SNAP Mock Test by SIBM Pune

The phrase “No sooner had we…” is used to indicate that one event happened immediately after another, emphasising quick succession. It is typically followed by “than” and then the second action. Of the options given, the sentence is best completed as:  “No sooner had we passed the cave than a sudden roar emerged from within”. This is both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. The other options either break the sequence of immediate events or do not logically follow the cause-and-effect or time pattern implied by “no sooner… than.”

The tense of the sentence inside the inverted commas [reported speech] is Simple Present, and the tense of the reporting verb is past. This means that when converting to indirect, the reported speech will become past simple. Hence, the correct conversion will be: "I told him that he needed to get it fixed or he would face a lot of trouble soon ", which is option B. 

[ 'he'll' means 'he will', which becomes 'he would' in the change ]

The error lies in the verb 'make', which should agree in number with its singular subject, 'courage'. Since courage is a singular noun, the correct verb form is makes. Therefore, the sentence should read:

“Even when we run the risk of losing our lives, courage makes us defend what is right and oppose what is wrong.”

The word oppose is already correct because it properly follows us defend… and oppose, both in base form after 'makes us'. [Parallel construction]

After S1 states Mao’s view of contradiction as the engine of development, R logically grounds that view in China’s specific conditions (semi-colonial, semi-feudal economy and peasant centrality), showing why Mao couldn’t copy the Russian path. P then points to his essays (On Contradiction, On Practice) as the vehicles through which he operationalised dialectical materialism for strategy and ideology. S elaborates the method’s content by listing the opposing pairs Mao sought to balance (theory/practice, leadership/mass line, etc.). Q finally generalises the political payoff that progress toward socialism depends on identifying and resolving contradictions, smoothly priming S2, which summarises dialectical materialism as the cornerstone guiding both tactics and the continuous struggle.
The most appropriate order should therefore be RPSQ, which is option D.

The sequence follows $$n^2+1$$ for n = 2,3,4,5,6,7:

$$2^2+1=5$$

$$3^2+1=10$$

$$4^2+1=17$$

$$5^2+1=26$$

$$6^2+1=37$$

$$7^2+1=50$$

Now, we can clearly notice that 38 is the incorrect term. It should be 37.

Explanation: first letters are at positions 1, 3, 6 (differences +2, +3 → next +4 → 10 → J).

Second letters are 26, 24, 21 (differences −2, −3 → next − 4 → 17 → Q).

So the next pair is JQ.

Sunita's original position from the left = N − 15 + 1 = N − 14

After swapping, Rohan takes Sunita's place and becomes 20th from the left, so N− 14 = 20

Hence, N = 34

Step 1: Start at A: (0,0).

Step 2: 10 km East = (10,0).

Step 3: Turn right (facing South) and 5 km = (10, −5).

Step 4: Turn right (facing West) and 10 km = (0, −5).

Step 5: Turn left (from West, left = South) and 5 km = (0, −10).

So point B is at (0, −10) relative to A — that is, 10 km South of A.

We know that A = police, C = teacher. That leaves {doctor, lawyer, banker} for B, D, E.

B is neither a doctor nor a lawyer, so B must be the banker.
