upon, in and at do not make grammatical sense.
Therefore, the correct option is option B.
2) Answer (A)
The preposition which is correct and apppropriate is ‘for’.
‘To’, ‘on’ and ‘upon’ are grammatically incorrect to use.
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
3) Answer (B)
Here, the word which suits the context most is ‘drive’.
Drive means a strong motivation.
Therefore, the correct option is option B.
4) Answer (A)
Here, ‘foredoomed to’ suits the context well.
It means ‘predicted to’.
Therefore the correct option is option A.
5) Answer (D)
Here, ‘neared’ suits the context well.
Therefore, the correct option is option D.
6) Answer (D)
When scoorge awoke, he could not differentiate between the wall and the window due to the darkness. The author uses the term ‘opaque’ to describe the wall. Therefore, the author should have used the opposite term ‘transparent’ to describe the window to emphasize how dark it was when Scoorge awoke.
The second blank should be filled with a word that conveys that Scoorge tried to see through the darkness. Among the given words, only pierce can fill the second blank. Therefore, option D is the right answer.
7) Answer (A)
From the paragraph, we can infer that the paragraph is about how a person emerged shoving the canvas aside. The first blank has to be filled by concealed or revealed. A canvas cannot reveal the entrance. It can only conceal the entrance. Therefore, the first blank should be filled with ‘concealed’.
Only options A and E are available now. ‘Revealed’ cannot be used to fill the second blank. Therefore, the second blank should be filled with ‘drapery’. Drapery is used to refer to cloth or canvas and it fits well with the context of the paragraph. Therefore, option A is the right answer.
8) Answer (E)
The given paragraph is about how the chinese used various names to refer to themselves and their land. Clearly, the second blank has to be filled with ‘inhabit’. Only options C and E are available now.
Among ‘inhibit’ and ‘designate’, ‘designate’ is the correct word to fill the first blank. Therefore, option E is the right answer.
9) Answer (C)
On reading the sentences, we can infer that the given paragraph is about how a class of workers who were handling the operations were slowly phased out by a new class of workers. The first blank should be filled by a word which means ‘till now’. Among the given 5 words, only ‘hitherto’ means till now.
In the last line, the term ‘receipt’ has been used to denote that the people ‘received’ mails, not to denote that they issued bills. Therefore, ‘despatch’ should have been used to fill the second blank.
Therefore, option C is the right answer.
10) Answer (B)
After the second blank, the term ‘a flood of stagnant, yellow light’ has been used. Since the author uses metaphor in the given line, the second blank must be filled with a word that is related to ‘flood’.
’flooded a flood’ is an inappropriate expression. Out of ‘threw a flood’ and ‘poured a flood’, the term ‘poured’ is better suited. Therefore, the second blank should be filled by poured.
The first blank should be filled with a word that attributes the heat of the Sun. Between ‘boiling with heat’ and ‘simmering with heat’, ‘simmering’ is better suited. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
11) Answer (D)
From the context of the passage we can understand that knack will fill the first blank and managing will fill the second blank.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
12) Answer (C)
From the context of the passage we can understand that option never will fill the first blank and appreciate will fill the 2nd blank.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
13) Answer (C)
appertaining means related to and applying means to apply. From the context of the passage we can understand that the author here means, related to and hence, I will fill the 1st blank.
Between affected, effected and rendered, rendered is best suited to fill the blank as per the context of the passage.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
14) Answer (D)
From the context, we can understand that the author here means that Paine’s mind was in no doubt. Hence, both I and II seem to fit the context.
Between IV and V, eminently means highly and prominently means well known of. From the context of the passage, we can understand that the author here meant highly.
Thus, among the given option I-IV best fits the context.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
15) Answer (D)
Though wrath, anger and hate seem to fit the blank 1 perfectly but wrath will be more appropriate here because wrath represents enormous anger which is shown in the passage by beheading of the king.
Between tyrant and emperor, tyrant will be more appropriate because a tyrant is a more of a negative word and the author has framed the sentence to be negative.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
16) Answer (B)
From the context, we can understand that 1st blank will be filled by either V or I but I fits the context more appropriately.
Since we are talking about the era prevision will fill the 2nd blank better.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
17) Answer (B)
When we talk about a sphere of mind we talk about cognition and hence, 1st blank will be filled by I.
transcend means to to surpass, as in intensity or power. This perfectly fits the context of the passage and hence, IV fills the blank 2 more appropriately than V.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
18) Answer (E)
Both ‘entrancing’ and ‘serious’ seem to fill the 1st blank but entrancing means charming and from the context we can understand that the author wants to convey that the problems are which attract profound thinks. Thus, entrancing is more appropriate.
III, IV and V seem to fill the blank 2 appropriately but, seldom can be eliminated as it means very rarely and from the context we can understand that author means the exact opposite.
Between again and again and frequently, frequently is more appropriate as we usually don’t use another and after again and again.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.
19) Answer (C)
Both ‘II’ and ‘III’ seem to fill the 1st blank appropriately but when we talk about human freedom we usually talk about the possibility and the probability. Thus, IV fills the blank 1 more appropriately.
I, II and V all seem to be the right option but ‘sordid’ accompanies all the other words. As the author is talking on a large scale of life ‘sordid’ will the fill the blank appropriately.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
20) Answer (D)
Meaning of accede is agree. As can be understood by the context of the passage the first fill up should be something related to time.
Epoch means a particular period of time marked by distinctive features, events, etc.
Thus, 1st fill up can be best filled by II.
The author is talking about _____ down the sturdy flower.
Mown and cut both seem to fit the context but the tone of the author is a negative and mown will fit the fit the 2nd blank much more appropriately.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
