To ‘fall down something’ means to fall from something (usually something tall). We can eliminate options B and C.

Precipice is a term used to refer to a cliff and hence, option D is the right answer.

24) Answer (D)
The author uses the word ‘unhesitatingly’ before the blank. The author intends to convey that when a conflict arises, we do not care much about the well-being of our descendants. Therefore, ‘sacrificed’ is the correct term to be used and hence, option D is the right answer.
25) Answer (B)
In the first part of the sentence, the author talks about how the rise of price affects poor people. The second part of the sentence is connected to the first part using ‘but its influence’. Therefore, the second part of the sentence should provide an information that is in stark contrast to the first part. Therefore, the author should have mentioned that the effect of rise in prices of goods on death rate is not much. ‘Trifling’ is the correct term to be used and hence, option B is the right answer.
26) Answer (A)
The author talks about 2 type of qualities. The author talks about the acquired qualities towards the end of the sentence. Therefore, the author should have talked about the qualities that one is born with before talking about acquired qualities. ‘Inherited’ is the correct term to be used and hence, option A is the right answer.
27) Answer (C)
As we can see, the sentence talks about both quantity and quality of human beings. Therefore, a plural term should have been used to fill the blank. ‘Factors’ is a better term to be used than ‘questions’ and hence, option C is the right answer.
28) Answer (B)
The author intends to convey that death comes to everyone regardless of whether their parents desire it or not. However, only those who are desired by their parents to be born are born. ‘Desire’ is the correct term to be used and hence, option B is the right answer.
29) Answer (C)
It has been given that the proletariat supplies more people. As the supply increases, the price will fall. Therefore, the wages will fall due to increased population and hence, option C is the right answer.
30) Answer (A)
Child protection should have been crucial to tribal existence. They would have been driven to extinction had it not been the case. Therefore, ‘indispensable’ is the correct word to be used and hence, option A is the right answer.
31) Answer (B)
The author states that the plain, unvarnished tale will not be unwelcome. This implies that people will like this plain tale of Bismarck’s life. Had the story been already read or told numerous times, there is no reason for people to like a plain story. Therefore, the accounts so far must have been heavily distorted. ‘Misinterpreted’ is the correct term to be used and hence, option B is the right answer.
32) Answer (D)
From the sentence, we can infer that the author compared the position occupied by Anatole France now to the one that Galileo enjoyed. We can eliminate ‘remained’, and ‘released’. ‘Attained’ is a better word to be used than ‘retained’ in the given context since the author is unlikely to compare a position at an intermittent point in time.
Therefore, ‘attained’ is the correct word to be used and hence, option D is the right answer.
33) Answer (B)
‘Unless’ is the most appropriate word for the blank.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
34) Answer (C)
‘Probable’ is the most appropriate word for the blank.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
35) Answer (D)
The paths that are used the most gather little grass. ‘Treaded’ means to walk over. Therefore, the paths that are treaded the most gather little grass is the correct expression and hence, option D is the right answer.
36) Answer (C)
The author tries to express that provided he had an option back then, he would have taken a different path. ‘Had I had’ is the correct expression since the sentence talks about a hypothetical scenario. Therefore, option C is the right answer.
37) Answer (D)
‘For’ is the most appropriate word for the blank.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
38) Answer (C)
‘Awhile’ means for a short time.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
