Q3981.Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.
She told her friend that she had visited that place.
- AShe told her friend, "I have visited this place."
- BShe said to her friend, "I visit this place."
- CShe told her friend, "I had visited that place."
- DShe said to her friend, "She visited that place."
Show answer
Concept: Reported past perfect often comes from a direct present perfect.
- 'had visited' → 'have visited'; 'she' → 'I'.
- 'that place' → 'this place'.
- She told her friend, "I have visited this place."
Trick: Check the pronoun and 'this/that' first – C and D still contain reported-speech words.
Answer: (A) She told her friend, "I have visited this place."
अवधारणा: अप्रत्यक्ष का past perfect प्रायः प्रत्यक्ष के present perfect से आता है।
हल:
- 'had visited' → 'have visited'; 'she' → 'I'।
- 'that' → 'this'।
- She told her friend, "I have visited this place."
ट्रिक: पहले सर्वनाम और this/that जाँचें – C, D में अप्रत्यक्ष के शब्द बचे हैं।
उत्तर: (A) She told her friend, "I have visited this place."
Q3982.Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word: DEBILITATE
- AFledgling
- BStrengthen
- CEnervate
- DGroundbreaking
Show answer
Concept: Debilitate = to make weak.
- Opposite: strengthen = make strong.
- Enervate = weaken (a synonym, a trap); fledgling = new/inexperienced; groundbreaking = innovative.
Trick: Debilitate ≈ 'debility' (weakness) → antonym must mean 'make strong'.
Answer: (B) Strengthen
अवधारणा: Debilitate = कमज़ोर करना।
हल:
- विलोम: Strengthen = मज़बूत करना।
- Enervate = कमज़ोर करना (समानार्थी – जाल); Fledgling = नौसिखिया; Groundbreaking = नया/क्रांतिकारी।
ट्रिक: 'debility' = कमज़ोरी → विलोम 'मज़बूत करना'।
उत्तर: (B) Strengthen
Q3983.Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
She advised to her friend to take precautions during the trip.
- Aadvised her friend take precautions
- Badvised to her friend taking precautions
- Cadvised her friend to take precautions
- Dadvised her friend taking precaution
Show answer
Concept: 'Advise' is followed directly by the person, then a to-infinitive.
- No 'to' before the object: 'advised her friend'.
- Action as to-infinitive: 'to take precautions'.
- Correct: She advised her friend to take precautions.
Trick: Same pattern: tell/ask/order/advise + someone + to + V1.
Answer: (C) advised her friend to take precautions
अवधारणा: 'Advise' के बाद सीधे व्यक्ति आता है, फिर to + V1।
हल:
- object से पहले 'to' नहीं: 'advised her friend'।
- फिर 'to take precautions'।
- सही: She advised her friend to take precautions.
ट्रिक: tell/ask/order/advise + व्यक्ति + to + V1 – एक ही ढाँचा।
उत्तर: (C) advised her friend to take precautions
Q3984.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 unique challenges of the project, including its remote location (1)/ and the unpredictable weather patterns, (2)/ makes its successful completion (3)/ a testament to the team's resilience. (4)
- A(1)
- B(2)
- C(3)
- D(4)
Show answer
Concept: The verb agrees with the main subject, not with words added between commas.
- Main subject: 'The unique challenges' (plural).
- 'including … weather patterns' is extra information.
- So 'makes' → 'make' in part (3).
Trick: Cover the comma-phrase with your finger: 'The challenges … makes' – the error jumps out.
Answer: (C) (3)
अवधारणा: क्रिया मुख्य कर्ता से मेल खाती है, बीच के अल्पविराम वाले शब्दों से नहीं।
हल:
- मुख्य कर्ता 'The unique challenges' – बहुवचन।
- 'including … weather patterns' अतिरिक्त जानकारी है।
- अतः भाग (3) में 'makes' → 'make'।
ट्रिक: बीच का वाक्यांश हटाकर पढ़ें: 'challenges … makes' – गलती तुरंत दिखती है।
उत्तर: (C) (3)
Q3985.Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words:
A person who talks too much about trivial matters.
- ALoquacious
- BTaciturn
- CReticent
- DPithy
Show answer
Concept: Loquacious = talking a lot, often about unimportant things.
- Taciturn and reticent = saying little (opposites).
- Pithy = short and meaningful.
