Q1081.Choose the correct one-word substitute for:
'A word or phrase used to avoid saying an unpleasant or offensive word.'
- AAllusion
- BEuphemism
- CAnalogy
- DAllegory
Show answer
Concept: Euphemism = a mild, polite word used in place of a harsh or unpleasant one.
- Example: 'passed away' for 'died'.
- Allusion = indirect reference; Analogy = comparison to explain; Allegory = story with a hidden moral meaning.
Trick: Eu- means 'good' (euphoria, eulogy) – a euphemism is a 'good-sounding' word.
Answer: (B) Euphemism
अवधारणा: Euphemism = कठोर या अप्रिय शब्द की जगह प्रयुक्त कोमल/शिष्ट शब्द।
हल:
- उदाहरण: 'died' की जगह 'passed away'।
- Allusion = अप्रत्यक्ष संकेत; Analogy = समझाने हेतु तुलना; Allegory = छिपे नैतिक अर्थ वाली कथा।
ट्रिक: Eu- = 'अच्छा' (euphoria, eulogy) – euphemism यानी अच्छा सुनाई देने वाला शब्द।
उत्तर: (B) Euphemism
Q1082.Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
1. This act of self-preservation helps them survive the cold months when food is scarce.
2. During hibernation, an animal’s heart rate, breathing and metabolism slow down significantly.
3. Many animals, such as bears and groundhogs, hibernate during the winter.
4. To prepare, these animals spend the autumn eating extra food to build up fat reserves.
- A2, 1, 4, 3
- B4, 3, 1, 2
- C3, 2, 1, 4
- D3, 4, 2, 1
Show answer
Concept: Start with the general topic, then follow time order: before → during → result.
- 3 introduces animals that hibernate in winter – opener.
- 4 'To prepare…' tells what they do in autumn (before).
- 2 tells what happens during hibernation; 1 'This act…' sums up its purpose → 3-4-2-1.
Trick: 'These animals' (4) and 'This act' (1) are pointers – they can never open a paragraph.
Answer: (D) 3, 4, 2, 1
अवधारणा: पहले सामान्य विषय, फिर समय-क्रम: पहले → दौरान → परिणाम।
हल:
- 3 शीतनिद्रा करने वाले जानवरों का परिचय देता है – आरंभ।
- 4 'To prepare…' पतझड़ की तैयारी (पहले)।
- 2 शीतनिद्रा के दौरान क्या होता है; 1 'This act…' उद्देश्य बताकर समाप्त → 3-4-2-1।
ट्रिक: 'These animals' (4) और 'This act' (1) संकेतक शब्द हैं – ये कभी पहला वाक्य नहीं होते।
उत्तर: (D) 3, 4, 2, 1
Q1083.Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

- A2-3-1-4
- B4-2-3-1
- C4-3-2-1
- D3-2-1-4
Show answer
Concept: Main idea first, then sequence words: First → Next → Finally.
- 4 gives the central idea (careful planning matters).
- 2 'The first step…', 3 'Next…', 1 'Finally…' → 4-2-3-1.
Trick: Sequence markers (first, next, finally) fix the order by themselves; only (B) starts with 4 and keeps 2-3-1.
Answer: (B) 4-2-3-1
अवधारणा: पहले मुख्य विचार, फिर क्रम-सूचक शब्द: First → Next → Finally।
हल:
- 4 मुख्य विचार देता है (सावधानी से योजना ज़रूरी)।
- 2 'The first step…', 3 'Next…', 1 'Finally…' → 4-2-3-1।
ट्रिक: क्रम-सूचक शब्द (first, next, finally) खुद क्रम तय कर देते हैं; केवल (B) में 4 से शुरू होकर 2-3-1 है।
उत्तर: (B) 4-2-3-1
Q1084.Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words:
'lasting or used for only a short period of time'.
- AEphemeral
- BEternal
- CArchetype
- DChronicle
Show answer
Concept: Ephemeral = lasting for a very short time.
- Example: 'Fame on social media is often ephemeral.'
- Eternal = lasting forever (opposite); Archetype = typical model; Chronicle = record of events in time order.
Yaad rakhein: Synonyms: transient, fleeting, short-lived, momentary.
Answer: (A) Ephemeral
अवधारणा: Ephemeral = बहुत थोड़े समय तक रहने वाला, क्षणभंगुर।
हल:
- उदाहरण: 'Fame on social media is often ephemeral.'
- Eternal = सदा रहने वाला (विपरीत); Archetype = आदर्श नमूना; Chronicle = घटनाओं का कालक्रमिक विवरण।
याद रखें: समानार्थी: transient, fleeting, short-lived, momentary।
उत्तर: (A) Ephemeral
Q1085.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.
A large number of equipments were delivered to the warehouse (1)/ last week (2)/ to support the upcoming production schedule (3)/ without any delay. (4)
- A(1)
- B(2)
- C(3)
- D(4)
Show answer
Concept: 'Equipment' is uncountable: it never takes -s and goes with 'amount'/'much' and a singular verb.
- 'equipments' is wrong → 'equipment'.
- With an uncountable noun use 'a large amount of … was': 'A large amount of equipment was delivered…'.
- The error is in part (1).
Yaad rakhein: Never pluralise: equipment, furniture, luggage, baggage, information, advice, machinery, scenery.
Answer: (A) (1)
अवधारणा: 'Equipment' अगणनीय (uncountable) है: इसमें -s नहीं लगता, और 'amount'/'much' व एकवचन क्रिया लगती है।
हल:
- 'equipments' गलत → 'equipment'।
- सही: 'A large amount of equipment was delivered…'।
- त्रुटि भाग (1) में है।
याद रखें: इनका बहुवचन कभी नहीं: equipment, furniture, luggage, baggage, information, advice, machinery, scenery।
उत्तर: (A) (1)

