Statement I will make sense in the context because here we are talking about the rules of pension for the employees. It may be that the retirement is voluntary or natural but it will not matter in this context. The amount of pension will not depend on that.

Statement II will also make sense here because here we are saying that the pension amount will depend only in case of natural retirement and not voluntary one. It may be a condition in some cases.

II. is a scheme that has stood the test of time so that it can become profitable for the government
III. seems to be delivering well on its financial inclusion objectives

Statement I is not correct since it is not implying the desired meaning here. We are talking about the success of the PMJDY scheme despite the initial hiccups in this regard. There is no relation with inflation. So this one can be eliminated.

Statement II is not correct since the scheme was never expected to bring profits to the government. It is a welfare scheme meant for the welfare of the citizens. Hence, this can be eliminated at once.

Statement III is correct because it implies that the PMJDY scheme was expected to be a weak link for the banking sector in the country but on the reverse, it has proved to be a masterstroke by the government as it has achieved the target of financial inclusion.

This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.

I. with banks issuing notices to farmers seeking repayment of loans.
II. as banks are revoking their loan accounts.
III. for farmers as they have been issued notice by banks regarding repayment of loans.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 14

The phrase that “situation in field level is different” indicates that something contradictory to waiver of loans would be stated next.

Statement I and III represent such contradiction in terms of farmers still receiving notices for repayment of loans in spite of waiver by the government.

But statement II does not show any contradiction as it talks about waiving the loan by revoking loan accounts.

Hence option B is correct.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 15

Direction: In each question a sentence is given followed by a blank. You are provided with three fragments I, II and III. You have to identify which statement/statements can carry forward the given sentence in the most logical way so as to make the sentence coherent and contextually correct.

The scientist was praised by leading journals for his white paper on revolutionising cancer treatment and his work is considered _________________________ .

I. Provocative and path-breaking
II. Exceptional and ground-breaking
III. Intentional and heart-breaking

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 15

Both the terms ‘path-breaking’ and ‘ground-breaking’ mean something new or innovative. Provocative action means to urge or encourage someone to do something. Hence, both I and II fit the sentence contextually, as the first part of the sentence talks about the scientist getting appreciated. But III is negative in tone while the original statement is positive and can hardly be described as ‘heartbreaking’.

Hence, option E is correct.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 16

Directions: In each question a sentence is given followed by a blank. You are provided with three fragments I, II and III. You have to identify which statement/statements can carry forward the given sentence in the most logical way so as to make the sentence coherent and contextually correct.

Q. Although annual inflation rate has hovered on the lower side of 6%, _______________ .

I. it has steadily been trending upwards since 2015.
II. the Central Bank considers those readings to be consistent with its goal of 5-7%.
III. growth forecast has been reduced to 6% from 6.3%.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 16

The statement states that the annual inflation rate has been low. It starts with 'although' which implies the next statement should be in contradiction with the one given.

Statement I: Although annual inflation rate has hovered on the lower side of 6%, it has steadily been trending upwards since 2015. The first statement says inflation has been rising since 2015. This means that although the annual inflation is lower this year yet, as compared to the years since 2015, it has risen. This makes sense and is correct.

Statement II: Although annual inflation rate has hovered on the lower side of 6%, the Central Bank considers those readings to be consistent with its goal of 5-7%.

Statement II says the Central Bank considers those readings to be consistent with its goal of 5-7%.This also looks consistent with the context.

Statement III: Although annual inflation rate has hovered on the lower side of 6%, growth forecast has been reduced to 6% from 6.3%. The last statement, however, does not match with the original statement. When inflation is low, growth slows down. So both the statements are in agreement with each other rather than contradiction.

Hence, option C is correct.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 17

Directions: In each question a sentence is given followed by a blank. You are provided with three fragments I, II and III. You have to identify which statement/statements can carry forward the given sentence in the most logical way so as to make the sentence coherent and contextually correct.

III. The education system is to blame for imparting theoretical knowledge with no emphasis on application of theory.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 17

All the statements agree with the original statement and are correct.

Hence, Option E is the correct answer.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 18

III. around $77bn of venture-capital (VC) investment poured into Chinese ?rms from 2014 to 2016, up from $12bn between 2011 and 2013.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 18

The original statement ends with while which gives us a clue that the last fragment should be a contradiction.

Statement I: A few years ago, Chinese innovation meant copycats and counterfeits while last year China led the world in ?nancial-technology investments and is closing on America, the global pacesetter, in other sectors. This makes sense as it depicts China no longer indulges only in copycatting else there would not be so much investment in technology.

Statement II: A few years ago, Chinese innovation meant copycats and
counterfeits while this allows agile newcomers with business models that
put the customer first, to jump ahead of incumbents more easily in China
than their counterparts in developed markets, the quality is still shoddy.
The statement does not have any meaning and is grammatically incorrect.

Statement III: A few years ago, Chinese innovation meant copycats and
counterfeits while around $77bn of venture-capital (VC) investment poured
into Chinese firms from 2014 to 2016, up from $12bn between 2011 and
2013.
The statement is correct. It shows China transformed from being a hub for
counterfeiting to a hub for VC investments.

