Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (E)
‘On’ in A must be replaced with ‘in’ for A to be correct.
The hall is ‘of the palace’ and not ‘from the palace’.
Since the decoration is singular, ‘were’ in C must be replaced with ‘was’.
The thing that one sees is ‘sight’. Hence, ‘seen’ in D must be replaced with ‘sight’.
Hence, option E is the right choice.
2) Answer (B)
The sentence is in past tense, so ‘looking’ in A must be replaced with ‘looked’.
In C adjective form of ‘sorrow’ must be used. Hence, ‘sorrowful’ must replace ‘sorrow’ for C to be correct.
‘Misfortunately’ in D must be replaced with ‘misfortunate’ in D.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
3) Answer (C)
One leads others ‘through’ rooms and not ‘with’. Thus, A is incorrect.
‘Were’ in B must be replaced with ‘where’ as the room is a place.
Since the tense is present continuous, ‘sipped’ in D must be replaced with ‘sipping’.
Part C is correct.
Hence, the answer is option C.
4) Answer (E)
‘As per the’ must replace ‘If’ in A for the part to be correct.
Since ‘are’ is used in B, ‘individuals’ and not ‘individual’ must be used.
‘To linking’ in C is incorrect instead ‘to link’ must be used.
One links something ‘with’ other thing. So ‘from’ in D must be replaced with ‘with’.
Hence, option E is the correct choice.
5) Answer (A)

In C, the spelling of ‘continnual’ is incorrect. It must be replaced with ‘continual’.
‘Nothing alone’ in D does not fit in. It must be replaced with ‘not alone’.
Part A is correct.
Hence, option A is the correct choice.
6) Answer (D)
The sentence is talking about a religion for which we have an authentic account. ‘To’ is incorrectly used in the sentence. Both ‘for’ and ‘of’ will make a meaningful sentence. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
7) Answer (B)
An island is surrounded by sea from all sides. Hence, both ‘beyond’ and ‘beside’do not make any sense for the given blank. Thus, only ‘in’ is correct. Hence, option II is the correct answer.
8) Answer (E)
The given sentence is grammatically correct in its given form. Hence, option E is the correct answer.
9) Answer (B)
I conveys the meaning that the civilization was destroyed by some person. This is wrong because civilization cannot be destroyed by some person. III also conveys a similar meaning and hence it is wrong. II is correct. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
10) Answer (A)
The sentence is talking about an event from the past. Hence, ‘had’ should be used in place of ‘have’. Thus, I is correct. Both II and III are in present tense and hence can be ruled out easily. Hence, only I is correct replacement for the given phrase. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
11) Answer (E)
We can use the term “members” to refer to the individuals that make up a family. None of the other words fit the second blank. The word “thrilled” fits perfectly in the first blank and indicates that the actress is happy to be able to spend her birthday with her husband. Hence, option E.
12) Answer (A)
Here, the preposition which suits both the context well is ‘as’.
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
13) Answer (A)
Here, the correct word which matches the context of both the sentence is ‘right’.
In first sentence, it means immediately.
In the second sentence, it means appropriate.
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
14) Answer (C)
Here, ‘scale’ matches the context of both the statements.
In the first sentence it means magnitude while in the second sentence it is used to mean proportion.
Therefore, th ecorrect option is option C.
15) Answer (D)
The correct word which matches the context of both the statement is ‘content’.
In the first statement, it is used to mean satisfied.
In the second statement, it means contituent or component.
Therefore, the correct option is option D.
16) Answer (A)
Inner urge is same as internal motivation. Hence motivation can be ruled out. The use of ‘but’ implies that the word in the blank should be contrasting to inner urge. Hence ‘desire’ is correct for the given blank.
So the correct answer is option A
17) Answer (D)
The word in the second blank should be a synonym of ‘poverty’. The only words that are applicable are ‘poverty’ and ‘adversity’. The word ‘contrast’ cannot be used in the first blank. On the other hand, ‘virtue’ is a perfect fit. Option d) is the correct answer.
18) Answer (E)
The most suitable word in the second blank is ‘investigate’. Also, the word ‘circumstances’ fits well in the first blank. So, option e) is the correct answer.
19) Answer (B)
The words that are applicable in the first blank are ‘believe’ and ‘argue’. ‘Affect’ is a verb and ‘effect’ is a noun. So, the word in the second blank should be ‘affect’. Option b) is the correct answer.
20) Answer (D)
In part D of the sentence, replace ”have been” with ”has been”.
21) Answer (C)
‘We’ is plural and therefore should be followed by plural verb. So, ‘was’ is incorrect and it must be replaced with ‘were’.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
22) Answer (C)
Part C contains the error. ‘to understand’ must have been used instead of ‘for understanding’. Since the statement that follows is in simple present tense, the usage of present continuous tense is inconsistent. Hence, C is the right answer.
23) Answer (C)
The correct sentence is “Organic milk has higher omega-3 fat levels, but probably not enough to make a difference.”
24) Answer (E)
Sentence is grammatically correct
25) Answer (B)

Option b) is the correct answer.
26) Answer (C)
From the options, the only words that can come in the second blank are ‘inconvenient’ and ‘deplorable’. However, between ‘wrong’ and ‘unconforming’, ‘wrong’ is a better fit in the first blank. So, option c) is the correct answer.
27) Answer (D)
The correct choice of the words will be ‘adversely’ and ‘problems’. Adversely means negatively.
The sentence would read as:
According to the language experts children should begin talking in their mother tongue rather than foreign language which can adversely affect their comprehension abilities leading to serious language based problems later in their lives.
Hence, option D is correct.
