Q2781.Choose the one-word substitute for the below sentence.
She is opposed to any war or violent conflict.
- APacifist
- BTerrorist
- CMercenary
- DRevolutionary
Show answer
Concept: A person who opposes all war and violence is a pacifist.
- Root: 'pax/pac' = peace (pacify, Pacific).
- Terrorist uses violence; mercenary fights for money; revolutionary seeks sweeping change.
Trick: 'Pac' = peace → pacifist; quick root-based elimination.
Answer: (A) Pacifist
अवधारणा: जो हर युद्ध और हिंसा का विरोध करे – Pacifist (शांतिवादी)।
- मूल 'pac' = शांति (pacify)।
- Terrorist हिंसा करता है, Mercenary पैसे के लिए लड़ता है, Revolutionary क्रांतिकारी।
ट्रिक: 'pac' = शांति → pacifist।
उत्तर: (A) Pacifist
Q2782.Choose the one-word substitute for the below sentence.
Openly holding beliefs that go against the established religious doctrines.
- ASedition
- BHeresy
- CBlasphemy
- DFaction
Show answer
Concept: A belief or opinion opposed to accepted religious doctrine = heresy.
- Holder of such belief = heretic.
- Sedition = inciting rebellion against the state; blasphemy = insulting God/sacred things; faction = a group within a group.
Trick: Heresy = against doctrine; Blasphemy = disrespect to God – a common confusion pair.
Answer: (B) Heresy
अवधारणा: स्थापित धार्मिक मान्यताओं के विरुद्ध विचार = Heresy (विधर्म)।
- ऐसा व्यक्ति = heretic
- Sedition = राजद्रोह, Blasphemy = ईश-निंदा, Faction = गुट।
ट्रिक: Heresy = सिद्धांत के विरुद्ध; Blasphemy = ईश्वर का अपमान।
उत्तर: (B) Heresy
Q2783.Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Hardly had the train left the station ____ it started raining heavily.
- Awhen
- Bthan
- Cbefore
- Duntil
Show answer
Concept: 'Hardly/Scarcely' is always followed by 'when' (or 'before'); 'No sooner' takes 'than'.
- Hardly had the train left the station when it started raining heavily.
Trick: Hardly/Scarcely → when; No sooner → than. 'Than' with hardly is a classic trap.
Answer: (A) when
अवधारणा: 'Hardly/Scarcely' के साथ 'when' आता है; 'No sooner' के साथ 'than'।
- Hardly had the train left the station when it started raining heavily.
ट्रिक: Hardly/Scarcely → when, No sooner → than।
उत्तर: (A) when
Q2784.The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
The committee is committed (1)/ for ensuring that all members (2)/ have an equal opportunity (3)/ to voice their opinions. (4)
- A(1)
- B(2)
- C(3)
- D(4)
Show answer
Concept: 'Committed' takes the preposition 'to' (followed by a noun or -ing).
- Part (2) has 'for ensuring' – wrong preposition.
- Correct: The committee is committed to ensuring that all members…
Trick: Same pattern: dedicated to, devoted to, look forward to + V-ing.
Answer: (B) (2)
अवधारणा: 'Committed' के बाद 'to' (+ संज्ञा या V-ing) आता है।
- भाग (2) में 'for ensuring' – गलत preposition।
- सही: …is committed to ensuring that all members…
ट्रिक: dedicated to, devoted to, look forward to + V-ing भी ऐसे ही।
उत्तर: (B) (2)
Q2785.Select the option that expresses the given sentence in the Active/Passive voice.
They have completed the project successfully.
- AThe project has completed successfully by them.
- BThe project was completed successfully by them.
- CThe project has been completed successfully by them.
- DThe project is being completed successfully by them.
Show answer
Concept: Present perfect passive = has/have + been + V3.
- Object 'the project' (singular) → 'has been completed'.
- Passive: The project has been completed successfully by them.
Trick: Tense must stay the same – reject options that switch to was/is being; 'been' is compulsory.
Answer: (C) The project has been completed successfully by them.
अवधारणा: Present perfect का passive = has/have + been + V3
- कर्म 'the project' एकवचन → 'has been completed'
- सही: The project has been completed successfully by them.
ट्रिक: काल न बदलें; 'been' अनिवार्य है।
उत्तर: (C) The project has been completed successfully by them.
Q2786.The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
It was not until she finished her degree (1)/ and gained some experience (2)/ did she feel confident enough (3)/ to start her own business. (4)
- A(1)
- B(2)
- C(3)
- D(4)
Show answer
Concept: The cleft pattern 'It was not until X that + subject + verb' uses normal word order.
- Part (3) 'did she feel' wrongly inverts the verb.
- Correct: …that she felt confident enough to start her own business.
Trick: Inversion goes with 'Not until X did she…' (sentence starting with Not until), never after 'It was not until'.
Answer: (C) (3)
अवधारणा: 'It was not until X that + subject + verb' में सामान्य क्रम आता है।
- भाग (3) में 'did she feel' – गलत inversion।
