Aficionado is a person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiast.

2) Answer (C)

Novice: a person new to and inexperienced in a job or situation.
Seasoned and veteran means experienced person. Obtuse is a dull person.
So c is the correct answer.

3) Answer (A)

Regression: return again to a former state
Hence option A is correct.

4) Answer (D)

1.Solitude: State of being alone, loneliness.
2.Misery: State of mental or physical distress
3.Exhilaration: a feeling of happiness, excitement, elation e.t.c
4.Solace: comfort at a time of great distress.
Option D is correct.

5) Answer (D)

Prosaic: ordinary, lacking imaginativeness or originality.
Insipid: weak, lacking vigour and interest
Tiresome: Causing one to feel bored and annoyed.
Hence option d is correct.

6) Answer (E)

‘tremendous tail’ needs to be preceded by a pronoun. Since, whale is a neuter gender. So, it is best to use ‘it’ rather than his/her. Since, the tail is of the whale so, ‘it’ has to be used in the possessive form i.e ‘its’. The form “it’s” should not be mistaken to be in the possessive form. “it’s” stands for “it is”. Hence, option E is the correct choice.

7) Answer (C)

Only option c fits well in the blank. Option b could have been a fit if there was no ‘to’ after the blank. Hence, option C is the answer.

8) Answer (D)

Among the given options, both a and c fit in the blank both grammatically and contextually. Both of words mean ‘to think about carefully on some matter/issue”. But, in option b the problem is the ‘-ing’ form of the verb. ‘thought’ would have been perfect. Hence, option D is the correct choice.

9) Answer (B)

‘ringing’, ‘pealing’ & ‘clanging’ are synonymous and are usually used to refer to ringing of bells or any such sound associated with metal objects like iron, utensils etc. Option a does not make any sense. Only ‘rustle’ fits best. Hence, option B is correct.

10) Answer (A)

Due to the article ‘an’, we cannot use option d. ‘objection’ in c contradicts the tone of the sentence. Among a and b, a is a better option. Hence, option A is correct.

11) Answer (D)

Towards the end of the line, the author mentions that that the field has been making strady advances recently. Therefore, the author terms the education system to be the pride of the country and hence, ‘boast’ is the correct term to be used. Therefore, option D is the right answer.

12) Answer (B)

On reading the sentence, we can infer that the practitioners should not hesitate to share important information with the public. Therefore, ‘reluctance’ is the correct term to be used and hence, option B is the right answer.

13) Answer (C)

On reading the sentence, we can infer that the tannic acid is inseperable from coffee without spoiling its taste. Therefore, the missing word should stress how interlinked the 2 components are. Therefore, intimate is the correct word to be used and hence, option C is the right answer.

14) Answer (A)

The author intends to convey that the Suez canal will contribute to the preservation of the Ottoman empire. Therefore, ‘destined’ is the correct term to be used and hence, option A is the right answer.

15) Answer (E)

At some time, Nile’s water appears distinct from the Sea it mixes with. Logically, this is likely to happen at times of increased water flow. Among the given options, ‘inundation’ is the most appropriate word to fill the blank and hence, option E is the right answer.