Hence, option C is correct.

III. care for her, it will not be in vain.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 19

No matter what conveys that whatever action one may take with respect to something, the result would be inadequate/ there would be some issue.

Statement I: No matter how much we mitigate, some amount of climate change is unavoidable. This is correct.

Statement II: No matter how much we understand him, we will fully grasp the myriad ways in which he has made the sport better. This is incorrect as both statements are in agreement with each other.

Statement III: No matter how much we care for her, it will not be in vain. Again, these statements are not in contradiction and hence incorrect.

Hence, option A is correct.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 20

Directions: In each question a sentence is given followed by a blank. You are provided with three fragments I, II and III. You have to identify which statement/statements can carry forward the given sentence in the most logical way so as to make the sentence coherent and contextually correct.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 20

Statement I: Although rainfall over the entire country falls under the normal category, the monsoon never recovered from the stuttered start which saw progress stall for over 10 days off the western coast. This is correct contextually and grammatically.

Statements II: Just as the distribution of rain has been in sync with IMD scientists' forecast, the monsoon never recovered from the stuttered start which saw progress stall for over 10 days off the western coast. This has no meaning.

Statements III: There is an increasing trend in monsoon rainfall and decrease in post-monsoon rainfall incidentally due to the fact that the monsoon never recovered from the stuttered start which saw progress stall for over 10 days off the western coast. This has no meaning.

Only statement I is correct.

Hence, option B is the answer.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 21

Directions: In each question a sentence is given followed by a blank. You are provided with three fragments I, II and III. You have to identify which statement/statements can carry forward the given sentence in the most logical way so as to make the sentence coherent and contextually correct.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 21

I. Cyber security has become an increasingly large problem for major
financial institutions, prompting major investments and has led to shifting
further attention to security, rather than the economy.
This is grammatically correct but does not really make sense. Cyber security
is an issue for financial Institutions but saying their attention has shifted
away from economy sounds illogical.

Hence, this is incorrect.

II. One indication that the nation is worried about its relationship with USA
is the increasing militarization which has led to shifting attention to
security, rather than economy.
This is correct.

III. Recent racial tensions and conflict in Rakhine as well as international
pressure on human rights are shifting further attention to security, rather
than the economy.

This is correct.

Hence, Option D is correct.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 22

However, this stimulation of the economy precipitates inflation and as inflation increases, the economy goes into reverse and eventually there is a reduction in the money supply along with an increase in the interest rates.

Statement I is correct.

However, this stimulation of the economy precipitates inflation and as inflation increases, the number of donuts you can buy with the same amount of money will increase too.

Statement II is incorrect as the amount of donuts would decrease with increase in inflation.

However, this stimulation of the economy precipitates inflation and as inflation increases, the demand for gold increases as it has a direct relationship with inflation and it acts as an inflation hedge for investors. This is correct.

Hence, option B is correct.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 23

Directions: In each question a sentence is given followed by a blank. You are provided with three fragments I, II and III. You have to identify which statement/statements can carry forward the given sentence in the most logical way so as to make the sentence coherent and contextually correct.

II. cheap food to people and on the other, it is increasing fuel prices.
III. water and power supply in some colonies but on the other side, government has lifted the ban on their development.

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 23

I. On one hand, the government is providing power to industrialists of Vidarbha and Marathwada at concessional rates but on the other, the State Discom MSEDCL is providing free electricity to them.

Whenever we have the expression ‘on one hand..on the other hand..’, we have two contradicting statements for each. Here, both statements agree with each other and hence, the sentence is not logical.

II. On one hand, the government is providing cheap food to people and on the other, it is increasing fuel prices. This is correct.

III. On one hand, the government is providing water and power supply in some colonies but on the other side, government has lifted the ban on their development.

Here too, we have two statements agreeing with one another and hence illogical.

Thus, option A is correct.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 24

From its establishment many decades back, the value of the Canada-U.S. surface trade has increased by 76% in the present day, while that of the U.S.-Mexico surface trade has increased by 372%.

This is correct.

From its establishment many decades back, Magnet has invested till date, over €120m in developing its own advanced telecoms network.

This is correct.

From its establishment many decades back, much of Germany’s political class has worried that the 92 MPs entering the Bundestag could throw a spanner in the works of German democracy.

This does not make sense either grammatically or contextually and is wrong.

Hence, Option C is correct.

Test: Sentence Completion - Question 25

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Completion - Question 25

Over 17 million Brits come to Spain every year and many of them live here or retire here and we want to keep it that way as much as possible. This is correct.

It would have made me much more adventurous and experimenting by then even though and we want to keep it that way as much as possible.

This is meaningless and incorrect.

How much longer do we continue to complain about the lack of a headphone jack before we realize it's a lost cause and we want to keep it that way as much as possible.

This is correct in terms of grammar but illogical. If we complain about something, why would we want to keep it that way as much as possible.

Hence, option A is correct.
