6. Whether the first sketch had been decided upon, whether the new stanza, Spenser’s original creation, and its peculiar beauty and instrument, had yet been invented by him, while he had been trying experiments in metre in the ‘Shepherd’s Calendar’, we have no means of determining.

Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

2) Answer (D)

3) Answer (B)

4) Answer (D)

E follows A because it creates an anology and explains the situation.

Then, C follows E because, it continues that anology.

Hence ECBD is the answer.

6) Answer (C)

CA is a pair because C introduces the desktop computer and A talks about the computer parts in detail.

Just before the last sentence A must come because sentence 6 talks about the software, an idea that is introduced in sentence A.

Among the given options, only option C satisfies the above conditions.

7) Answer (B)

The first sentence talks about magazines. The same idea is continued in sentence B. Hence, B follows the first sentence.

CD is a pair because the “number of editors” concept is introduced in C and then an example is taken in D.

Hence, BCDA is the answer.

8) Answer (C)

The pronoun “it” in statement B refers to the media attention mentioned in statement 1. Hence, 1-B are a pair. Statements A and D describe the NRIs introduced in B and hence should come after B. As A concludes from the outward characteristics mentioned in D, it should follow D. C mentions the gap in information provided about NRIs and 6 mentions how the film festival is filling those gaps. Hence, C-6 are a pair. Hence, the order is 1BDAC6.

9) Answer (A)

B is the first sentence in the sequence. “Misconstructions” is the key word here. In (1), there is a mention of “misconstructions” which is referred to again in B. Since, only option A mentions B first in the list, option A is the right answer.

10) Answer: 413562

The first sentence of the paragraph is 4. It introduces the topic of the paragraph – Faery Queen. This is followed by sentence 1, which traces the history and name of Faery Queen. This is then followed by sentence 3, which talks about how nothing beyond the name is known about Spenser’s project. This idea is continued in sentences 5 and 6. The last sentence is 2, which concludes the paragraph. It talks about how Spencer took the idea of the project with him to Ireland and implemented it there.
