Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
The author states the circumference under which the Constitution can be drafted. It does not indicate the author’s opinion regarding whether honest attempts will be made or not. Hence, none a, c and d is the assumption behind the statement. The statement does not reflect the author’s opinion regarding the first Constituent Assembly. Hence, e is not implicit. Since the author says that honest attempts can lead to drafting the Constitution, it can be said that he/she is under the belief that it is possible to make honest attempts. Hence, b is the implicit assumption. Choice b
2) Answer (C)
Difficulty cannot be the reason for abandoning search for survivors because one’s life is invaluable. Had the houses been evacuated search operation would not have been initiated. Hence, b is not a possible reason. Since those who are trapped under mud cannot survive for more than two days there will not be any chance of finding survivors. Hence, c is a possible reason. Non recurrence of landslides cannot be the reason for stopping the present search operation. Hence, d is not a possible reason. When people cannot survive land slide the search operation would not have been initiated. Hence, e is not a possible reason. Thus c is a possible reason for abandoning the search operation. Choice c
3) Answer (B)
The word ‘prefer’ takes the preposition ‘to’. So, the correct usage is: “I prefer tea to coffee”.
4) Answer (D)
The sentence is supposed to mean that the child ran from one side of the street to the other side. So, ‘across’ is the correct preposition in this sentence.
5) Answer (C)
This is a very popular and often used preposition. When something or someone travels from A to C and then C to B, it is said that the journey has taken place from A to B via C. So, option c) is the correct answer.
6) Answer (B)
7) Answer (D)
8) Answer (E)
9) Answer (D)
10) Answer (B)
11) Answer (D)
Passage speaks about old age people, hence, e can be eliminated. Statements 1, 2 and 3 give precautions to avoid online scam. Thus they can be least likely to be the concluding sentence. Option D gives the solution to the problem mentioned before. Hence option D is correct option.
12) Answer (A)
The passage talks about use of app to help manage personal finance. Option B can’t be the ending sentence as it brings in banking and is vague. Option e suggest to use budgeting but the previous sentence already talks about use of app. Hence can be ignored. Option C and D require some antecedent to make sense out of those sentences. Only sentence A which gives example of what is stated before can be the ending sentence. Hence option A is right choice.
13) Answer (A)
14) Answer (A)
The Sentence 3 is a generic sentence, hence will be the starting statement for the paragraph. 2-1 is a mandatory pair. Statement 5 will follow the statement 1 as it continues with choices discussed in the previous statement. Sentence 5-4 is a mandatory pair as 4 discuss the consequences.
Hence 32154 is the correct sequence.
15) Answer (C)
As the para is talking about the quality education for every Indian student, and after the blank, the sentence is starting with ‘however’ which means something is contradicting with the above sentence, so in the blank above there must be some positive statement. Hence, option (c) will fit as per the context of the sentence.
16) Answer (A)
Although the Indian cooperative banking sector has been around since 1914, a slew of banks has gone under RBI restrictions, including most recently the Rajasthan Co-Op Bank.
“Despite” needs two contradictory statements while these two statements are not contradictory.
We cannot start a sentence with “While a slew…” as it would be contextually incorrect
Hence A is the correct answer.
17) Answer (B)
As per the given sentences, C-B and A-D will form a pair. The respective pair of sentences will be:
C-B: For the first time, people with arm amputations can experience sensations of touch in a mind-controlled arm prosthesis that they use in everyday life. This is a new concept for artificial limbs, which are called neuromusculoskeletal prostheses — as they are connected to the user’s nerves, muscles, and skeleton.
And
A-D: The newest part of the technology, the sensation of touch, is possible through stimulation of the nerves that used to be connected to the biological hand before the amputation. Force sensors located in the thumb of the prosthesis measure contact and pressure applied to an object while grasping.
18) Answer (C)
The correct arrangement sequence is ” the biggest hurdle for electric vehicles / is the conflict of interest/ in the minds of manufacturers since they are/making money from petrol and diesel vehicles ”
19) Answer (D)
The usage of ‘near’ is incorrect in sentence D. It should be ‘Ravi and his close friend’. The usage of ‘near’ in each of the other four sentences is correct. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
20) Answer (C)
‘Entitled’ means to have the right to something.
Thus, sentence A doesn’t use the word correctly.
Hence, option C is the correct option.
