SNAP Mock Test - 6 (New Pattern) - CAT MCQ

- The word "seminal" means highly original and influencing the development of future events.
- In this sentence, the speaker is referring to a crucial or influential question about whether he will accept the presidency or not.
- Therefore, the most appropriate word to fill in the blank is "seminal."

The idiom "talk someone's ear off" means to talk excessively or for a long time, often boring or annoying the listener.
In the sentence, the speaker is avoiding talking to Alice because she talks too much. So, the best option is D, "Talks a lot," as it accurately captures the meaning of the idiom.
The other options don't convey the idea of talking excessively, which is the key meaning of the idiom. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.

Other options don't fit the context.

Option 1, if you manage to escape from serious danger or trouble, you save your neck.

Option 3, when someone saves face, they manage to avoid humiliation or embarrassment and preserve their dignity and the respect of others.

Option 4, to save the blushes is to do something to prevent someone feeling embarrassed.

The word "vivid" means producing strong, clear images or powerful feelings. The opposite of "vivid" would be something that is unclear or lacking clarity.
Among the options: A. "Dubious" means doubtful or questionable, which doesn't convey the opposite meaning. B. "Blurry" is the correct opposite, as it means lacking clear or sharp images. C. "Explicit" means clear or detailed, which is not opposite to "vivid." D. "Unpopular" means not liked or favored, which doesn't convey the opposite meaning either.

Therefore, option B, "Blurry," is the best opposite to "vivid" because it represents the lack of clarity or sharpness.

In the given word pair, "disappointment" leads to "frustration" because when something doesn't meet our expectations, it can make us feel both disappointed and frustrated. Similarly, "pain" often leads to "tears" because when we experience physical or emotional pain, it can often result in crying or shedding tears.

Let's analyze the options: A. "Success : Failure" - While success and failure are related, they don't have the same cause-and-effect relationship as disappointment and frustration. B. "Quarrel : Argument" - These are synonyms, not related in a cause-and-effect manner. C. "Pain : Tears" - This is the correct answer. Like disappointment leads to frustration, pain often leads to tears. D. "Primary : Secondary" - This pair doesn't show a cause-and-effect relationship, but rather a hierarchical one.

Therefore, option C, "Pain : Tears," is the best choice as it represents a similar cause-and-effect relationship as "Disappointment : Frustration."

In the original sentence, the speaker's friend expresses sorrow about the loss of his cousin's mother using the word "Alas." When we convert this sentence into indirect speech, we need to change the tense and perspective appropriately.
Hence, (3) is the correct option.

Hence, the answer is option C.

The word "serene" means calm, peaceful, and untroubled. So, the opposite of "serene" would be something that is chaotic, disturbed, or agitated.

Now, let's analyze the options: A. "Corrupt" - This word means dishonest or immoral, which doesn't convey the opposite meaning of "serene." B. "Agitated" - This is the correct opposite, as it means disturbed or excited, which is contrary to being calm or serene. C. "Poor" - This word means lacking wealth or resources, which doesn't relate to the opposite meaning of "serene." D. "Confused" - This word means unclear or disoriented, which doesn't convey the opposite meaning of "serene."

Therefore, option B, "agitated," is the best choice as it represents the opposite meaning of "serene" by indicating disturbance or excitement.

Hence, option C is right choice.

- The study of election trends involves analyzing voting patterns and outcomes.
- Among the options:
A. "Politicology" - This isn't a recognized term. The correct term is "political science" which is a broader field than just studying election trends.
B. "Electoral-morphology" - This isn't a standard term and doesn't accurately represent the study of election trends.
C. "Psephology" - This is the correct answer. It specifically refers to the statistical study of elections and voting behaviour.
D. "Political Sociology" - This is the study of the relationship between politics and society, which is broader than just analyzing election trends.
- Therefore, option C, "Psephology," is the best choice as it accurately represents the study of election trends through statistical analysis.

Hence, the answer is option A.

- Flamboyant is the correctly spelt word out of the options given.
- The correct spelling is characterized by being showy, stylish, or extravagant in appearance or behavior.
- The other options provided, such as "Flameboyant", "Flamboyent", and "Flambayant", are incorrect spellings of the word.

To solve this problem, let's analyze the given expression: 'R # J % K @ L ! T'.

1. 'R # J': This means 'R is the mother of J'.
2. 'J % K': This means 'J is the sister of K'.
3. 'K @ L': This means 'K is the wife of L'.
4. 'L ! T': This means 'L is the brother of T'.

From the given expressions, we can deduce the following relationships:

• J is the sister of K.
• L is the brother of T.

Now, to find out how K is related to T, we look at the relationship between J (K's sibling) and T (L's sibling). Since J is K's sister and L is T's brother, it means that K (J's sibling) is married to L (T's sibling).

Therefore, K is the sister-in-law of T.

So, the correct answer is option A: Sister-in-law.

72.5 + 13.5 = 86

86 + 27 = 113

113 + 54 = 167

167 + 108 = 275

275 + 216 = 491

491 + 432 = 923

So, 168 should be replaced with 167.

The first digits of the successive terms are 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, the second digits are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, the third digits are 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and the last digits are alternately 7 and 8. So, the missing term is 7697.

Triangle ABC is formed and the shortest distance is AB.

⇒ AB² = AC² + BC² = 6² + 3² = 36 + 9 = 45

⇒ AB = 3√5 km

1600 years have 0 odd days, and 300 years have 1 odd day.

