SNAP 2023 Question Paper

Visious is incorrect. The correct spelling is ‘vicious’.
Hence, option C is the correct option.

Ipso facto is a Latin phrase, directly translated as "by the fact itself", which means that a specific phenomenon is a direct consequence, a resultant effect, of the action in question, instead of being brought about by a previous action. Hence C is the answer.

‘fewer’ is used with countable nouns and ‘less’ is used with uncountable nouns. So, the correct option in this case is option b).

The first words of all the options make sense for the given blank but only ‘gone’ fits the second blank. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

The only words that can fit in blank 1 are among and amid. But, form doesn’t make any sense in the second blank. Thus, B is the correct answer.

The steps to curb pollution mainly addresses the vehicular pollution. Therefore, vehicles must be one of the major contributors to pollution level in the city. Since the corporation wants the people to install catalytic converters, we can infer that catalytic converters can reduce the emission levels. Also, the corporation proposes to allow vehicles of only a particular parity on a day. Therefore, the corporation thinks that this will force people to adopt alternative modes of transport to reach their destination. Also, the corporation puts down all the rules with a belief that the citizens will implement it. All options from B, C, D and E are implicit assumptions on which the rule has been made. 

Just because the pollution control measures address vehicular pollution, we cannot say that the pollution from other sources are negligible. Vehicular pollution can be the major contributor, but it does not necessarily mean that the other sources will not have significant share. Therefore, option A cannot be said to be an implicit assumption and hence, option A is the right answer.

1- The position of the word “also” implies that watching TV (for long hours) causes many illnesses of which obesity is one. However, no information regarding obesity and its other causes is given. Hence, we cannot say that Assumption 1 is implicit.

2 - The statement clearly mentions long hours. If watching TV for short hours also caused obesity then there would have been no need to specify "long hours". Hence, Assumption 2 is implicit.

There is no relation between glaciers melting and increase in earthquakes and volcanos. So, both the statements (A) and (B) are effects of independent causes.

Statement I is causing Statement II. The growth of economy has improved the standard of living

Definitely, the terrorist can be termed a potent threat to the society and he must be executed for the greater good. The offence is too heinous to think on humanitarian grounds. Therefore, only argument I is strong and hence, option A is the right answer.
