Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (C)

There are two prices that are being compared – prices at which goods are traded on the world market and prices at which goods are sold in the local market. So, the difference is created ‘between’ the two prices. Also, goods are traded ‘on’ the world market and not ‘with’ the world market. So, the grammatically correct sentence is option c).

2) Answer (E)

Since the first sentence is a question, ‘if’ is more appropriate than ‘as’. Shade ‘of’ this tree and back ‘to’ me are the appropriate usages.

Hence, option E is the correct answer.

3) Answer (E)

‘Ability of’ is incorrect in option E. The correct usage is ‘ability to’. All other options are grammatically correct.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.

4) Answer (C)

Swindle means to use deception to deprive someone’s possession. It means that you have an unequal exchange where you didn’t give much of your possession and you robbed the other person of his/her possession. Option C summarises it correctly.

5) Answer (C)

Option D is incorrect as it contradicts the statements as “rulers do not get ruled.” Option A is contextually incorrect as it does not make any sense. Option B is incorrect as powerfully corrupt is grammatically incorrect. Option C is the best match.

6) Answer (B)

Bank deposits are countable. So they swell. They don’t flourish. “To flourish” means to develop. The correct answer is option b.

7) Answer (A)

“Break Down” is the correct usage as break down means to remove something.

8) Answer (C)

The use of the word “ambitious” is redundant since the word ‘aspiring’ has already been used. Only one of the two words has to be used in the third sentence. Option c) is the correct answer.

9) Answer (D)

The verb “invite” does not agree with the singular noun “choice”. Hence, the correct usage of the verb is “invites”.

10) Answer (A)

The verb is/are refers to the noun “best part”. As the phrase “best part” is singular, ‘is’ must be used here.

Hence, option A is correct.
