from

This is the best pair of words that complete the sentence meaningfully. The words 'good friends' and 'views differ' create contrast; thus, 'although' (even though) fits in the first blank. The preposition 'from' is used with 'differ' - one differs from the other. Option C is correct.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 10
Save

Directions: Select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the given idiom/phrase.

To cut the Gordian knot
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 10

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 12
Save

Directions: Choose the alternative that best describes the meaning of the given idiom/phrase.

To steal a march
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 12

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 13
Save

IMPETUOUS
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 13

Q. The woman I saw in the theatre looked charming.

Save

Directions: Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Q. He was of a charitable disposition, but he did not like his relatives trying to live _______ him without trying to earn their living.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 15
The phrase 'without trying to earn their living' indicates living on the money or income of someone else. So, 'live off' which means "depend on as a source of income or support" is the correct usage.
SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 16
Save

Directions: What will come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?

2.5, 1.25, ?, 1.875, 3.75
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 16
The series follows the following pattern

2.5 0.5 = 1.25

1.25 1 = 1.25

1.25 1.5 = 1.875

1.875 2 = 3.75

Thus, 1.25 is the missing term.

The angle made by the minute-hand of a clock in going from 4:45 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. is
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 20
Angle made by a minute-hand in 60 minutes = 360°

Angle made by a minute-hand in 1 minute = 360° / 60 = 6°

4:45 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. is a time period of 90 minutes.

So, angle made by the minute-hand in this time period = 90 × 6° = 540°

Hence, option (1) is correct.

Directions: In the problem below, a question is given followed by two arguments, numbered I and II. Read the arguments carefully and decide which of them is/are 'strong'. Choose the correct option accordingly.

Arguments:

I. Yes, this will help in equitable distribution of earnings amongst all the employees.

II. No, this will reduce the interest of employees in seeking promotion.

Q: Should there be a maximum ceiling imposed on the earnings of an individual in an organisation?
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 25
In reality, a maximum ceiling will reduce the scope of getting higher salary for those who work hard and contribute very much in an organisation's profit. Hence, argument I (equitable) is not true. Therefore, it is not strong. Argument II is a strong argument because monetary benefit is a major motivating factor for promotions; with a pay-ceiling, there will lack of such motivation.

Directions: In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and the assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.

Statement: The patient's condition would not improve even after operation.

Assumptions:

I. The patient cannot be operated upon in this condition.

II. The patient can be operated upon in this condition.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 26

- The statement suggests that the patient's condition won't improve even after an operation.
- This implies that the patient can undergo surgery despite their condition.
- So, assumption II, stating the patient can be operated upon, is implicit.
- Assumption I, suggesting the patient cannot undergo surgery, isn't supported by the statement.
- Thus, option B is correct.

Directions: In the following question, a statement is followed by two conclusions labelled (I) and (II). Identify which of the given conclusions can be logically drawn from the statement.

Statement: Again, a lineman was electrocuted and seriously injured while he was restoring power supply at a transformer on the Trimu road.

Conclusions:

I. Linemen don't practice caution while working.

II. On site safety measures for linemen are inadequate.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 29

Conclusion I: Linemen don't practice caution while working.
Logical Analysis:

  • The statement does not provide any direct information about whether the lineman practiced caution or not.
  • There could be many factors leading to the accident, such as faulty equipment, unexpected power surges, or inadequate safety protocols, none of which are mentioned in the statement.
  • Just because an accident occurred, it is not logically valid to assume that it happened solely due to the lineman’s lack of caution. There could be external factors beyond his control.

Therefore, Conclusion I does not logically follow from the statement because there is insufficient information to conclude that the lineman (or linemen in general) was not cautious.

Conclusion II: On-site safety measures for linemen are inadequate.

Logical Analysis:

  • The statement mentions that this incident happened "again," which implies a possible pattern of similar incidents. Repeated occurrences could suggest that the safety conditions may not be optimal.
  • If on-site safety measures were adequate and effective, frequent accidents of this nature would be less likely to happen, especially considering the known dangers associated with electrical work.
  • Given the recurring nature of the incident, it is reasonable to infer that safety protocols or measures might need improvement to prevent future accidents.

Therefore, Conclusion II can logically follow from the statement because the repeated nature of the incident suggests a potential inadequacy in the safety measures provided.

SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 30

Directions: In this question, a statement is followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. Consider everything in the statement to be true and decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Statement: Since the new building is ready, the chairman of Bank XYZ has directed its administrative section to plan for shifting its headquarters to the new building.

Courses of action:

I. Administrative department should deliver infrastructural facilities for the new building immediately.

II. Administrative department should invite quotations from movers and packers.
Detailed Solution for SNAP Mock Test - 1 (New Pattern) - Question 30

The statement mentions that the chairman has directed the administrative section to plan for shifting the headquarters to the new building. This implies that the administrative department should focus on delivering infrastructural facilities for the new building immediately. This is necessary to ensure a smooth transition and functioning of the bank in the new building.

On the other hand, inviting quotations from movers and packers is not directly mentioned in the statement and is not necessary for the administrative department to pursue at this stage. Therefore, course of action II does not logically follow.
