  2. BGet on extremely well with someone
  3. CFeel a lot of affection for one particular person, often without knowing why
  4. DDo something good for someone you have done something bad to in the past
Show answer

Concept: The idiom get on like a house on fire means two people become friendly very quickly and get on extremely well, the way fire spreads fast through a house.

  1. Example: The new neighbours got on like a house on fire.
  2. (A) only says 'like someone immediately' – incomplete; it misses the close, warm relationship.
  3. (C) describes an unexplained fondness (a 'soft spot'); (D) describes making amends.

Trick: House on fire = spreads fast → friendship grows fast and strong.

Answer: (B) Get on extremely well with someone

अवधारणा: Get on like a house on fire का अर्थ है किसी के साथ बहुत जल्दी और बहुत अच्छी तरह घुल-मिल जाना, जैसे आग घर में तेज़ी से फैलती है।

  1. उदाहरण: The new neighbours got on like a house on fire. – नए पड़ोसियों में तुरंत गहरी दोस्ती हो गई।
  2. (A) केवल 'तुरंत पसंद करना' कहता है – अधूरा अर्थ।
  3. (C) बिना कारण लगाव (soft spot) है; (D) गलती की भरपाई करना है।

ट्रिक: आग जैसे तेज़ फैलती है, वैसे ही दोस्ती तेज़ी से बढ़ती है।

उत्तर: (B) Get on extremely well with someone

Q1002.
Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’. His last trip around the world taking a toll on his health.
  1. Atook a toll
  2. Btaken a toll
  3. CNo substitution required
  4. Dtake a toll
Show answer

Concept: A finite verb is needed in the main clause. 'Taking' is a participle and cannot stand alone as the verb. Since the trip is 'last' (completed), the simple past is required.

  1. Subject: His last trip around the world – needs a main verb.
  2. 'Last trip' shows a finished past event → simple past took.
  3. His last trip around the world took a toll on his health.
  4. (B) 'taken' needs has/had; (D) 'take' is present and wrong with a singular subject; (C) keeps the error.

Trick: '-ing' or V3 alone can never be the main verb – add a helper or use a finite form.

Answer: (A) took a toll

अवधारणा: मुख्य उपवाक्य में finite verb चाहिए। 'Taking' अकेले verb नहीं बन सकता। 'Last trip' पूरा हो चुका काम है, इसलिए simple past चाहिए।

  1. Subject His last trip around the world के लिए मुख्य क्रिया चाहिए।
  2. 'Last' से भूतकाल स्पष्ट → took।
  3. सही वाक्य: His last trip around the world took a toll on his health. (स्वास्थ्य पर बुरा असर डाला)
  4. (B) 'taken' के साथ has/had चाहिए; (D) 'take' present है और singular subject के साथ गलत।

ट्रिक: अकेला '-ing' या V3 कभी मुख्य क्रिया नहीं होता।

उत्तर: (A) took a toll

Q1003.
Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.
Against the clock
  1. ARunning faster with a clock in hand
  2. BIn a great hurry, as fast as possible
  3. CRunning faster without a clock
  4. DRace with others to win
Show answer

Concept: Against the clock means working in a great hurry to finish something before a deadline – as fast as possible.

  1. Example: The workers raced against the clock to finish the bridge before the monsoon.
  2. The idiom is figurative: no actual clock or running is involved, so (A) and (C) are literal and wrong.
  3. (D) 'race with others' – the competition is with time, not with people.

Trick: Your rival is the clock (time), not other people.

Answer: (B) In a great hurry, as fast as possible

अवधारणा: Against the clock का अर्थ है समय-सीमा से पहले काम पूरा करने के लिए बहुत जल्दी में, जितना तेज़ हो सके।

  1. उदाहरण: The workers raced against the clock to finish the bridge. – मजदूरों ने समय से होड़ लगाकर पुल पूरा किया।
  2. यह लाक्षणिक (figurative) है; असली घड़ी लेकर दौड़ना नहीं – (A), (C) गलत।
  3. (D) में मुकाबला लोगों से है, जबकि idiom में मुकाबला समय से है।

ट्रिक: यहाँ प्रतिद्वंद्वी घड़ी (समय) है, लोग नहीं।

उत्तर: (B) In a great hurry, as fast as possible

Q1004.
The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any
error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
The knight was received / compliments from the king / for his bravery.
  1. ANo error
  2. Bfor his bravery
  3. Ccompliments from the king
  4. DThe knight was received
Show answer

Concept: The verb receive is used in the active voice when the subject itself gets something: X received Y. 'Was received' is passive and would mean the knight himself was received (welcomed).