Trick: 'Loqu' = speak (as in eloquent, soliloquy) → loquacious = speaks too much.
Answer: (A) Loquacious
अवधारणा: Loquacious = बहुत बोलने वाला, अक्सर छोटी-मोटी बातों पर।
हल:
- Taciturn, Reticent = कम बोलने वाला (विपरीत)।
- Pithy = संक्षिप्त और सारगर्भित।
ट्रिक: 'loqu' = बोलना (eloquent, soliloquy) → loquacious = अधिक बोलने वाला।
उत्तर: (A) Loquacious
Q3986.Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The new manager promised to ____ the old, inefficient procedures with more modern methods.
- Ado up
- Bdo without
- Cdo for
- Ddo away with
Show answer
Concept: Do away with = abolish / get rid of.
- The manager wants to remove old procedures → 'do away with'.
- Do up = repair/fasten; do without = manage without; do for = ruin (informal).
Trick: Blank is followed by 'the old procedures with modern methods' – 'replace X with Y' sense needs 'remove'.
Answer: (D) do away with
अवधारणा: Do away with = समाप्त करना / हटाना।
हल:
- प्रबंधक पुरानी प्रक्रियाएँ हटाना चाहता है → 'do away with'।
- Do up = सजाना/बाँधना; do without = बिना काम चलाना; do for = बर्बाद करना।
ट्रिक: वाक्य का भाव 'पुराना हटाकर नया लाना' है → do away with।
उत्तर: (D) do away with
Q3987.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.
That the expedition faced unforeseen challenges (1)/ in the treacherous mountain terrain (2)/ were evident from their delayed return (3)/ and exhausted appearance. (4)
- A(1)
- B(2)
- C(3)
- D(4)
Show answer
Concept: A 'that'-clause used as subject is treated as singular.
- Subject: 'That the expedition faced unforeseen challenges in … terrain'.
- Plural 'challenges' inside the clause does not decide the verb.
- So 'were evident' → 'was evident' (part 3).
Trick: Replace the whole clause with 'It': 'It was evident…' – shows singular instantly.
Answer: (C) (3)
अवधारणा: 'That' से शुरू होने वाला उपवाक्य कर्ता हो तो एकवचन माना जाता है।
हल:
- कर्ता: 'That the expedition faced unforeseen challenges…' पूरा उपवाक्य।
- अंदर का 'challenges' क्रिया तय नहीं करता।
- भाग (3): 'were evident' → 'was evident'।
ट्रिक: पूरे उपवाक्य की जगह 'It' रखें: 'It was evident' – एकवचन स्पष्ट।
उत्तर: (C) (3)
Q3988.Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.
Achilles' heel
- AA strong point or advantage
- BA minor injury to the foot
- CA hidden weakness or vulnerability
- DA point of no return
Show answer
Concept: Achilles' heel = a small but fatal weakness.
- From Greek myth: hero Achilles could be wounded only at his heel.
- So it means a hidden weak point in an otherwise strong person/system, not a physical injury.
Trick: Opposite of a strength – eliminate A immediately; B is the literal trap.
Answer: (C) A hidden weakness or vulnerability
अवधारणा: Achilles' heel = छोटी पर घातक कमज़ोरी।
हल:
- यूनानी कथा: वीर अकिलीज़ केवल एड़ी पर ही घायल हो सकता था।
- अर्थ: मज़बूत व्यक्ति/व्यवस्था की छिपी कमज़ोरी; पैर की चोट नहीं।
ट्रिक: A उल्टा अर्थ है, B शाब्दिक जाल।
उत्तर: (C) A hidden weakness or vulnerability
Q3989.Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The ancient scroll, previously thought to be lost, ____ in a hidden chamber.
- Awas discovered
- Bis discovered
- Cdiscovers
- Dare discovered
Show answer
Concept: A thing that is found needs a passive verb; tense from context.
- The scroll cannot discover anything → passive needed (rules out C).
- 'previously thought to be lost' → past event → 'was discovered'.
- Singular 'scroll' → not 'are'.
Trick: Non-living subject + action done to it = be + V3.
