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

Directions: Select the correct word/phrase to complete a grammatical or idiomatic sentence.

Q. What were their chances of eliciting any worthwhile information from such a/an __________ uncooperative witness?

Detailed Solution: Question 1

The keywords are 'uncooperative witness'.

  1. Obstinate: Stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or course of action, even when it might be wrong or unreasonable.
  2. Dangerously: In a manner that poses a threat or risk of harm.
  3. Madly: In a wild, reckless, or frenzied manner; often associated with extreme emotions or actions.
  4. Maliciously: With the intention or desire to harm or cause trouble to others.

'Obstinately' means 'unreasonably determined, especially to act in a particular way and not to change at all'. Only option 1 fits in the context.

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 2

Directions: Select the word/phrase that most closely defines the word given.

IMPECUNIOUS

Detailed Solution: Question 2

The word ''impecunious'' means having little or no money.

  1. Destitute - This word closely matches the meaning of impecunious, as it refers to extreme poverty or lacking the means of support.
  2. Esteemed - Esteemed means respected or admired, which is the opposite of impecunious.
  3. Deferential - Deferential refers to showing respect or submission to another's authority, which is unrelated to the lack of money implied by impecunious.
  4. Affluent - Affluent means wealthy or having an abundance of resources, which is the opposite of impecunious.

So, option 1 is the correct answer.

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 3

Directions: Rearrange the following five sentences (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and then answer the given question.

A. At just over 260 cubic km per year, the country uses 25 percent of all groundwater extracted globally, ahead of the USA and China.

B. And because 70 percent of the water supply in agriculture today is groundwater, it will remain the lifeline of India's water supplies for years to come.

C. Despite this, we have an extremely poor understanding of groundwater, which impacts both policy and practice.

D. A majority of India's water problems are those relating to groundwater—water that is found beneath the earth's surface.

E. This is because we are the largest user of groundwater in the world, and therefore highly dependent on it.

Which of the following is the FIRST sentence of the sequence?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Statement D is the standalone sentence. So, it should begin the sequence.

Statement E mentions "This is because ..." in order to state the reason of the problem that has been introduced in statement D. So, E should follow D.

Statement A will follow statement E as it provides support to the claim made in E that India is the largest user of groundwater in the world (the country uses 25 percent of all groundwater extracted globally). Next comes statement B as it follows the same thought ''And because 70 percent of the water supply...''.

Statement C is the concluding statement as it provides a contrast "Despite this ...", A and B elaborate on the importance of groundwater and C conveys that even with this issue being of such great importance enough attention isn't being paid. So, the correct order of the sentences should be DEABC.

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 4

Directions: Select the word/phrase that most closely defines the word given..

COMPASSIONATE

Detailed Solution: Question 4

"Compassionate" and "empathic" both mean "showing concern for others".

Hence, the answer is (1).

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 11

Choose the option that represents the given statement in the indirect form.

Rahul said to Pooja “Have you had your lunch?”

Detailed Solution: Question 11

Rahul said to Pooja “Have you had your lunch?”

The sentence is interrogative by nature. Therefore, ‘said to’ will be converted to ‘asked’.

The tense of the statement must be changed from present to past. Therefore, the correct form of the given sentence will be ‘Rahul asked Pooja whether she had had her lunch’. Therefore, option D is the right answer.

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 12

Relying and alternative best fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole. The answer is option B.

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 15

Select the option that represents the given sentence in the passive voice:

I can do the work.

Detailed Solution: Question 15

There should be no change in the tense when a sentence is converted from active to passive voice. The subject and the object must be interchanged. ‘The work’ must become the subject and hence, we can eliminate option A. In options C and D, there is a change of tense. Therefore, we can eliminate these options as well. Therefore, ‘the work can be done by me’ is the correct form and hence, option B is the right answer.

SNAP Mock Test - 9 (New Pattern) - Question 16

Talking to a man, Priya said, you are the only son of my husband's mother. How is the man related to Priya?
