She doesn't understand why the kitten keeps running over that tree.
  1. Aon that tree
  2. Bacross that tree
  3. Caround that tree

Show answer

Concept: 'Around' shows movement in a circle about something.

  1. A kitten keeps running in circles about the tree.
  2. 'Over' = above / across the top – not natural here.

Answer: (C) around that tree

अवधारणा: किसी चीज़ के चारों ओर घूमने के लिए 'around' लगता है।

  1. बिल्ली का बच्चा पेड़ के चारों ओर दौड़ रहा है।
  2. 'Over' = ऊपर से – यहाँ ठीक नहीं।
  3. सही: running around that tree.

  1. 'Cut the red cable' → Let the red cable be cut.
  2. 'you have to throw the entire thing' → the entire thing has to be thrown … by you.

Answer: (C) Let the red cable be cut all at once; otherwise, the entire thing has to be thrown out of the room by you with your maximum strength.

अवधारणा: आज्ञार्थक वाक्य → Let + object + be + V3; have to + V1 → has to be + V3।

  2. I → he, you → her, we → they.
  3. have informed → had informed; have to attend → had to attend.

Q186.
Select the most appropriate antonym of the word: Alleviate
  1. AExacerbate
  2. BMitigate
  3. CAllay
  4. DAssuage
Show answer

Concept: Alleviate = make (pain/problem) less; antonym = make it worse.

  1. Exacerbate = to worsen → opposite.
  2. Mitigate, Allay, Assuage = reduce/soothe → synonyms of alleviate.

Trick: Three options mean the same thing (lessen) – that group cannot be the antonym.

Answer: (A) Exacerbate

अवधारणा: Alleviate = दर्द/समस्या कम करना; उल्टा = और बढ़ा देना।

  1. Exacerbate = बिगाड़ना/बढ़ाना → विलोम।
  2. Mitigate, Allay, Assuage = कम करना → ये पर्यायवाची हैं।

ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प एक जैसे अर्थ वाले हों तो वे उत्तर नहीं; अलग वाला ही antonym।

Breakfast is being prepared by my mother.
  1. ABreakfast prepared my mother.
  2. BMy mother is preparing breakfast.
  3. CMy mother prepares breakfast.
  4. DMy mother was preparing breakfast.
Show answer

Concept: is being + V3 (passive) ↔ is + V-ing (active); tense stays the same.

  1. Agent 'my mother' becomes subject; 'breakfast' becomes object.

  3. Result: My mother is preparing breakfast.

Trick: 'being' in passive = continuous tense → look for '-ing' in the active.

Answer: (B) My mother is preparing breakfast.

अवधारणा: is being + V3 (passive) का active रूप is + V-ing; tense नहीं बदलता।

  1. 'my mother' subject बनेगा, 'breakfast' object।
  2. is being prepared → is preparing।
  3. वाक्य: My mother is preparing breakfast.

ट्रिक: Passive में 'being' दिखे तो active में '-ing' वाला विकल्प चुनें।

अवधारणा: 'asked if' = हाँ/ना वाला प्रश्न; tense को वापस मूल रूप में लाएँ।

  1. asked me → said to me; प्रश्न में helping verb subject से पहले।

Q190.
One of these words is spelled incorrectly. Which one is it?
  1. AGovernment
  2. BEmbellish
  3. CConscious
  4. DPercieve
Show answer

Concept: 'i before e except after c' – so it is perceive.

  1. Correct: Perceive (like receive, deceive).
  2. 'Percieve' breaks the rule, so it is the misspelt word.
  3. Government, Embellish and Conscious are all spelt correctly.

Trick: After 'c' write 'ei': receive, ceiling, conceive, perceive.

Answer: (D) Percieve

अवधारणा: नियम: 'c' के बाद 'ei' लिखा जाता है – perceive।

  1. सही: Perceive (जैसे receive, deceive)।
  2. 'Percieve' में नियम टूटा है, इसलिए यही गलत वर्तनी है।
  3. Government, Embellish और Conscious की वर्तनी सही है।

Trick: Pronoun 'he' cuts (C),(D); tense 'had been' cuts (A).

Answer: (B) Shraddha told him that he had been working.

अवधारणा: Reporting verb past हो तो were + V-ing → had been + V-ing।

  1. said to him → told him that।
  2. 'You' (सुनने वाला) → he।
  3. were working → had been working।

ट्रिक: 'he' से (C),(D) बाहर; 'had been' से (A) बाहर।

Directions (Qs. 18-22): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Schools function as busy communities, and so do the dedicated individuals who keep them running. From teachers and principals to bus drivers, cafeteria staff, and custodians, every school employee plays a vital part in creating a safe learning environment. While parents often view teachers as the primary educators, the consistent efforts of support staff frequently go unappreciated.

The daily routine of a school worker is defined by early mornings, constant noise, and physical demands. Custodians might have to clean entire hallways before the first bell rings, while cafeteria workers ensure that hundreds of meals are prepared on a tight schedule. School employees manage

complex schedules with accuracy, and administrative staff often handle stressful parent interactions throughout the day.

What makes their profession even more demanding is the invisible pressure. School employees absorb the anxieties, behavioral issues, and personal struggles of students regularly. Yet, despite the mental fatigue, most stay dedicated to their roles out of a genuine desire to help children succeed.

In recent times, particularly with the rise of remote learning challenges, appreciation for the stability schools provide has increased. However, adequate funding, emotional resources, and mutual respect are still necessary to guarantee the satisfaction of those who shape the future.

Trick: 'Physical' sits right before 'demands' – choose the option that also says physical.

  4. DS, R, P, Q
Show answer

Concept: Start with the sentence that introduces the topic; pronouns follow.

  1. P introduces 'a device' → opener.
  2. R uses 'it' (= the device) → after P.
  3. Q gives the program detail; S concludes with the result.

Trick: 'it' in R needs a noun before it – so P–R must be together; only (C) has this.

Answer: (C) P, R, Q, S

अवधारणा: जो वाक्य विषय का परिचय दे वह पहले; सर्वनाम वाले बाद में।

  1. P में 'a device' का परिचय → पहला।
  2. R में 'it' = वही device → P के बाद।
  3. Q में program का विवरण; S निष्कर्ष।

ट्रिक: R का 'it' P के बाद ही आएगा – P, R जोड़ी सिर्फ़ (C) में।

उत्तर: (C) P, R, Q, S
