JIPMAT 2021 Question Paper

The underlined expression "by fits and starts" refers to working in an erratic or inconsistent way, as opposed to a steady or regular fashion. Therefore, a person who works "by fits and starts" works in short, inconsistent bursts of activity.

So, option B-irregularly is the correct answer.

Option-A: CURRICULER is incorrectly spelt.

The correct spelling is CURRICULAR.

Other words, option-B,C and D are correctly spelt.

Active voice is of the form: Subject(who) + verb (wrote) + Object(it)

Passive voice is of the form: Object + verb (in past participle form) + Subject

The correct answer is 'By whom was it written?'. This is the correct passive form of the active sentence given.

The direct form of the sentence "He says that he is very sorry" is: He says, 'I am very sorry'. 

Indirect speech: Uses a reporting verb ("says") to introduce someone else's words. 

Direct speech: Uses quotation marks to directly convey the speaker's words.

In this case, the indirect speech uses "that" to introduce the statement, while the direct speech simply removes the "that" and uses quotation marks to represent the speaker's actual words. 

Additionally, the pronoun "he" in the indirect speech becomes "I" in the direct speech, reflecting the speaker's own apology.

So, correct answer is option-C.

The sentence "Everyone shall be reaching by tomorrow" employs the future continuous tense. This tense indicates an action that will be taking place or in progress at a particular moment in the future, following the structure of subject + will/shall + be + verb-ing.

So, correct answer is option-A: future continuous tense.

The meaningful sentence that can be made by using these words is: There are three routes of development.

So, the correct order will be: IV,II,VI,III,V,I

So, correct answer choice is option-C.

The pair of words that most closely reflects the same relationship as "LIQUEFY : PETRIFY" is "MELT : FREEZE." Each pair illustrates opposing processes related to state changes in matter: liquefy refers to transforming into a liquid, whereas petrify signifies becoming solid, similar to how melt contrasts with freeze.

Let's analyze other options:

Option-A: Blend : Separate: While these words are related to different actions, they are not antonyms like the original pair. Blending involves combining, while separating is the opposite.

Option-B: Cash : Invest: This pair represents a financial transaction, not a change in state of matter. Cashing out is converting an asset to cash, while investing is putting money into something to potentially grow it.

Option-D: Soften : Frighten: These words are not related in terms of state change. Soften refers to a change in texture, while frighten is an emotional response.

So, option C is the correct answer.

The starting sentence is S which introduces the idea of hopeful sign.

Q must follow S. Q extends the idea presented in S and refers to an increasing tendency.

P must follow Q. P addresses the increasing tendency mentioned in Q. P states that the tendency is among ordinary people.

R must follow P. R serves as a conclusion. It states that now people are seeing health as right and responsibility.

So, the correct order is: S,Q,P,R

So, option C is the correct answer.

The segment of the sentence that contains a mistake is "have," since the subject is "Mr. Gupta," a singular noun. The clause "accompanied by his secretary" is a part that does not influence the agreement between the subject and the verb. As a result, the correct form of the verb should be singular, indicating that "has arrived" is the appropriate choice.

The single word that fills both blanks is "still".

Sentence I:

"The child sat still through the long sermon" means the child remained motionless or quiet.

Sentence II:

"We have still to receive the documents" means we are still in a state of waiting for the documents to arrive.

So, the correct option is option D.
