For the following questions answer them individually

Question 41

Pick the appropriate category for the following sentence:
"A horse! a horse! My kingdom for a horse!"

Video Solution

Solution

The sentence "A horse! a horse! My kingdom for a horse!" is an exclamatory sentence due to its expression of intense emotion and excitement. The exclamation marks and the repeated phrase "a horse" contribute to the urgent and desperate tone conveyed. In this sentence, the speaker strongly desires or needs a horse, underscoring the significance they place on acquiring one.

The correct option is D.

Question 42

Pick the most appropriate auxiliary verb to fill in the blank:
CCTV _______ been used for many years for the surveillance of public areas associated with obvious risk.

Video Solution

Solution

The use of "has" as the auxiliary verb in this sentence is appropriate because it indicates an action that started in the past and continues into the present. The phrase "for many years" suggests a duration of time, indicating that the use of CCTV for surveillance has been ongoing. The auxiliary verb "has" is used with the third-person singular subject "CCTV" to form the present perfect tense, which is suitable for describing an action that began in the past and has a connection to the present.

The correct option is C.

Question 43

Identify the appropriate direct speech form of the following sentence:
He greeted me and asked where I was going.
1. He asks, "Hello, where are you going?"
2. He asked, "Hello, where you are going?"
3. He said, "Hello, where you are going.."
4. He said, "Hello! Where are you going?"

Video Solution

Solution

Option A: In this sentence, the word 'Hello' should be followed by an exclamation mark since it is used to attract someone's attention. This statement is grammatically wrong.

Option B: In direct speech, when we report someone's words, we should maintain the correct verb tense and word order. In this case, the reported question "Where you are going" should follow the standard subject-verb order, which is "Where are you going?"

Thus, this statement is also grammatically wrong.

Option C: As the question asked is not followed by a question mark, this statement is not correct.

Option D: Since this statement is grammatically correct and represents the exact words spoken by someone, this is the correct option.

The correct option is D.

Question 44

Choose the appropriate question to follow for the statement given below:
Statement given below:
Yes, it does.

Video Solution

Solution

Since the statement suggests that something happens in general or regularly, the appropriate question should inquire about the general occurrence. The question "Does it rain in winter?" is suitable because it asks about the general occurrence of rain during the winter season.

The correct option is A.

Question 45

Choose the most appropriate option to complete the sentence:
A person who does not eat any animal product is called _________.

Video Solution

Question 46

Choose the most appropriate option to correct the given sentence:
Ghana is a seaport in gulf at Guinea.

Video Solution

Solution

In the given statement, the preposition “in” will be replaced by “on”, as using the preposition "on," properly conveys the idea that Ghana is situated along the coastline of the Gulf of Guinea, rather than being inside the gulf or merely near it.

Thus, the correct option is C.

Question 47

Pick the correct order of the sentences to form a comprehensive paragraph:
A. A cat does not seem to be capable of the personal devotion often shown by a dog.
B. A dog will follow his master anywhere, but a cat keeps to the house it is used to and even when the house changes hands, the cat will remain there, so long as it is kindly treated by the new owners.
C. There is some truth in the common saying that while clogs become attached to persons, cats are generally attached to places.
D. It thinks most of its own comforts, and its love is only cupboard love.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Video Solution

Solution

Statement C introduces the topic of cats and their attachment to places. Statement B follows this and provides a contrast between dogs and cats in terms of their attachment to places and emphasizes the tendency of cats to stay in the familiar house. Statement A continues the comparison between dogs and cats, highlighting that cats may not display the same level of personal devotion as dogs. Statement D concludes the paragraph by emphasizing that cats prioritize their own comforts and may not exhibit the same depth of emotional attachment as dogs.

Thus, the correct option is C.

Question 48

Pick the most appropriate option from below:
The expression, "he is laboring ·under the delusion of a serious nature' suggests
that:

Video Solution

Solution

The expression "he is laboring under the delusion of a serious nature" implies that the person is experiencing a strong belief or misconception that is significant or grave in nature.

Derilium is a disturbed state of mind or consciousness, especially an acute, transient condition associated with fever, intoxication, and certain other physical disorders, characterized by symptoms such as confusion, disorientation, agitation, and hallucinations.

Since this summarised the expression, the correct option is B.

Question 49

Choose the most appropriate option to correct the given sentence:
Radha is as cleverer as Sudha.

Video Solution

Solution

In the original sentence, the word "cleverer" is not grammatically correct. The correct comparative form of the adjective "clever" is "more clever." However, in this case, it is more common and natural to use the structure "as + adjective + as" for comparing the two individuals. Therefore, the corrected sentence should be: "Radha is as clever as Sudha."

The correct option is B.

"Gandhi's greatest challenge was post-truth. The Indian social universe was overflowing with ways of living established by the powerful that inevitably oppressed the powerless. In order to tackle this inequality, Gandhi changed the understanding of truth that the powerful had inherited and internalized.

Solution

"Gandhi changed the understanding of truth that the powerful had inherited and internalized. He dislodged truth from its long-held. theological location of an ultimate divine compassion"

From the above excerpt, it can be understood that Gandhi dislodged truth as all ultimate divine revelation. Thus, assertion A is correct.

"Only goodness mattered. If that quality could be inculcated, truth would take care of itself."

In the above excerpt, although it is mentioned that the quality that Gandhi considered superior is goodness, it is nowhere mentioned that truth can be replaced by goodness, and people can manage without truth. Gandhi considered truth as a byproduct of goodness, rather than a substitute.

The correct option is C.