  1. The knight is the one who got the compliments → active voice.
  2. Correct: The knight received compliments from the king for his bravery.
  3. 'was received compliments' wrongly mixes passive form with an object.
  4. The other parts are correct.

Trick: If the subject is the receiver of an object, use active 'received', not 'was received'.

Answer: (D) The knight was received

अवधारणा: जब subject खुद कोई चीज़ पाता है तो active voice received लगता है। 'Was received' passive है, जिसका अर्थ होगा कि knight का स्वागत किया गया।

  1. Compliments knight को मिले → active voice चाहिए।
  2. सही वाक्य: The knight received compliments from the king for his bravery.
  3. 'was received compliments' में passive रूप के साथ object जोड़ना गलत है।
  4. बाकी भाग सही हैं।

ट्रिक: Subject को कुछ मिला हो और object मौजूद हो → 'received', 'was received' नहीं।

उत्तर: (D) The knight was received

याद रखें: Seldom = rarely; बाकी तीनों इसके विलोम हैं।

Sharks often use their serated or smooth teeth for seizing prey, cutting or crushing.
  1. Aserated
  2. Bprey
  3. Cseizing
  4. Dcrushing
Show answer

Concept: The correct spelling is serrated (with double 'r'), meaning 'having a jagged, saw-like edge'.

  1. 'serated' misses one 'r' → incorrect.
  2. prey, seizing and crushing are spelt correctly.
  3. Correct sentence: Sharks often use their serrated or smooth teeth…

Yaad rakhein: Serrated comes from Latin serra = saw; keep the 'rr' of a saw.

Answer: (A) serated

  1. 'serated' में एक 'r' कम है → गलत।
  2. prey, seizing, crushing सही लिखे हैं।
  3. सही: Sharks often use their serrated or smooth teeth…

Q1007.
Select the most appropriate synonym of the underlined word in the given sentence. He wanted to buy some books, but his purse did not permit that.
  1. Awarrant
  2. Bpatent
  3. Cgrant
  4. Dtolerate
Show answer

Concept: Permit here means 'to allow / give permission'. The closest synonym among the options is grant (to allow or give).

  1. Sentence: his purse did not allow (grant) that purchase.
  2. 'Patent' is an exclusive right on an invention; 'warrant' means justify; 'tolerate' means put up with something unpleasant.
  3. 'Grant' best keeps the sense of allowing.

Trick: Permit = allow = grant.

Answer: (C) grant

अवधारणा: यहाँ permit का अर्थ है 'अनुमति देना / इजाज़त देना'। विकल्पों में सबसे निकट grant (देना, अनुमति देना) है।

  1. वाक्य: उसका बटुआ (पैसे) उस खरीद की अनुमति नहीं देता था।
  2. 'Patent' – आविष्कार का अधिकार; 'warrant' – उचित ठहराना; 'tolerate' – सहन करना।
  3. 'Grant' ही अनुमति देने का भाव रखता है।

ट्रिक: Permit = allow = grant।

उत्तर: (C) grant

Utilitarian
  1. AEvident
  2. BNecessary
  3. CSpacious
  4. DUnnecessary
Show answer

Concept: Utilitarian means 'designed to be useful or practical; necessary for use'. Its opposite is unnecessary.

  1. Utilitarian ≈ useful, practical, functional.
  2. (B) 'Necessary' is close in meaning, not opposite.
  3. Evident (clear) and spacious (roomy) are unrelated.

Trick: Utilitarian = utility (use) → opposite = of no use = unnecessary.

Answer: (D) Unnecessary

अवधारणा: Utilitarian का अर्थ है 'उपयोगी, व्यावहारिक, काम का'। इसका विलोम unnecessary (अनावश्यक) है।

  1. Utilitarian ≈ useful, practical।
  2. (B) 'Necessary' समानार्थी जैसा है, विलोम नहीं।
  3. Evident (स्पष्ट) और spacious (विशाल) असंबंधित हैं।

ट्रिक: Utilitarian में utility (उपयोग) छिपा है → विलोम = अनावश्यक।

  2. BIntubate
  3. CIncredible
  4. DIncredulous
Show answer

Concept: The correct spelling is Interminable (in + termin + able), meaning endless or seemingly never-ending.

  1. Root: terminus = end; 'interminable' = without end.
  2. 'Intermenable' wrongly uses 'e' instead of 'i' → incorrect.
  3. Intubate, Incredible and Incredulous are correct.

Trick: Think 'terminate': in-TERMIN-able.

Answer: (A) Intermenable

अवधारणा: सही वर्तनी Interminable है (in + termin + able), अर्थ – अंतहीन।

The owner underestimated the damage caused to the walls of the apartment.
  1. ACalculated
  2. BCharged
  3. CMisled
