Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (E)

Thorium should be used as a substitute or alternative to Uranium. So, options a) and e) are relevant. Because of the use of the words ‘solely on’ in the first part of the sentence, we can pick option e) over option a).

2) Answer (C)

The word in the second blank should have a negative connotation because the sentence says the universities are churning out graduates without providing them with proper education. So, options c) and e) are relevant. Between the two, only option c) makes sense in the first blank. So, option c) is the correct answer.

3) Answer (B)

Only fear and believe are applicable in the second blank. Between ‘provoked’ and ‘angered’, provoked is more suitable in the first blank. So, option b) is the correct answer.

4) Answer (D)

Only ‘outdated’, ‘expired’ and ‘invalid’ are applicable in the second blank. Among the three options, only ‘action’ is suitable in the first blank because of the use of the words ‘has been taken’ after the blank. So, option d) is the best answer.

5) Answer (A)

Except option e), all the other words are suitable in the first blank. But, only option a) is applicable in the second blank because companies don’t try to reduce the growth.

6) Answer (B)

The right preposition to be used when using odds is “against”. Hence, only option b is correct.

7) Answer (E)

Online music providers try to sell their products by claiming that a large number of customers are buying their products. So, touted and morphed are suitable answers. But in the second option, morphed is followed by ignoring which is an incorrect option. Hence option E is the correct answer to the question.

8) Answer (C)

Bent and determined are the correct options for the blanks. Hence C is the correct option for the question. Fragile, weak, approaching and obsessed are incorrect in the context.

9) Answer (D)

For the first blank, employing and pursuing are the only two correct options. For the second blank, assess and divulge are the only correct answers. So, the correct option is d as it has both the words as correct options.

10) Answer (B)

The second blank has to be in plural and a negative word. Loophole is singular. Facilities, Strategies and benefits are positive sounding words. So, the correct option is (b)

11) Answer (E)

Seized means “take hold of suddenly and forcibly”. Confiscated means “take or seize (someone’s property) with authority.”

Both seized and confiscated can be used in the given context

12) Answer (C)

Both possessing and holding can be used interchangeably when describing use of passport. The other options are either in appropriate to be used for passports or are conveying an entirely different meaning.

13) Answer (D)

Both labelled and touted can be used in the given context. Exclaimed, worshipped, explained, and shouted are absolutely inappropriate in the given context.

14) Answer (A)

Both committed and dedicated can be used in the given context

Inaugurated, specified, succumbed and kicked off are not appropriate to be used in the given scenario.

15) Answer (D)

Both depend and rest can be used in the given context

16) Answer (C)

As it says ” _____ before”, in this blank, we have to fill it with a word which refers to “certain amount of time”. Hence ‘minutes’ and ‘seconds’ are the correct answers => A and F

17) Answer (C)

As it says ” _____ before”, in this blank, we have to fill it with a word which refers to “certain amount of time”. Hence ‘minutes’ and ‘seconds’ are the correct answers => A and F

18) Answer (A)

It is given that the person has threatened someone. The words ‘superficially’,’mistakenly’,’miserably’ and ‘doubtfully’ referring to threatened is wrong usage. Either of the words ‘allegedly’ or ‘purportedly’ can be used here.

19) Answer (E)

Here the correct word must be either ‘unconcerned’ or synonym of ‘unconcerned’.

‘Apathetic’ and ‘indifferent’ are synonyms of unconcerned.

The other three words do not mean the same as unconcerned. Hence E is the answer.

20) Answer (C)

Annul and lift are the most appropriate words to be used to describe government orders that are amended by courts.
