Q61.
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Edible flowers ____ made up of a large group of flowers that have different characteristics.
  1. Aare
  2. Bwas
  3. Cwere
  4. Dis
Show answer

Concept: A plural subject takes a plural verb; general facts use the simple present.

  1. Subject 'Edible flowers' is plural.
  2. A general fact → present tense, so 'was/were' are out.
  3. Plural present verb = 'are': 'Edible flowers are made up of…'.

Trick: Plural noun ending in -s → verb without -s / 'are'.

Answer: (A) are

अवधारणा: बहुवचन कर्ता के साथ बहुवचन क्रिया; सामान्य तथ्य के लिए Simple Present।

  1. Subject 'Edible flowers' बहुवचन है।
  2. यह सामान्य सत्य है → Present tense; 'was/were' हटे।
  3. बहुवचन Present क्रिया = 'are'।

ट्रिक: कर्ता बहुवचन (-s वाला noun) → 'are'/बिना -s की क्रिया।

उत्तर: (A) are

She was able to attract the attention of the judges with her intellect and ____ demeanor.
  1. Arepellent
  2. Bbewitching
  3. Crepugnant
  4. Drevolting
Show answer

Concept: The blank must be positive because it helped her 'attract' the judges.

  1. Bewitching = extremely charming, captivating.
  2. Repellent, repugnant, revolting = disgusting, pushing people away.
  3. Only a pleasing quality matches 'attract the attention'.

Trick: Three options share one meaning (disgusting) – the odd positive word is the answer.

Answer: (B) bewitching

अवधारणा: रिक्त स्थान सकारात्मक होना चाहिए क्योंकि उसी से उसने जजों का ध्यान खींचा।

  1. Bewitching = मोहक, मंत्रमुग्ध करने वाला।
  2. Repellent, repugnant, revolting = घृणित, दूर भगाने वाला।
  3. 'attract the attention' के साथ केवल आकर्षक गुण बैठता है।

ट्रिक: तीन विकल्पों का अर्थ एक जैसा (घृणित) है – अलग सकारात्मक शब्द ही उत्तर।

उत्तर: (B) bewitching

Q63.
Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
Abandon
  1. AHold
  2. BWeave
  3. CLeave
  4. DClaim
Show answer

Concept: Abandon = to leave behind or give up completely.

  1. Leave = go away from / give up – same sense.
  2. Hold and Claim mean to keep – opposite in spirit.
  3. Weave = to make fabric – unrelated.

Trick: Abandon a car = leave the car; substitute and the sentence still makes sense.

Answer: (C) Leave

अवधारणा: Abandon = छोड़ देना, त्याग देना।

  1. Leave = छोड़कर जाना – वही अर्थ।
  2. Hold, Claim = पकड़ना/दावा करना – उलटा भाव।
  3. Weave = बुनना – असंबंधित।

ट्रिक: वाक्य में बदलकर देखें: 'abandon the car' = 'leave the car'।

उत्तर: (C) Leave

Q64.
Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word from the given options.
  1. AAttendance
  2. BAlloting
  3. CAccompany
  4. DAutomatic
Show answer

Concept: In a word stressed on the last syllable ending in vowel + consonant, the consonant doubles before -ing.

  1. al-LOT → allotting (double t).
  2. So 'Alloting' is wrong.
  3. Attendance, Accompany, Automatic are correct.

Trick: Same pattern: commit → committing, admit → admitted, allot → allotted.

Answer: (B) Alloting

अवधारणा: अंतिम अक्षर पर बल हो और शब्द स्वर + व्यंजन पर खत्म हो, तो -ing से पहले व्यंजन दोगुना होता है।

  1. al-LOT → allotting (दो t)।
  2. अतः 'Alloting' गलत है।
  3. Attendance, Accompany, Automatic सही हैं।

ट्रिक: इसी तरह: commit → committing, admit → admitted, allot → allotted।

उत्तर: (B) Alloting

Q65.
Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word.
  1. ACategorically
  2. BCouragiously
  3. CConcurrently
  4. DCharmingly
Show answer

Concept: Words from 'courage' keep the 'e' to keep the soft g sound.

  1. courage + ous = courageous; + ly = courageously.
  2. 'Couragiously' wrongly adds an i in place of e.
  3. Categorically, Concurrently, Charmingly are correct.

Trick: Advantage → advantageous, outrage → outrageous – the 'e' stays before -ous.

Answer: (B) Couragiously

अवधारणा: 'courage' से बने शब्दों में g की कोमल ध्वनि के लिए 'e' बना रहता है।

  1. courage + ous = courageous; + ly = courageously।
  2. 'Couragiously' में e की जगह i गलत है।
  3. Categorically, Concurrently, Charmingly सही हैं।

ट्रिक: advantage → advantageous, outrage → outrageous – -ous से पहले 'e' बना रहता है।

उत्तर: (B) Couragiously

Q66.
In the sentence 'The explanation provided by the professor was succinct', what is the most appropriate ANTONYM of the word 'succinct'?
  1. ALaconic
  2. BLong-winded
  3. CPithy
  4. DConcise
Show answer

Concept: Succinct = brief and clearly expressed.