- सही: …that she felt confident enough…
ट्रिक: Inversion तभी जब वाक्य 'Not until…' से शुरू हो, 'It was not until' के बाद नहीं।
उत्तर: (C) (3)
Q2787.Choose the sentence that uses a homonym of the highlighted word:
The mason carefully repaired the worn stone corbel.
- AThe heavy corbel split under the pressure of the vaulted stone.
- BGothic architects often decorated each corbel with intricate designs.
- CThe strategist referred to a political corbel in his Machiavellian plan.
- DThe monk sat in quiet meditation beneath the ancient corbel.
Show answer
Concept: In the given sentence 'corbel' is an architectural bracket jutting out of a wall to support weight.
- (A), (B), (D): split under vaulted stone, decorated by Gothic architects, sat beneath – all the same architectural bracket.
- (C): a 'political corbel' in a strategist's plan uses the word in a different, non-architectural sense – so it is the homonym use.
Trick: For homonym questions, find the sentence whose context breaks the field of the original (here building vs politics).
Answer: (C) The strategist referred to a political corbel in his Machiavellian plan.
अवधारणा: दिए वाक्य में 'corbel' = दीवार से निकला पत्थर/लकड़ी का सहारा (ब्रैकेट)।
- (A), (B), (D) में वही वास्तु-ब्रैकेट वाला अर्थ है।
- (C) में 'political corbel' – राजनीति के संदर्भ में अलग अर्थ, अतः यही homonym प्रयोग है।
ट्रिक: जिस वाक्य का संदर्भ मूल क्षेत्र (भवन निर्माण) से अलग हो, वही चुनें।
उत्तर: (C) The strategist referred to a political corbel in his Machiavellian plan.
Directions (Qs. 88-92): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Industrialization in colonial India represented a paradox of progress — an appearance of modernization concealing deep economic subordination. The British industrial revolution, powered by technological innovation and capitalist expansion, found in India both a vast market and a limitless source of raw materials. Yet, rather than fostering indigenous industrial growth, colonial policies deliberately stifled it. India, once renowned for its textile craftsmanship, saw its thriving handloom sector dismantled through a combination of tariff manipulation, import domination, and the flooding of British-manufactured goods. The railways, often celebrated as symbols of modernization, primarily served the colonial purpose of resource extraction and troop movement rather than national integration. Similarly, irrigation and infrastructure projects were designed less for agricultural welfare and more for enhancing revenue collection and export efficiency. The colonial economy thus functioned as an appendage to British industry — structured to benefit the metropolis while impoverishing the colony. The decline of local industries displaced artisans and created widespread unemployment, while the agrarian population faced mounting land revenue demands and indebtedness. The resulting deindustrialization transformed India from a producer of finished goods to a supplier of raw materials like cotton, jute, and indigo. Even the emergence of Indian entrepreneurs in the late nineteenth century occurred within a highly restrictive framework that favoured British capital. Industrial growth was permitted only when it aligned with imperial interests, reinforcing dependency rather than self-sufficiency. This economic pattern laid the foundation for structural inequalities that persisted long after independence. The rhetoric of "development" during colonial rule thus masked an exploitative design, where progress was measured not by Indian prosperity but by the profitability of the empire.
Q2788.What was the main objective of British industrial policy in India according to the passage?
- APromoting local entrepreneurship
- BEncouraging technological independence
- CSupporting British economic interests
- DStrengthening rural self-reliance
Show answer
Concept: Find the line that states whom the colonial economy served.
- The passage calls India's economy an 'appendage to British industry', built to benefit the metropolis.
- It also says Indian industry was deliberately stifled – so (A), (B), (D) contradict the text.
Trick: Options praising Indian growth clash with the passage's critical tone – eliminate them first.
Answer: (C) Supporting British economic interests
अवधारणा: वह पंक्ति खोजें जो बताए कि औपनिवेशिक अर्थव्यवस्था किसके हित में थी।
- गद्यांश के अनुसार भारत की अर्थव्यवस्था ब्रिटिश उद्योग का 'appendage' थी – लाभ ब्रिटेन को।
- स्वदेशी उद्योग को जानबूझकर दबाया गया – (A), (B), (D) गलत।
ट्रिक: गद्यांश का स्वर आलोचनात्मक है; भारत के विकास वाले विकल्प पहले हटाएँ।

