Explanation
The correct answer is Option B.
We are to choose from the given options the preposition that correctly completes the sentence.
Option A: WITH is used where there is a meaning of connection and companionship. There is no such meaning intended in the given sentence.
Option C: FOR is used in the meaning of relation or favour or reason and it is not grammatically correct in the given sentence.
Option D: FROM means 'starting point', but there is no en-point mentioned in the sentence. There is no such meaning intended in the given sentence.
Hence these options are not the correct options.
Option B: TO is used to indicate direction or destination. The destination of the devotees is the temple. The temple attracts the devotees.
Therefore Option B is the correct answer.
Option D is the correct option because ‘with’ means ‘using’. It is described that ‘besan confections are saturated’ and ‘with’ is the most appropriate grammatically to complete the meaning of the sentence. Option A is incorrect because ‘from’ indicates ‘removal from something’. It is not the appropriate preposition for this sentence as it mentioned that the besan confections are saturated and ‘from’ does not complete the meaning of the sentence. Option B is incorrect because ‘of’ means ‘made up from’. In the given context, 'with' is better suited stylistically than 'of'. Option C is incorrect because ‘in’ means ‘included’. It is not the appropriate preposition for this sentence.
In the above mentioned passage, the correct word for the blank (42) is Option B, “fame.”
The passage speaks about a special delicacy that is served at the Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh. Millions of devotees throng the temple for this delicacy which is made with the help of certain ingredients in a varied way. Thus in blank (42), the dish is said to have got international recognition and acclaim. The word that comes closer to the meaning of recognition and acclaim is the word fame, that is Option B.
The other options “taste”, “claim” and “love” do not give the literal meaning of the same, and hence are wrong or not suitable for the blank.
In the above mentioned passage, the correct word for the blank (43) is Option C,“patent.”
The word patent has the literal meaning in accordance with the mentioned qualities of the dish that is to be legally protected against imitations. The dictionary meaning of the word patent is related to copying or plagiarism and hence is the correct answer.
The other option “index” is used to describe a measure, while “quality” is the attribute of an object and “reward” is the return got for something successful, hence not qualifying to be the answers.
The correct solution to the mentioned question is Option D. The passage which is talking about the presence of pain in human life is something that is happening right now and is expected to be an ongoing process, thus using the present continuous tense (altering). The key is to identify the general tense present in the passage and then contextualize it with the topic of the passage.
Even though options A and B are in the present tense, they indicate the event only happening at the moment failing to express the continuing role of pain in human lives and hence are wrong. Moreover, option B is a grammatical misfit as the sentence has the first-person plural form of the verb while option B is in the third-person singular form.
Option C is wrong as the simple past form of the verb, altered, implies something that happened in the past, the effect of which is no longer present. It does not go with the context and the general present tense of the passage.
A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun.
Option B: THESE is the correct answer as it is used to refer to more than one particular thing. Hence it can be used to refer to the 'besan confections'.
Option A is the correct option because ‘edible’ means ‘fit to be eaten’. The sentence describes the taste and aroma of the laddu and ‘camphor’ as one of the ingredients used to make it. Hence ‘edible’ is the most logically appropriate word to complete the sentence. Option B is incorrect because ‘fine’ means ‘good quality’. It is a relatively similar word but not an appropriate option for this sentence. Option C is incorrect because ‘light’ refers to 'weight’. It is not an appropriate word to describe the camphor. Option D is incorrect because ‘pious’ means ‘religious’. It does not complete the meaning of the sentence. It is important for the word to be consistent with the other words in the sentence. Edible fits the bill best.
The correct answer is Option C.
The phrase 'a roller coaster ride' is generally used to convey a ride that causes amusement and thrill.
We are to complete the given sentence with the word that correctly describes the ride in a bus over the pot-holed road. Such a journey over the pot-holed road is one of ups and downs and reminds of a roller coaster ride which also is full of ups and downs, jerks and bumpy. Hence Option C is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Options A,B and D i.e. train, boat and bicycle rides do not cause excitement and amusement. It is not jerky and full of ups and downs and therefore bears no similarity with a roller coaster ride.
Thus Option C is the correct answer.
Option C is the correct answer because ‘eager’ means ‘strongly wanting to do’. It is described in the sentence that the devotees are drawn to the temple especially for the laddu. Hence ‘eager’ is the right word to complete the meaning of the sentence. Option A is incorrect because ‘seen’ means ‘to see’. It is not the appropriate word to complete the meaning of this sentence. Option B is incorrect because ‘look’ means ‘direct one’s eye’. ‘Look’ is relatively similar in meaning but not appropriate for this context. Option D is incorrect because ‘find’ means ‘to search’. It is not an appropriate word for this sentence.
Option C is the correct answer because ‘prized’ means ‘invaluable’. Possessing something means it has great value hence here the right word is ‘prized’. Option A is incorrect because ‘prize’ means ‘gift’. It is not the right word for this context. Option B is incorrect because the word ‘prizy’ doesn’t exist in English language. Option D is incorrect because the word ‘prizely’ doesn’t exist in English language.
In the above mentioned passage, a situation of life and the parcel that it brings along is mentioned and described. The last line talks about how pains can be an alarm bell towards gaining back consciousness on how to live life. Thus the correct form of the word ‘alert’, which describes the sudden reflex we get during a pain, is Option B, “alerting.” The ‘verb+ing’ form connects the previous sentence of pain to the immediate attention it needs.
The other options, ‘alerted’, ‘alert’ and ‘alerts’ are forms which will not be suitable for the blank above as they do not fit in grammatically.
"Put down" is a phrasal verb. If you put something down somewhere, it means that you write or type it there. In the given paragraph, it is mentioned that Gandhiji "was prepared to put himself down as the seventeenth man of the English Cricket team". This means: "He was prepared to write his name down as the seventeenth man of the English Cricket team". Hence, option B is the right answer.
Option A: The word, ‘wear’ is a verb, which means: To have (something) on one's body as clothing, decoration or protection.
Option C: The words, "get down" has several meanings. Some of the common meanings are: (i) To manage to swallow something; (ii) To alight from a vehicle; (iii) To give one's attention.
Option D: The word, "keep" is a verb which means: To retain or have.
The meanings of the words, 'wear', 'get down' and 'keep' are quite different from the phrasal verb, "put down". Hence, options A, C and D are incorrect.
The word, ‘poachers’ is a noun which refers to people who catch and kill animals illegally. It is mentioned in the sentence that they were arrested for illegally hunting the bears. Hence, 'poachers' is the most appropriate noun to fill the blank and option A is correct.
Option B: The word, ‘rangers’ refer to keepers of a park or forest. They also protect animals.
Option C: Soldiers serve in the army and protect the nation.
Neither rangers nor soldiers illegally hunt animals. Hence, both these words are not appropriate answers and options B and C are wrong.
Option D is incorrect because the word ‘roachers’ doesn’t exist. It carries no meaning.
The correct answer is option C.
The correct answer that completes the given sentence will be the correct form of the word 'increase'.
It will be the present continuous tense of the word because the action of increased traffic and vulnerability to accidents is in progress.
Option C is the correct answer because the given sentence is in present continuous tense so ‘increasing’ is the right word.
The remaining options are incorrect: Option A is incorrect because ‘increase’ is first person present tense and it is not the appropriate word for this sentence. Option B is incorrect because ‘increasingly’ is present perfect continuous tense and is not correct grammatically. Option D is incorrect because ‘being increased’ is past continuous tense and is not in the context of the sentence .
Hence option C is the correct answer.
