Here, the word which suits the context most is ‘drive’. Here, ‘foredoomed to’ suits the context well. Here, ‘neared’ suits the context well. When scoorge awoke, he could not differentiate between the wall and the window due to the darkness. The author uses the term \u2018opaque\u2019 to describe the wall. Therefore, the author should have used the opposite term \u2018transparent\u2019 to describe the window to emphasize how dark it was when Scoorge awoke.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n 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 \u2018concealed\u2019.<\/p>\n Only options A and E are available now. \u2018Revealed\u2019 cannot be used to fill the second blank. Therefore, the second blank should be filled with \u2018drapery\u2019. 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.<\/p>\n 8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n 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 \u2018inhabit\u2019. Only options C and E are available now.<\/p>\n Among \u2018inhibit\u2019 and \u2018designate\u2019, \u2018designate\u2019 is the correct word to fill the first blank. Therefore, option E is the right answer.<\/p>\n 9)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n 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 \u2018till now\u2019. Among the given 5 words, only \u2018hitherto\u2019 means till now.<\/p>\n In the last line, the term \u2018receipt\u2019 has been used to denote that the people \u2018received\u2019 mails, not to denote that they issued bills. Therefore, \u2018despatch\u2019 should have been used to fill the second blank.<\/p>\n Therefore, option C is the right answer.<\/p>\n 10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n After the second blank, the term \u2018a flood of stagnant, yellow light\u2019 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 \u2018flood\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2019flooded a flood\u2019 is an inappropriate expression. Out of \u2018threw a flood\u2019 and \u2018poured a flood\u2019, the term \u2018poured\u2019 is better suited. Therefore, the second blank should be filled by poured.<\/p>\n The first blank should be filled with a word that attributes the heat of the Sun. Between \u2018boiling with heat\u2019 and \u2018simmering with heat\u2019, \u2018simmering\u2019 is better suited. Therefore, option B is the right answer.<\/p>\n 11)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n From the context of the passage we can understand that knack will fill the first blank and managing will fill the second blank. 12)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n From the context of the passage we can understand that option never will fill the first blank and appreciate will fill the 2nd blank. 13)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n 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. 14)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n 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. 15)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n 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. 16)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n From the context, we can understand that 1st blank will be filled by either V or I but I fits the context more appropriately. 17)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n When we talk about a sphere of mind we talk about cognition and hence, 1st blank will be filled by I. 18)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n Both \u2018entrancing\u2019 and \u2018serious\u2019 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. 19)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n Both \u2018II\u2019 and \u2018III\u2019 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. 20)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.
