For the following questions answer them individually

Question 141

Fill in the Blanks: But _ are now regularly written not just for tools, but well-established practices, organisations and institutions, not all of which seem to be _ away.

Video Solution

Solution

We can identify the correct choice using the second blank: 'practices' do not wither or trade or die 'away'; they 'fade away.' Options A, B and C don't fit in the second blank and hence, can be eliminated.

Question 142

Fill in the Blanks: The Darwin who _ is most remarkable for the way in which he _ the attributes of the world class thinker and head of the household.

Video Solution

Solution

"Combines" is a better fit for the 2^ndblank as it has to deal with two phrases, hence eliminating options A and B.

The word in the 1^stblank and the word "attributes" must be in the same tense. Hence option D is eliminated and the answer is option C.

Question 143

Fill in the Blanks: Since her face was free of _ there was no way to _ if she appreciated what had happened.

Video Solution

Solution

"Diagnose" is a wrong word for the 2^ndblank. Hence option C eliminated.
"Make-up" and "scars" are bad fit-in for the 1^stblank.
As her face was expressionless, there was no way to find if she appreciated what had happened. This sounds more meaningful. Hence option B is the answer.

Question 144

Fill in the Blanks: In this context, the _ of the British labour movement is particularly _.

Video Solution

Solution

Clearly, affair and activity don't fit in the first blank, hence can be eliminated. In the second blank, "significant" is the best fit complementing "experience" in the first blank. Hence option C.

Question 145

Fill in the Blanks: Indian intellectuals may boast, if they are so inclined, of being _ to the most elitist among the intellectual _ of the world.

Video Solution

Solution

Even though both "cliques" and "societies" fit into the second blank, clearly "ancestors" fits into first blank the best.
