Q701.
Identify Spot the error in the given sentence.
"Because of he was exhausted, he could not finish the task on time."
  1. ABecause of
  2. Bhe was exhausted
  3. Che could not finish
  4. Dthe task on time
Show answer

Concept: 'Because of' is a preposition (takes a noun); 'because' is a conjunction (takes a clause).

  1. After the blank we have 'he was exhausted' – subject + verb = a full clause.
  2. A clause needs the conjunction: Because he was exhausted, he could not finish… (or Because of his exhaustion…).

Trick: Check: if a verb follows, drop 'of'. Noun follows → keep 'because of'.

Answer: (A) Because of

अवधारणा: 'Because of' preposition है (इसके बाद noun आता है), 'because' conjunction है (इसके बाद clause आता है)।

  1. यहाँ आगे 'he was exhausted' है – subject + verb, यानी पूरा clause।
  2. इसलिए सही रूप: Because he was exhausted… या Because of his exhaustion…।

ट्रिक: आगे verb हो तो 'of' हटाइए; सिर्फ noun हो तो 'because of' रखिए।

उत्तर: (A) Because of

Q702.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition:
He has great confidence ____ his ability to handle difficult situations.
  1. Ain
  2. Bon
  3. Cat
  4. Dwith
Show answer

Concept: Nouns/verbs of trust take 'in': confidence in, faith in, belief in, trust in.

  1. We trust in a person or his ability → 'confidence in his ability'.
  2. 'With confidence' = confidently (a manner), not the object of trust; 'on/at' are not used.

Trick: Trust-words + 'in' – think 'I have faith IN you'.

Answer: (A) in

अवधारणा: भरोसे वाले शब्दों के साथ 'in' आता है: confidence in, faith in, belief in, trust in।

  1. किसी व्यक्ति/उसकी क्षमता पर भरोसा → 'confidence in his ability'।
  2. 'with confidence' का अर्थ है आत्मविश्वास से (तरीका); 'on/at' यहाँ प्रयोग नहीं होते।

ट्रिक: भरोसा = IN; जैसे 'I have faith in you'।

उत्तर: (A) in

  1. Asmooth over
  2. Bcall off

  1. AVerbose
  2. BTaciturn
  3. CTerse

Show answer

Concept: Laconic = using very few words (brief speech).

  1. Terse = short and to the point → exact synonym. ✔
  2. Taciturn = by nature quiet/reserved (a personality), not 'brief words'. Verbose & loquacious = wordy (antonyms).

Yaad rakhein: Laconic comes from Laconia (Sparta), whose people were famous for one-line replies.

Answer: (C) Terse

अवधारणा: Laconic = बहुत कम शब्दों में बोलना (संक्षिप्त)।

  1. Terse = संक्षिप्त और सटीक → सही समानार्थी। ✔
  2. Taciturn = स्वभाव से चुप रहने वाला; Verbose व Loquacious = ज़्यादा बोलने वाला (विलोम)।

याद रखें: Laconic शब्द Laconia (Sparta) से आया, जहाँ लोग एक-लाइन में जवाब देते थे।

Show answer

Concept: Choose the idiom meaning 'avoid answering directly'.

  1. Dance around the issue = avoid the main point, be evasive. ✔
  2. Pay the piper = bear the cost; taste of own medicine = get the same bad treatment; spill the beans = reveal a secret.

Trick: The sentence already gives the clue 'avoided giving a direct answer' – find the idiom that repeats this idea.

Q708.
Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
The player who took the most lowest number of wickets was harshly criticised by the spectators in the stadium.
  1. Athe most lowest
  2. Bthe lowest number of
  3. Cthe most number
  4. Dthe lowest
Show answer

Concept: Never use 'most' with a superlative that already ends in -est.

  1. 'Most lowest' is a double superlative → remove 'most'.
  2. Wickets are counted, so say 'the lowest number of wickets'.
  3. 'The lowest wickets' (D) is incomplete; 'the most number' (C) is wrong usage.

Trick: -est + most = error, always. Pick the option with only one superlative marker.

Answer: (B) the lowest number of

अवधारणा: जो शब्द पहले से -est वाला superlative है, उसके साथ 'most' नहीं लगता।

  1. 'most lowest' दोहरा superlative है → 'most' हटाइए।
  2. Wickets गिने जाते हैं, इसलिए 'the lowest number of wickets' सही।
  3. (D) 'the lowest wickets' अधूरा है; (C) 'the most number' गलत प्रयोग है।

  1. Outcast = समाज से निकाला गया व्यक्ति (बहिष्कृत)। ✔

  3. CThe teacher asked the students that they finish their work and submit the files by evening.
  4. DThe teacher asked the students to finished their work and submitted the files by evening.
Show answer

Concept: Order/request → reporting verb 'asked/told' + object + to + V1.

  1. 'Students' (address) becomes the object 'the students'.
  2. 'your' changes to 'their' (2nd person → object's person).

Trick: Imperative in indirect speech = 'to + V1' – reject any option with 'that' or past forms after 'to'.

