Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 1

Directions: A sentence is given here with a blank and you need to fill the blank choosing the word/words given below. If all the words given can fill the blank appropriately, choose ‘All are correct’ as your answer.

When the going gets tough, the _______ get going.

I. tough
II. gritty
III. strong 

Detailed Solution for Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 1

Everyone must have heard this popular motivational saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Clearly, ‘tough’ has to fill the blank.

Now, both ‘gritty’ and ‘strong’ are synonyms of ‘tough’ and therefore either of them can fill the blank too.

Evidently, any of the three words can be filled in place of the blank.

Option E is hence the correct answer.

Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 2

Directions: A sentence is given here with a blank and you need to fill the blank choosing the word/words given below. If all the words given can fill the blank appropriately, choose ‘All are correct’ as your answer.

The king ________ over the words of his trusted and knowledgeable minister, and asked his guards to arrest the hunter and release the bird.

I. inclined
II. pondered
III. think

Detailed Solution for Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 2

Two very important keywords are here in the sentence - ‘Trusted’ and ‘Knowledgeable’. What do we generally do when some trusted and knowledgeable gives a piece of advice to us? We ‘ponder’ over it. 

Ponder (Verb):

To think about (something) carefully, especially before making a decision or reaching a conclusion.

Clearly, ‘pondered’ is the best suited word here for the blank.

‘Think’ can’t be chosen here because it’s in present form whereas the word required for the blank has to be in past form.

Option D is hence the correct answer.

Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 3

Directions: A sentence is given here with a blank and you need to fill the blank choosing the word/words given below. If all the words given can fill the blank appropriately, choose ‘All are correct’ as your answer.

Being a parent is stressful but _______ , and in order to be a good parent you must make good children.
I. rewarding
II. demanding
III. fulfilling

Detailed Solution for Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 3

Here, the connecter between ‘stressful’ and the blank is ‘but’ which clearly implies that two words with opposite meaning must be there.

‘Demanding’ is a synonym of ‘stressful’ and therefore can be eliminated.

Both ‘rewarding’ and ‘fulfilling’ are synonyms and both are antonyms of ‘stressful’.

Clearly, option B is the correct answer.

Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 4

Directions: A sentence is given here with a blank and you need to fill the blank choosing the word/words given below. If all the words given can fill the blank appropriately, choose ‘All are correct’ as your answer.

I. graft
II. integrate
III. combine

Detailed Solution for Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 4

If one is aware of the meaning of all the three words given here, one can observe that they all are synonyms and all the choices are similar in meaning, we can say that ‘all are appropriate’ for the blank.

Option E is hence the correct answer.

Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 5

Directions: A sentence is given here with a blank and you need to fill the blank choosing the word/words given below. If all the words given can fill the blank appropriately, choose ‘All are correct’ as your answer.

First day at school, children are suddenly thrown into a ________ environment, juggling the pressure of learning new academic skills and establishing relationships with peers.

I. foreign
II. unfamiliar
III. unknown

Detailed Solution for Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 5

Though all the words given here are synonyms, neither of the choice II and III can be picked for the blank because we have the indefinite article ‘a’ right before the blank and the words ‘unfamiliar’ and ‘unknown’ must be used with the article ‘an’ instead of ‘a’.

Clearly, option C is the correct choice.

Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 6

Directions: In this question five alternatives are given under each sentence and you are required to select the most suitable alternative to fill in the blank/blanks in the sentence to make it meaningful.

C. An entirely different __________ yielded the only solid successes in neurological disease.

‘Method’ means procedure and can be used in the second blank but not suitable for the first and the third blank.

‘Mechansim’ means technique and can fit into the first blank but not in other blanks.

‘Plan’ means a logical design or scheme ,is an inappropriate word here and can’t be filled in any blank.

‘Way’ and ‘approach’ have similar meaning to a large extent but way fits only in second and third blank.

Whereas ‘approach’ fits perfectly in all the three blanks.

Approach is “the means of arriving to a certain point.”

Hence option B is correct.

Detailed Solution for Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 7

The blanks here need a noun to be filled with.

Out of the given opions, only disregard and laxity are the nouns and rest other are adjectives.

Hence, options A, B and E get eliminated.

Between options C and D, disregard means to ignore, which is contextually wrong for all the sentences.

Laxity means flexibility in regulation or leninence in behavior. Thus, it perfectly fits in all the three blanks.

Hence option D is correct.

Detailed Solution for Test: Fill in the Blank - 2 - Question 26

Matter is incorrect as it does not really convey the correct meaning. Matter refers to an issue while here the sentence talks about the consequence of falling oil prices.

Decision is incorrect as it was not the decision of the government but a set of external factors which led to the drop in oil prices.

Settled is the opposite and is incorrect.
 
Both uprooted and displaced mean the same and are contextually and grammatically correct.
 
Hence, option E is correct.

Hence, option C is correct.
