General Knowledge Questions & Answers PDF
Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
Among the given options ‘vicinity’ which means surrounding area completes the sentence meaningfully. Hence, option A.
2) Answer (B)
‘complacent’ means self-satisfied. ‘stubborn’ means ‘adamant’. ‘intrepid’ means ‘fearless’. Clearly, option b fits best. Hence, option B is the correct choice.
3) Answer (D)
Option d is the best substitution here as rest of the options does not form meaningful sentences. Hence, D.
4) Answer (C)
In (2), we cannot use destroyed since, the event is a recurring one and uses the phrase ‘every time’. ‘killed’ cannot be used for an inanimate object. Option c fits best. Hence, option C is the answer.
5) Answer (B)
In (1), lightning struck makes a suitable pair. Rest of the options does not go well. Hence, B.
6) Answer (E)
It has been mentioned in the passage that the person looked with a strained eye. Had the outlines been clearly visible, the person would not have the need to strain herself. Therefore, the outlines of the trees should have appeared indistinct and hence, option E is the right answer.
7) Answer (C)
In the line after the blank, the author describes how the house was the only one in miles. He describes how the house is isolated in the expanse of the Prairie. Therefore, among the given words, ‘solitude’ is the most appropriate one to fill the blank and hence, option C is the right answer.
8) Answer (A)
From the sentences that follow the blank, we can infer that the person looked out with great difficulty. She did not stand there admiring the view. Among the given words, ‘peered’ is the word that captures the difficulty with which the person watched out of the window and hence, option A is the right answer.
9) Answer (B)
Apart from the sound due to the breathing of children, there was no other sound. ‘Because’ and ‘apart’ cannot be used since there is no preposition after the blank. ‘Save their breathing’ captures the fact that the sound due to their breathing was the only noise. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
10) Answer (D)
On reading the passage, we can infer that the passage describes happenings in the middle of the night in an isolated house located in the Prairie. ‘Far into the night’ captures the time at which the incidents occur perfectly and hence, option D is the right answer.
11) Answer (D)
For ‘One’ oneself is used.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
12) Answer (A)
‘Considering’ is the best word as per the context.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
13) Answer (C)
Ideas are always put forward.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
14) Answer (E)
Basil has been complimented for making something. Only ‘observation’ can fit in the context.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.
15) Answer (B)
‘Stroke’ means to caress which is the appropriate word as per the context.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
16) Answer (C)
The word must describe something which causes accelerated growth. Only efficiency would make sense to use here, so Option C is correct.
17) Answer (D)
The sentence must use a positive adjective for growth. “Rapid” is the only positive option. Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
18) Answer (E)
The sentence wants to explain China’s situation in comparison to India-globally. Integrated networks make the most sense since this is discussed even later in the paragraph.
19) Answer (A)
The sentence wants to describe the countries product mixes, comparing the top 25 product mixes makes sense. The other options are out of context.
20) Answer (B)
The word we are looking for must describe China and India’s situation on manufacturing. Since later in the passage it speaks of their reliance on manufacturing Option B is most accurate.
