Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (B)

Florid means having a red or flushed complexion.
In the given options A and C can be eliminated because they aren’t relevant.
Option D doesn’t mean that somebody is not red.
So the remaining option B is the right choice as “Pale” means light faded colour(red).

2) Answer (C)

Verity means something that is regarded true.
So option C, Falsehood is the only word in the options which gives the opposite meaning of the given word.

3) Answer (D)

4) Answer (C)

5) Answer (A)

The correct answer is option A.

Question tag -It is used when one wants to reconfirm ones statement.It is a statement followed by a question.

If the statement is positive, question tag will be negative and vice versa.

For ex- Shyam is working in a bank, isn’t he?

Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject.

A subject pronoun comes after an auxiliary or after `to be’ form of the verb & is used to replace the noun.

Here in the given question-

Hotel was not too expensive, wasn’t it?

Since the statement /main part of the sentence is in positive form, question tag will be negative.

Here `was’ is used in main part of the sentence,so in question tag we use `wasn’t’.

(Same verb/(auxiliary,modal,main)as that of the sentence)

To indicate `Hotel’,here we used pronoun`it’.

..

6) Answer (A)

The correct answer is option number 1st.

To +V1 is called as the infinitive form if the verb.

After `to’ we use first form if the verb.

Infinitive form if the verb is used when we want to express the purpose,to answer why.

Ex-He studied hard to make his parents proud.

Why he do study -to make his parents proud.

Infinitive form is used as a subject of verb,as a object of verb,as the complement of the verb,as a object of preposition,to qualify noun,to qualify a sentence.

Here it is used as a `Adverb’.It qualifies verb `Studied’.

In the given example, options -`to be filled,filling,filled’are wrong.Because after `to’ we can’t use 3rd form of the verb,rest options are grammatically incorrect.

7) Answer (C)

Neither is used to describe the absence of two things and is usually followed by the use of nor. ‘None’ is used to describe the quality of each object/person in the buch/group of objects/persons.
So ‘neither has any merit’ should be replaced by ‘none of them has any merit’.

8) Answer (A)

There should be ‘the’ in between knowing and truth, because truth is a common noun.

9) Answer (A)

rule out (Phr. V.) : to state that something is not possible or that something is not suitable. rule off (Phr. V.): to separate something from the next section of writing by drawing a line underneath it

10) Answer (C)

callous (Adj.) : cruel ; not caring about people’s feelings or suffering generates (verb): to produce or create something misanthrope (Noun): a person who hates and avoids other people

11) Answer (C)

The correct answer is option number -C

The given sentence is in the active voice.

We need to change it into passive voice.

It is in

S +H.V+(V2)+ O. (Active Voice)

In passive voice it will be,

O+H.V+been+V2+by+Subject

Active Voice-They have made a film based on this novel.

Passive Voice- A film, based on this novel, has been made.

The given sentence is in the present perfect form.

While changing it into passive voice,we need to use `been’ after helping verb.

The correct choice is C.

Option A -is in past form.(was is used)

Option B & D are grammatically incorrect.

12) Answer (A)

Given sentence is in active voice(compounded using ‘and ‘) and change it into passive voice.

Since there are two simple sentence and we should change the voices of both the sentences

It is in the form of ‘ sub1 + modal auxiliary +not+ V1+ obj’ and ‘ sub2 + V2 + obj’

It is to be converted into the from of ‘ obj+ modal auxiliary +not+be+ V3+ sub1 and obj + was/were+ v3 + by+ sub2’.

In this case we can eliminate the group of people. Simply I couldn’t be moved conveys the actual meaning. Then the word ‘ I ‘ don’t need to place again. since it’s connected using ‘and’.

So the correct answer is A.

13) Answer (A)

14) Answer (C)

15) Answer (D)

The correct answer is option number -D.

1st sentence-It is easy to criticize the people at the helm, for the slow progress in every field.

Connectors– First, we should ask ourselves as to what is happening to the young intellectuals in India.

The introductory part of the sentence talks about general statement of criticising people for the slow progress.

Next part should tells more about that -sentence S’ is telling about that -it says instead of criticising people we should ask ourselves what is happening to the young intellectuals.

Connectors-We are well aware that the intellectuals are leaving our country for better employment opportunities.

What is happening to the young intellectuals of the country?

This question is answered in sentence ‘P’.

Connectors– Then, what about their obligation to the Motherland ?

sentence ‘P’ answered about the young intellectuals,only sentence `R’ seems to be most logical to follow after P.

Connectors–Then question remains unanswered because our country cannot show opportunities to the intellectuals.

Sentence ‘R’ questions about the obligation of young intellectuals towards Motherland.

Sentence ‘Q’ inform about that.Key is `Then question remains unanswered’

So correct sequence is- SPRQ.
