SNAP 2009 Question Paper

'Temporal', 'ephemeral', and 'Transient' refers to something lasting only for a short time.

Since 'eternal' means lasting or existing forever,

In sentence 5, "down" indicates the relation of the fire engine with the hill. Thus, it is used as a "preposition". Hence, 2-5 is a match.

Options C and D can be eliminated.

Hence, option A is the answer.

In sentence 6, "ups" and "downs" are nouns. Hence, 3-6 is a match.