- AThey were built primarily for social reform.
- BThey aimed to enhance colonial control and extraction.
- CThey unified India's diverse population.
- DThey promoted village-level trade.
Show answer
Concept: Locate the sentence on railways.
- Railways mainly served resource extraction and troop movement, 'rather than national integration'.
- Extraction + troops = economic and military control → (B). (C) is directly denied.
Trick: 'Rather than X' in the passage means X is the wrong answer.
Answer: (B) They aimed to enhance colonial control and extraction.
अवधारणा: रेलवे वाली पंक्ति देखें।
- रेलवे मुख्यतः संसाधन ढोने और सेना की आवाजाही के लिए थी, राष्ट्रीय एकीकरण के लिए नहीं।

Q2790.The term "deindustrialization" in the passage refers to -
- AGrowth of British manufacturing in India
- BThe collapse of indigenous industries
- CThe expansion of small-scale crafts
- DIntroduction of modern machinery
Show answer
Concept: The prefix 'de-' means reversal: industry declining instead of growing.
- Passage: handlooms dismantled, artisans displaced, India turned from maker of finished goods into raw-material supplier.
- That is the collapse of native industries.
Trick: De- + industrialization = undoing industry; (A), (C), (D) all describe growth.
Answer: (B) The collapse of indigenous industries
अवधारणा: 'de-' उपसर्ग = उलटा होना; उद्योग का पतन।
- हथकरघा नष्ट, कारीगर बेरोज़गार, भारत तैयार माल की जगह कच्चा माल देने लगा।
- यही स्वदेशी उद्योगों का पतन है।

Q2791.Why were Indian entrepreneurs limited in their success during colonial rule?
- AThey lacked technical knowledge
- BThey faced an unsupportive domestic market
- CThey operated within a biased system favouring British capital
- DThey focused only on agriculture
Show answer
Concept: Look for the sentence about late-19th-century Indian entrepreneurs.
- They worked in a 'highly restrictive framework that favoured British capital'.
- Growth was allowed only when it suited imperial interests → a biased system.
Trick: Pick the option that echoes the passage's own reason; 'lack of knowledge' or 'only agriculture' are never stated.
Answer: (C) They operated within a biased system favouring British capital

Q2792.What long-term impact of colonial economic policy does the passage highlight?
- AIndustrial self-sufficiency after independence
- BEnduring structural economic inequalities
- CRapid technological development
- DDecline of British influence in global trade
Show answer
Concept: 'Long-term' points to the line about effects after independence.
- The pattern 'laid the foundation for structural inequalities that persisted long after independence'.
- So the lasting impact = enduring structural inequalities; (A) is the opposite of 'dependency'.
Trick: Match key words: 'long-term' ↔ 'persisted long after'.
Answer: (B) Enduring structural economic inequalities
अवधारणा: 'Long-term' का संकेत स्वतंत्रता के बाद वाले प्रभाव की पंक्ति की ओर है।

Concept: Reported Wh-question: asked + Wh-word + subject + verb (statement order), tense back-shifted.
- 'said' → 'asked'; 'you' → 'I'; 'are going' → 'was going'.
- She asked where I was going.
Trick: No question order (was I) and no question mark in indirect speech.