Answer: (A) The teacher asked the students to finish their work and submit the files by evening.

अवधारणा: आदेश वाले वाक्य में: asked/told + object + to + V1।

  1. संबोधन 'Students' → object 'the students' बन जाता है।
  2. 'your' → 'their' हो जाता है।

ट्रिक: Imperative = 'to + V1'; 'that' या 'to' के बाद past form वाले विकल्प हटा दें।

उत्तर: (A) The teacher asked the students to finish their work and submit the files by evening.

Concept: Alacrity = cheerful readiness, eager speed.

Q712.
Which sentence contains a misspelled word?
  1. AThe garden looked beautiful after the morning rain.
  2. BShe wore a beautiful dress that suited the occasion perfectly.
  3. CThe sunset over the hills was truly beautiful to watch.
  4. DHe described the idea in a simple yet beautifull manner.
Show answer

Concept: The suffix '-ful' has only one 'l'.

  1. beauty + ful → beautiful (y → i, single l).
  2. Sentence (D) has 'beautifull' → misspelt.

Yaad rakhein: 'Full' alone has two l's; as a suffix it always has one: careful, hopeful, useful.

Answer: (D) He described the idea in a simple yet beautifull manner.

अवधारणा: प्रत्यय '-ful' में केवल एक 'l' होता है।

  1. beauty + ful → beautiful (y → i, एक l)।
  2. (D) में 'beautifull' लिखा है → गलत वर्तनी।

याद रखें: 'Full' अकेले में दो l, पर प्रत्यय में एक: careful, hopeful, useful।

उत्तर: (D) He described the idea in a simple yet beautifull manner.

"The author was given a ____ for his outstanding contribution to literature."
  1. Arecognision
  2. Brecoginition
  3. Crecognittion
  4. Drecognition
Show answer

Concept: Root 'recognise/recognize' + '-ition'.

  1. Correct form: recog + nition = recognition.
  2. Errors: '-sion' (A), extra 'i' after g (B), double 't' (C).

Yaad rakhein: Same family: cognition, recognition – both '-gnition'.

Answer: (D) recognition

अवधारणा: मूल शब्द recognise + '-ition'।

  1. सही रूप: recog + nition = recognition।
  2. (A) में '-sion', (B) में g के बाद अतिरिक्त i, (C) में दोहरा t – सब गलत।

याद रखें: एक ही परिवार: cognition, recognition – दोनों में '-gnition'।

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

Forests are among the most valuable natural resources on Earth, supporting a wide variety of plant and animal life. They help regulate the climate by absorbing carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen, and influencing rainfall patterns. Many communities also depend on forests for food, shelter, and livelihoods.

Tropical rainforests, in particular, are known for their extraordinary biodiversity. A single hectare can contain hundreds of different tree species, along with countless insects, birds, and mammals. These forests also play a key role in maintaining soil fertility and preventing erosion.

Despite their importance, forests around the world are under severe threat due to deforestation, illegal logging, and expanding agriculture. Scientists and environmentalists warn that continued forest loss could lead to irreversible damage to ecosystems and worsen climate change. Protecting forests is therefore essential for environmental balance and human survival.
Q718.
In the sentence: "Forests are among the most valuable natural resources on Earth," what is the tense of the verb "are" ?
  1. APast simple
  2. BPresent simple
  3. CPresent perfect
  4. DFuture simple
Show answer

Concept: 'Are' = present form of 'be' (am/is/are); general truths use simple present.

  1. 'Forests are among the most valuable…' states a permanent fact → Present simple.
  2. Past = were; present perfect = have been; future = will be – none used.

Yaad rakhein: am/is/are alone = simple present; was/were = past.

Answer: (B) Present simple

अवधारणा: 'Are' = 'be' का present रूप (am/is/are); सामान्य सत्य simple present में लिखे जाते हैं।

  1. 'Forests are among…' एक स्थायी तथ्य है → Present simple।
  2. Past = were, present perfect = have been, future = will be – इनमें से कोई नहीं।

याद रखें: अकेला am/is/are = simple present; was/were = past।

Q719.
In the sentence: "They help regulate the climate by absorbing carbon dioxide,"
The given sentence is in active voice or passive voice?
  1. AActive voice - the subject performs the action
  2. BPassive voice - the action is done to the subject
  3. CPassive voice - the doer is hidden
  4. DActive voice - without an object
Show answer

Concept: Active: subject does the action; passive: subject receives it (be + V3).

  1. 'They' (forests) themselves help regulate the climate → subject is the doer.
  2. Object 'the climate' is present, so (D) 'without an object' is wrong.

Trick: No 'be + V3' form in the verb → active voice.

Answer: (A) Active voice - the subject performs the action

अवधारणा: Active में subject काम करता है; passive में subject पर काम होता है (be + V3)।

  1. 'They' (forests) स्वयं climate नियंत्रित करते हैं → subject कर्ता है।
  2. Object 'the climate' मौजूद है, इसलिए (D) गलत।
