CMAT 2024 Slot 1 Question Paper

The answer is both as a noun and an adjective as it is used to refer to the head of an institution and the primary concern

"He" is singular in nature. In simple present tense, the singular subject takes the verb in the third person with a -s. 
hence, the correct answer would be "catches."

Option B: "Is catching" shows a continuous nature, which does not fit the sentence's " often "e. 

Option D: "Have caught" shows the past nature, which also does not fit the present form of the original sentence. 

Option A: "catch" is the base form, if we want to use catch we would need something like "He does often catch cold."

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer. 

Option B is the correct answer.

The other options (hold back, hold on, hold up) are phrasal verbs that have commonly used idiomatic meanings:

Hold back: To restrain or keep something under control.
Hold on: To wait or to endure.
Hold up: To delay or to support.

On the other hand, hold high is not a commonly used idiomatic expression in English, making it the odd one out.

The word "obligatory" means something that is required or compulsory, often implying that it must be done or adhered to. The only word opposite to this is "voluntary:" this means done out of one's free will, not compelled or mandatory.  Hence, Option C is the correct choice. 

Speech without any prior preparation is the definition of Extempore

Option B is grammatically incorrect; the advertisement does not "see" and can easily be eliminated.

Option C is also slightly grammatically incorrect, it should be "is seen" and not "are seen", also the placement of "one" fits awkwardly. 

Option D changes the intent of the original sentence, it is not that thee advertisements are shown everywhere but that they are seen everwhere 

Option A is the only correct passive form of the sentence. 

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer. 

Option C is the correct answer. 'Getting at me' is the correct phrasal verb here, meaning "criticizing me" or "picking on me," which fits the context.

Gets at me (Option A) is in the wrong tense and does not align with the rest of the sentence structure. Get off at me (Option B) and getting by me (Option D) are not idiomatic or grammatically correct in this context.

The word "concerned" (used as a past participle) is appropriate because it expresses that the chapter is focused on or dedicated to a specific subject, i.e., the role and reach of reasoning. This usage aligns with formal writing conventions.

The word "provide" fits because it completes the infinitive verb phrase "can provide," indicating the potential role of reasoning in forming a theory of justice. This is both grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.

The definite article "the" is appropriate because "first chapter" is a specific entity. In formal English, we use "the" before ordinal numbers (e.g., "the first," "the second") to denote something specific and singular.