- AThe teacher ordered the students to submit their homework the next day.
- BThe teacher said that let the students submit their homework tomorrow.
- CThe teacher told the students submit their homework tomorrow.
- DThe teacher advised the students submitting homework the next day.
Show answer
Concept: 'Let' giving an order/proposal is reported with ordered/told/proposed + to-infinitive.
- Teacher's 'Let the students submit…' is an order to the students → ordered the students to submit.
- 'tomorrow' → 'the next day'.
Trick: In indirect speech 'let' (order sense) disappears; check 'to + V1' and time-word change.
Answer: (A) The teacher ordered the students to submit their homework the next day.

- B"Had I known about the meeting, I would have attended it," she said.
- C"If I would have known about the meeting, I would attend it," she said.
- D"Had I know about the meeting, I would attend it," she said.
Show answer
Concept: Past perfect in a third conditional stays unchanged between direct and indirect speech.
- Direct speech keeps 'had known … would have attended'.
- 'Had I known…' is the inverted form of 'If I had known…' – same meaning.
- Wrong ones: (A) shifts to a second conditional, (C) puts 'would' inside the if-part, (D) writes 'know' instead of 'known'.
Trick: Unreal past: If + had + V3 → would have + V3 – both halves must be perfect.
Answer: (B) "Had I known about the meeting, I would have attended it," she said.
अवधारणा: Third conditional में past perfect, direct और indirect दोनों में वैसा ही रहता है।
- Direct में भी 'had known … would have attended' रहेगा।
- 'Had I known' = 'If I had known' (inversion)।
- (A) second conditional, (C) में if-clause में would, (D) में 'know' गलत।
ट्रिक: If + had + V3 → would have + V3; दोनों भाग perfect।
उत्तर: (B) "Had I known about the meeting, I would have attended it," she said.

- AEulogy
- BCriticism
- CDisrespect
- DCondemnation
Show answer
Concept: Tribute = words or acts showing respect, praise or gratitude.
- Eulogy = speech/writing in high praise (often for someone who has died) – closest.
- Criticism, disrespect, condemnation are negative – opposites.
Trick: 'Eu-' = good (euphony, eulogy) → good words → praise.
Answer: (A) Eulogy
अवधारणा: Tribute = सम्मान या प्रशंसा व्यक्त करना (श्रद्धांजलि)।
- Eulogy = प्रशंसा भरा भाषण/लेख – निकटतम।
- Criticism, Disrespect, Condemnation – नकारात्मक, विलोम।
ट्रिक: 'Eu-' = अच्छा → eulogy = अच्छे शब्द, प्रशंसा।
उत्तर: (A) Eulogy

Show answer
Concept: Start with the sentence that names the topic; pronoun 'It' must come after the noun it refers to.
- 2 names 'Resilience'.
- 1 'It refers to…' defines it.
- 3 shows its benefit; 4 'Consequently' concludes.
Trick: Opener can't begin with a pronoun (It) – so 2 starts; 'Consequently' sits last.
Answer: (A) 2-1-3-4
अवधारणा: विषय का नाम बताने वाला वाक्य पहले; 'It' उसके बाद।
- 2 – Resilience का परिचय।
- 1 – 'It refers to…' परिभाषा।
- 3 – लाभ, 4 – 'Consequently' निष्कर्ष।
ट्रिक: सर्वनाम (It) से अनुच्छेद शुरू नहीं होता; 'Consequently' अंत में।
उत्तर: (A) 2-1-3-4
