CMAT 2023 Slot 2 Questions Paper

In the given sentence, the phrase "speaking itself" is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase should be "speak for itself."

The phrase "speak for itself" means something that is evident or self-explanatory without the need for further explanation. In this context, it implies that the person's conduct is clear and communicates the situation effectively, eliminating the need for additional clarification.

The correct option is B.

The sentence I is grammatically correct. It uses the correct subordinating conjunction "whether" to introduce a subordinate clause indicating uncertainty about whether he will come or not. The structure "whether he will come or not" is commonly used to express doubt or uncertainty about a future event.

Sentence II is not grammatically correct. It uses the conjunction "that" instead of "whether," which is incorrect in this context. The correct construction, in this case, is to use "whether" to introduce the subordinate clause expressing uncertainty.

The correct option is A.

The sentence Q introduces the topic of oral storytelling and highlights its significance as a traditional practice in various cultures. It sets the context for the subsequent sentences. Sentence S expands on the nature of oral storytelling by emphasizing its role as a performing art. It highlights the interactive aspect of storytelling, where the storyteller engages with the audience during the performance. Sentence P presents an alternative aspect of oral storytelling, suggesting that it can also occur in an informal and spontaneous manner within small groups. Sentence R concludes the paragraph by stating that the spontaneity of oral storytelling is appreciated by people of all ages, including both children and adults. It emphasizes the universal appeal and enjoyment derived from this form of communication.

Thus, the correct order will be QSPR.

The correct option is B.

In option B "analogies between the two work" , the word "work" should be pluralized to "works" to match the plural noun "analogies."

Thus, the correct option is B.

The error in the sentence is in the tag question at the end: "Isn't it?". The correct tag question to use in this case is "doesn't it?" instead of "isn't it?" since the main verb in the sentence is "moves," which is a present simple tense verb.

The correct option is C.

To convert a sentence into an active voice, we need to make the subject of the passive sentence (the child) the doer of the action. The verb should be in the active form, and the object (the child) should become the subject.

Therefore, the correct option is "The maid looked after the child."

The correct option is A.

Vulnerable: Susceptible to physical or emotional harm, attack, or damage.

Ambivalent: Having mixed feelings or contradictory attitudes toward something or someone.

Ephemeral: Lasting for a very short time; fleeting or temporary.

Flamboyant: Characterized by being showy, colorful, or extravagant in style or behavior

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer. 

Option B is the correct answer. Sentences B and D are correct.

Sentence A: The correct sentence would be, She was pouring water into the jug or She was pouring water from the jug.

Sentence C: The correct sentence should be: "Rama has been living in Delhi since 1975." The preposition "since" indicates the starting point of an action or state.

Sentence E: The correct sentence should be: "The patient was crying in pain." The preposition "in" is used to indicate the state or condition the patient is experiencing.

In the original sentence, "My mother cooks Italian food every Sunday," the subject "my mother" is performing the action of cooking Italian food. In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence becomes the receiver of the action, and the focus is on the action itself rather than the doer.

The correct passive voice form of the sentence is "Italian food is cooked by my mother every Sunday."

The correct option is B.

The error in the sentence is in the verb agreement. The correct form should be:

"Neither he nor I am wrong."

Since "I" is the first person singular pronoun, the verb should be in the singular form "am" instead of the plural form "are."

The correct option is C.