86 years contain 21 leap years and 65 ordinary years and therefore, 42 + 65 = 107 or 2 odd days.

1986 years give 0 + 1 + 2 = 3 odd days

Number of days from 1st January, 1987 to 15th August, 1987 = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15

= 227, i.e. 3 odd days

Total number of odd days = 3 + 3 = 6

The day on 15th August, 1987 was a Saturday.

M ≥ N > P ≤ K = F < S

Now, let us check the conclusions:

(I) S > P (This is true because S > F = K ≥ P)

(II) N < S (Relationship cannot be established)

Hence, only conclusion I follows.

No marble is placed below marble P. Three marbles are placed between marbles K and J.

Marble K is placed immediately above marble L. Hence, possibility 4 gets eliminated.

Marble L is placed immediately above marble N. Hence, possibility 3 gets eliminated.

More than two marbles are placed between N and P. Hence, possibility 2 gets eliminated.Only one marble is placed between L and M.

Three marbles (J, O and P) are placed below marble M.

No marble is placed below marble P. Three marbles are placed between marbles K and J.

Marble K is placed immediately above marble L. Hence, possibility 4 gets eliminated.

Marble L is placed immediately above marble N. Hence, possibility 3 gets eliminated.

More than two marbles are placed between N and P. Hence, possibility 2 gets eliminated.Only one marble is placed between L and M.

From the figure it can be seen that L is placed immediately below K.

No marble is placed below marble P. Three marbles are placed between marbles K and J.

Marble K is placed immediately above marble L. Hence, possibility 4 gets eliminated.

Marble L is placed immediately above marble N. Hence, possibility 3 gets eliminated.

More than two marbles are placed between N and P. Hence, possibility 2 gets eliminated. Only one marble is placed between L and M.

Marble K is placed at the top.

An "arena" is a place where conflicts, such as battles or competitions, take place. So, the relationship between "arena" and "conflict" is that an arena is a location or venue where conflicts occur.

Now, let's analyze the options:

A. Utopia : Place - This doesn't match the relationship between "arena" and "conflict" because utopia is a concept or idea, not a physical location where conflicts occur.

B. Asylum : Pursuit - This doesn't match the relationship either. "Asylum" refers to a place of refuge or protection, not necessarily a location where conflicts happen.

C. Mirage : Reality - This doesn't match the relationship either. A "mirage" is an optical illusion, and "reality" is the actual state of things, but they are not related in terms of being a location or venue for something.

D. Forum : Discussion - This matches the relationship between "arena" and "conflict" because a "forum" is a place or venue where discussions take place. Just like an arena is a place for conflict, a forum is a place for discussion.

Therefore, option D, "Forum : Discussion," bears the same relationship as the original pair of words, making it the correct choice.

Analysis:

- The statement mentions that a major part of the local market in the city was gutted due to a short-circuit, indicating a safety hazard.
- It is evident that the current electrical fittings in the establishments were not up to standard, leading to the short-circuit and subsequent damage.

Courses of Action:

I. The government should issue strict guidelines for all establishments regarding installation and maintenance of electrical fittings.
- This course of action is logical as it addresses the root cause of the problem, which is the faulty electrical fittings.
- By issuing strict guidelines, the government can ensure that all establishments follow proper safety protocols to prevent such incidents in the future.

II. The government should relocate all the markets to the outskirts of the city.
- This course of action does not directly address the issue of faulty electrical fittings that led to the short-circuit.
- Relocating the markets to the outskirts of the city may not necessarily solve the problem, as the issue lies with the electrical safety standards rather than the location of the markets.

Conclusion:
- Only Course of Action I follows logically, as it directly addresses the cause of the problem and aims to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The pattern appears to be: HIJHH repeating continuously.

Now, let's look at the options:

A. IHJI - This fits the pattern as it completes the sequence: HIJHH. So, placing IHJI at the gaps in the series, we get: HIJHHIJHHIJHHIJH, which matches the given series.

B. HIHI - This doesn't fit the pattern. It doesn't continue the sequence in the given series.

C. IHJI - This fits the pattern as well and is similar to option A. So, it's a valid contender.

D. HJHJ - This doesn't fit the pattern. It doesn't continue the sequence in the given series.

Based on the analysis, option A and C fit the pattern. However, considering the continuity and repetition of the sequence, option A, IHJI, is the correct choice, completing the series as HIJHHIJHHIJHHIJH. Therefore, option A is the right answer.

On Friday evening, at 5 o`clock, Atul`s watch will be minutes ahead of the actual time.

- The statement suggests fishermen replace their plastic nets with rubber ones for better catch.
- Assumption 1, stating all fishermen use only plastic nets, isn't implied as the statement doesn't specify all fishermen exclusively use plastic nets.
- However, Assumption 2, implying rubber nets are readily available to fishermen, is implicit.
- The statement's directive to switch to rubber nets wouldn't make sense if rubber nets weren't easily accessible.
- Therefore, option B, "Only assumption 2 is implicit," logically follows from the statement.

- The students raised concerns over the extremely high fees charged by the private colleges.
- As a result of the concerns raised by the students, the government decided to take action and fixed a limit on the fees that a private college can charge.
- Therefore, statement II is the cause (concerns raised by students) and statement I is its effect (government fixing a limit on fees).
- This shows that statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
