CMAT 2023 Slot 1 Question Paper

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the original sentence, the word "cleverer" is not grammatically correct. The correct comparative form of the adjective "clever" is "more clever."

Therefore, the corrected sentence should be: "Radha is as clever as Sudha."

The correct option is B.

"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"

"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.