Answer: (A) was discovered
अवधारणा: जिस वस्तु को खोजा गया, उसके लिए कर्मवाच्य क्रिया चाहिए।
हल:
- Scroll खुद कुछ नहीं खोज सकता → passive (C हटे)।
- 'previously thought to be lost' → भूतकाल → 'was discovered'।
- एकवचन 'scroll' → 'are' नहीं।
ट्रिक: निर्जीव कर्ता + उस पर हुई क्रिया = be + V3।
उत्तर: (A) was discovered
Q3990.Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word: LOQUACIOUS
- AQuiet
- BVerbose
- CIntroverted
- DMute
Show answer
Concept: Loquacious = very talkative.
- Verbose = using too many words → same idea.
- Quiet, introverted, mute = little or no talking (opposites).
Trick: Three options mean 'silent' – the one odd option is the synonym.
Answer: (B) Verbose
अवधारणा: Loquacious = बहुत बातूनी।
हल:
- Verbose = ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा शब्द बोलने वाला → समान अर्थ।
- Quiet, Introverted, Mute = कम/न बोलने वाले (विपरीत)।
ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प 'चुप' अर्थ वाले हैं – अलग वाला ही समानार्थी।
उत्तर: (B) Verbose

1. This essential gas then diffuses into the bloodstream, binding with haemoglobin in red blood cells.
2. Respiration is a complex physiological process vital for sustaining human life.
3. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide, a waste product, moves from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled.
4. It begins with the inhalation of air, where oxygen travels through the airways to tiny air sacs called alveoli in the lungs.
- A2, 4, 1, 3
- B4, 1, 2, 3
- C2, 1, 4, 3
- D1, 3, 2, 4
Show answer
Concept: Topic sentence → process start → next step → simultaneous step.
- 2 names the topic 'Respiration' → opener.
- 4 'It begins with inhalation…' follows; 1 'This essential gas' = oxygen from 4.
- 3 'Simultaneously…' adds the CO₂ step last → 2-4-1-3.
Trick: 'This essential gas' needs oxygen mentioned earlier → 4 must come right before 1.
Answer: (A) 2, 4, 1, 3
अवधारणा: विषय वाक्य → प्रक्रिया की शुरुआत → अगला चरण → साथ-साथ होने वाला चरण।
हल:
- वाक्य 2 विषय (Respiration) बताता है → पहला।
- 4 'It begins with…' फिर 1 'This essential gas' (= ऑक्सीजन)।
- 3 'Simultaneously…' (CO₂) अंत में → 2-4-1-3।
ट्रिक: 'This essential gas' से पहले ऑक्सीजन का ज़िक्र (वाक्य 4) ज़रूरी।
उत्तर: (A) 2, 4, 1, 3

He decided to marry with her despite his parents' objections.
- Amarry her
- Bmarrying with her
- Cto marry to her
- Dto marry her

- 'marry with her' / 'marry to her' are wrong.
- 'decided' needs 'to + V1'.
- Correct: He decided to marry her.
Trick: 'Get married to someone' takes 'to', but 'marry someone' takes nothing.
Answer: (D) to marry her
अवधारणा: 'Marry' के बाद सीधे object; 'decide' के बाद to + V1।
हल:
- 'marry with her' या 'marry to her' गलत।
- 'decided' के बाद 'to' चाहिए।
- सही: He decided to marry her.
ट्रिक: 'get married to' में 'to' आता है, पर 'marry' के बाद कुछ नहीं।
उत्तर: (D) to marry her

- BThe final report must have been submitted by them before the deadline.
- CThe final report was submitted by them before the deadline.
- DThe final report had to be submitted by them before the deadline.
Show answer
Concept: Modal + have + V3 → modal + have been + V3.
- 'must have submitted' → 'must have been submitted'.
- Object 'the final report' becomes subject; agent 'by them'.
- A loses 'have', C loses 'must', D changes meaning.
Trick: Keep every auxiliary of the active verb and just add 'been' before V3.
Answer: (B) The final report must have been submitted by them before the deadline.
अवधारणा: Modal + have + V3 → modal + have been + V3।
हल:
- 'must have submitted' → 'must have been submitted'।
- 'the final report' कर्ता; 'by them'।
- A में 'have' नहीं, C में 'must' नहीं, D अर्थ बदल देता है।
ट्रिक: सक्रिय वाक्य की सभी सहायक क्रियाएँ रखें, V3 से पहले केवल 'been' जोड़ें।
उत्तर: (B) The final report must have been submitted by them before the deadline.