  1. Its opposite = using too many words = long-winded.
  2. Laconic, pithy and concise all mean brief – synonyms, not antonyms.

Trick: When three options are synonyms of the word, the remaining one is the antonym.

Answer: (B) Long-winded

अवधारणा: Succinct = संक्षिप्त और स्पष्ट।

  1. उलटा = बहुत लंबा-चौड़ा बोलना = long-winded।
  2. Laconic, pithy, concise – सब 'संक्षिप्त' – समानार्थी हैं।

ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प समानार्थी हों तो बचा हुआ ही विलोम है।

उत्तर: (B) Long-winded

Q67.
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Pollution ____ ecosystems and wildlife.
  1. Adamages
  2. Bdamage
  3. Cis damage
  4. Ddamaging
Show answer

Concept: An uncountable noun is singular; in the simple present it takes verb + s.

  1. 'Pollution' is uncountable → singular subject.
  2. General truth → simple present → 'damages'.
  3. 'damaging' alone is not a finite verb; 'is damage' is ungrammatical.

Trick: Singular subject (he/she/it type) + present = verb + s/es.

Answer: (A) damages

अवधारणा: अगणनीय संज्ञा एकवचन होती है; Simple Present में क्रिया + s लगता है।

  1. 'Pollution' अगणनीय → एकवचन कर्ता।
  2. सामान्य सत्य → Simple Present → 'damages'।
  3. केवल 'damaging' मुख्य क्रिया नहीं बन सकता; 'is damage' व्याकरण-विरुद्ध।

ट्रिक: एकवचन कर्ता (he/she/it जैसा) + Present = क्रिया + s/es।

उत्तर: (A) damages

  3. Cthe host at

  1. Aextrovert
  2. Bintrospective
  3. Cunthoughtful
  4. Dsuperficial
Show answer

Concept: Searching for life's meaning is an inward, reflective search.

  1. Introspective = examining one's own thoughts and feelings – fits 'quest' for meaning.
  2. Extrovert describes a person, not a quest.
  3. Unthoughtful and superficial mean shallow – against the idea of deep searching.

Trick: Intro- = inward; a 'meaning of life' quest is inward.

Answer: (B) introspective

अवधारणा: जीवन का अर्थ खोजना एक भीतरी, आत्म-चिंतन वाली खोज है।

  1. Introspective = अपने विचारों-भावनाओं को परखने वाला – 'quest' के साथ सही।
  2. Extrovert व्यक्ति के लिए है, खोज के लिए नहीं।
  3. Unthoughtful, superficial = सतही – गहरी खोज के विपरीत।

ट्रिक: Intro- = भीतर की ओर; जीवन के अर्थ की खोज भीतरी है।

  1. Aapathy
  2. Bremorse
  3. Ccompassion
  4. Dignominy

  1. Compassion = sympathy for others' suffering – fits the list.
  2. The next sentence's 'compassionate attitude' confirms it.
  3. Apathy (indifference), remorse (regret), ignominy (shame) do not fit.

Trick: Words in a list share the same tone – look for the third 'kind' word.

Answer: (C) compassion

अवधारणा: रिक्त स्थान 'kindness and love' की सूची में है, इसलिए वैसी ही कोमल भावना चाहिए।

  1. Compassion = दूसरों के दुःख के प्रति करुणा – सूची में सही बैठता है।
  2. अगले वाक्य में 'compassionate attitude' से पुष्टि।
  3. Apathy (उदासीनता), remorse (पछतावा), ignominy (अपमान) – मेल नहीं।

Concept: 'in all living beings' shows the suffering is found everywhere.

  1. Pervasive = spreading through everything, widespread.
  2. Abrasive (rough) and corrosive (destroying) describe effect, not extent.
  3. Unfamiliar contradicts 'all living beings'.

Trick: 'All / everywhere' clue → pervasive / universal / ubiquitous.

Answer: (D) pervasive

  1. Pervasive = सर्वव्यापी, हर ओर फैला हुआ।
  2. Abrasive (खुरदरा) और corrosive (नष्ट करने वाला) फैलाव नहीं बताते।
  3. Unfamiliar, 'सभी जीवों' वाले भाव के विरुद्ध है।

  1. Ameaningful
  2. Bdiligent
  3. Ctrivial
  4. Dirrational
Show answer

Concept: The passage is about the 'meaning and purpose of life'; the conclusion must match.

  1. Shared suffering + moral excellence → a life with purpose = meaningful.
  2. Trivial and irrational are negative; diligent describes a person, not a life's value.

Trick: The last blank often echoes the opening line – 'meaning' → meaningful.

Answer: (A) meaningful

अवधारणा: अनुच्छेद 'जीवन के अर्थ और उद्देश्य' पर है; निष्कर्ष उसी से मेल खाए।

  1. साझा दुःख की समझ + नैतिक उत्कृष्टता → उद्देश्यपूर्ण जीवन = meaningful।
  2. Trivial, irrational नकारात्मक हैं; diligent व्यक्ति का गुण है, जीवन का नहीं।
