JIPMAT 2023 Question Paper

The word 'famish' (akin to 'famine') refers to someone who is extremely hungry. The most suitable synonym out of the options provided is simply option B. Option A, 'agricultural', refers to something related to agriculture, and is not the same as 'famished'. The word 'prestigious' means someone of an illustrious reputation, also unrelated to 'famished'. The word 'feasible' means something that can be accomplished, and is also not the same as 'famished'. Option B is the correct answer.

The word 'ostensible' refers to something stated as true or appearing to be true, but is not necessarily so. The option that best describes this is 'apparent', option C is the correct answer. All of the options A, B, and D are irrelevant to the meaning of 'ostensible'.

Provided below are the meanings of each of the phrases constructed using the words provided in the options:

1. put down: to record something in writing or to simply put something down
2. put off: postpone something to a later date
3. put of: no meaning
4. put on: wear (an outfit)

The option that best fits the context is 'put off'. The final sentence would be: "He put off his departure for a week."

Option C is incorrect because the word 'contradictory' is not a verb but is a noun. Option B, 'contradict not to' is also inaccurate because the main verb 'contradict' should be followed by the auxiliary or helping verb 'to' and not vice versa. Option A writes 'to not contradict', whereas option D writes 'not to contradict'. In option A, 'not' comes between 'to' and 'contradict', causing a split infinitive. Option D is more precise and is therefore the correct answer.

The word 'communicable' is an adjective that describes something that can be communicated to others, especially regarding a communicable disease that can be spread from person to person. Option A, 'communication', is a noun and is not the same as 'communicable'. Option B, 'contagious' is the correct answer; the word 'contagious' refers to a disease that can be spread from person to person. Option C, 'commutation', refers to manipulating the direction of flow of something, and is unrelated to the word 'communicable'. Option D, 'understandable' is also incorrect. The correct answer is option B.

The word 'unequivocally' refers to doing something in a way that leaves no doubts. The correct spelling is 'unequivocally' and is the correct answer, therefore, is option B.

The phrase 'she doesn't like to' has the verb followed by the word 'to', and therefore, the word that follows 'to' will be 'get' instead of 'gets'. Option A is grammatically wrong. Similarly, in option B, the word 'doesn't' should be followed by 'like' instead of 'likes'. Option C has the correct usage, and it is the correct answer. Option D has the same error as option B, and is also incorrect.

The paragraph discusses mediation as an alternative to litigation, but it does not mention litigation as something that society relies too much on; option A is, therefore, incorrect. Mediation is also said to be faster and less expensive than litigation, but this does not mean that litigation is a slow process or that it is expensive. Both litigation and mediation can be similarly slow and similarly expensive, with minor differences favouring the latter. Option C is extreme and is incorrect. Option D is a balanced conclusion from the points discusses, and is the correct answer.

Let's analyse each of the options provided for grammatical and logical coherence:

1. Hardly had the function got over, the crowd dispersed: The sentence is grammatically sound, and is the correct answer.
2. Hardly have the function getting over, the crowd dispersed: The verbs 'have' and 'getting' are never used together.
   
3. The function was not got over after the crowd were dispersed: Should instead have been 'has not got over' but there would still be issues.
4. Hardly had got over the function, the crowd disperse: 'had got over' is in the past tense whereas 'disperse' is in the present.

The correct answer should be option A.

The sentence provided is a general proverb. It follows that it should be in the present simple form. Options B and C are eliminated as they both are in the past simple form. The subject 'a bird' is also a singular noun, and should be followed by 'is' rather than 'are'. Option A is incorrect and the correct answer is option D.
