JIPMAT 2022 Question Paper

The passage repeatedly discusses the virtue of co-operation and draws parallels between humans and bees and ants. The passage does not discuss wealth or power as virtues; options A and B are, therefore, incorrect. While higher education can be considered a goal of a society wanting to be literate, this is not the primary focus of the passage; option C is also incorrect. 'Mutual help' is taken directly from 'co-operation' which is the highlight of the passage. Option D should be the correct answer.

From the sentence "Still, we look down upon the insects as almost the lowest of living things and yet the tiny bees and ants have learnt the art of co-operation and of sacrifice for the common good far better than man," we can infer that even often-ignored tiny creatures such as bees and ants have learnt the art of co-operation that we, humans, still lack. This is captured in option B, which should be the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are irrelevant to the information provided in the passage.

The passage begins the discussion by talking about the selfish nature of human exploitation. It then proceeds to discuss and elaborate on 'the want of co-operation today', talking about sacrifice and the soul. Option A is incorrect because no empires have been addressed in the passage. Option B is also incorrect because the passage does not discuss humanity's pursuit of truth, knowledge, and enlightenment. Option C is the most appropriate option out of the four options provided. Option D again introduces the term 'idealism', which is not elaborated upon in the passage. The correct answer, therefore, is option C.

From the sentence "There is enough of want of co-operation today as we see one country or people selfishly exploiting another," we can infer that it is the inherent selfish nature of one man that causes him to exploit another. None of the four options captures this except option A. 'Moral turpitude', that refers to the morally corrupt character of a person, encompasses selfish actions and exploitation. Option A is the correct answer.

"How wise I am!" is an exclamatory sentence that shows pride. 

So, when converting to indirect speech, we:

• Change the pronoun "I" to "he" (to match the speaker).
• Change present tense ("am") to past tense ("was").
• Use "exclaimed that..." to retain the tone of exclamation.

Hence, the correct indirect speech would be : He exclaimed that he was very wise.

Other options:

1. Incorrect pronoun; "I" should become "he".

2. Tense is incorrect, and "I" should become "he".

3. Wrong reporting verb; "regretted" doesn’t fit the context.

The word 'dissimulate' means to conceal or put in disguise; the opposite of this would be to reveal and open. The correct antonym among the given options is in option D, 'reveal'. Option C has two errors: the first is the form of the word (which should have been conceal rather than concealed), and the second is that it is a synonym instead of being an antonym. Options A and B are irrelevant in this context. The correct answer is option D.

The correct sentence is: He didn’t like to attend the lecture

The other options are incorrect because:

1. "didn’t liked" uses past tense incorrectly (should be base form "like")

2. "hadn’t like" is incorrect tense and form

3. "haven’t liked" doesn’t agree with singular subject "He"

A) As I haven't see all the evidence.

Error: "haven't see" should be "haven't seen" (past participle needed).

B) I am reluctant — correct

C) to make a judgement — correct

Hence, the correct answer is A).

The word 'jocund' refers to someone who is cheerful and light-hearted. The antonym of 'jocund' would refer to a person who is sad and/or serious. 'Jealous' is not an exact antonym of 'jocund' and can be eliminated. 'Cheerful', rather than being an antonym, is a synonym of 'jocund' and will also be eliminated. 'Optimistic' refers to someone who keeps a positive perspective on things, and is closer to being a synonym of 'jocund' than being an 'antonym'. The best possible choice is option C; 'gloomy' refers to someone who is depressed and frightened. Option C is the correct answer.

Let's look at the parts and try to arrange them meaningfully:

S. we were told that

Q. we would be held

P. responsible for anything

R. that went wrong

So, the sentence will be "We were told that we would be held responsible for anything that went wrong."

Hence, the correct answer is S Q P R.