- BYour application is reviewed by the board after the interview process.
- CYour application will have been reviewed by the board after the interview process.
- DYour application will be reviewed by the board after the interview process.
Show answer
Concept: Simple future passive: will be + V3.
- Active: The board will review your application.
- Object 'your application' becomes subject; 'will review' → 'will be reviewed'.
- (A) past, (B) present, (C) future perfect – tense changed, so wrong.
Trick: Tense must not change in voice change – match 'will' + 'be' + V3.
Answer: (D) Your application will be reviewed by the board after the interview process.
अवधारणा: Simple future का passive: will be + V3।
हल:
- Active: The board will review your application।
- Object 'your application' subject बनता है; 'will review' → 'will be reviewed'।
- (A) past, (B) present, (C) future perfect – काल बदल गया, अतः गलत।
ट्रिक: Voice बदलते समय tense नहीं बदलता – 'will' + 'be' + V3 देखें।
उत्तर: (D) Your application will be reviewed by the board after the interview process.
Q1087.Select the option which contains the most appropriate HOMONYM of the word given in bold/underline.
Putin was wearing his engagement ring at the family function.
- AThe door bell started to ring while I was sleeping.
- BKavita showed him her engagement ring.
- CA ring of fire surrounded the camp.
- DGirls danced in a circle, forming a ring.
Show answer
Concept: Homonym = same spelling/sound, different meaning.
- In the sentence, 'ring' = a band of metal worn on the finger (noun).
- (B), (C), (D) use 'ring' as a circular object/shape – same basic sense.
- (A) 'the door bell started to ring' = to make a sound (verb) – different meaning, so it is the homonym.
Trick: Look for the option where the part of speech changes (noun → verb) – that usually gives the homonym.
Answer: (A) The door bell started to ring while I was sleeping.
अवधारणा: Homonym = वर्तनी/उच्चारण समान, अर्थ अलग।
हल:
- वाक्य में 'ring' = उँगली में पहनी जाने वाली अँगूठी (noun)।
- (B), (C), (D) में 'ring' गोल वस्तु/आकृति के अर्थ में – मूल अर्थ समान।
- (A) 'door bell started to ring' = आवाज़ करना (verb) – अर्थ अलग, यही homonym है।
ट्रिक: जिस विकल्प में शब्द-भेद बदले (noun → verb), वही प्रायः homonym होता है।
उत्तर: (A) The door bell started to ring while I was sleeping.
Q1088.Select the option that expresses the given sentence in the Active/Passive voice.

- AThe clerical staff had misplaced the documents, it was believed.
- BIt was believed that the clerical staff misplaced the documents.
- CThe clerical staff were believed to misplace the documents.

- Inner clause active: 'the clerical staff misplaced the documents'.
- Outer 'were believed' becomes impersonal 'It was believed that…' → (B).
Trick: Reject options that keep 'by the clerical staff' (still passive) or change the action's time ('to misplace').
Answer: (B) It was believed that the clerical staff misplaced the documents.
अवधारणा: 'X were believed to have been V3 by Y' → active: 'It was believed that Y V2 X'।
हल:
- कर्ता 'the clerical staff' भीतरी उपवाक्य का subject बनता है।
- भीतरी उपवाक्य active: 'the clerical staff misplaced the documents'।
- बाहरी 'were believed' → 'It was believed that…' → (B)।
ट्रिक: 'by the clerical staff' वाले (अब भी passive) या समय बदलने वाले ('to misplace') विकल्प हटाइए।
उत्तर: (B) It was believed that the clerical staff misplaced the documents.
Directions (Qs. 89-93): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The prospect of establishing permanent human settlements on Mars, once relegated to the pages of science fiction, is increasingly viewed as a tangible objective, driven by rapid technological advances and commercial ambitions. Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, represents both an unprecedented opportunity for scientific discovery and a formidable challenge for human survival. Programs led by NASA, in tandem with private enterprises like SpaceX, aim to send humans to the Red Planet within the next few decades, with the goal of creating sustainable habitats. Central to these missions are technologies such as advanced life-support systems, radiation shielding, autonomous energy production and in-situ resource utilization, which includes converting subsurface water ice into potable water, breathable oxygen and fuel for return journeys. Yet the Martian environment remains harsh and inhospitable: extreme temperature fluctuations, low atmospheric pressure, high radiation levels and the psychological strain of isolation pose significant obstacles. In addition, the legal framework governing extraterrestrial property remains ambiguous, raising questions about private and commercial rights as corporations increasingly invest in Martian ventures. Despite these challenges, the combination of international collaboration, public investment and private innovation steadily moves humanity closer to realizing the dream of interplanetary habitation.
Q1089.What does the author imply by "increasingly viewed as a tangible objective"?
- AMars colonization is impossible
- BMars exploration is a distant dream
- CMars colonization is becoming realistic
- DMars is already fully inhabited
Show answer
Concept: Read the phrase with its contrast in the same sentence.
- The idea was 'once relegated to science fiction' but is now 'a tangible objective'.
- Tangible = real, achievable → colonising Mars is becoming realistic.
Trick: Words like 'once … now increasingly' signal a change from impossible to possible – reject 'impossible' and 'distant dream'.
Answer: (C) Mars colonization is becoming realistic
अवधारणा: वाक्यांश को उसी वाक्य के विरोधाभास के साथ पढ़ें।
हल:
- यह विचार पहले केवल 'science fiction' में था, पर अब 'tangible objective' है।
- Tangible = वास्तविक, प्राप्त करने योग्य → मंगल पर बसना अब संभव होता जा रहा है।
ट्रिक: 'once … now increasingly' असंभव से संभव की ओर बदलाव बताता है – 'impossible' और 'distant dream' हटाइए।
उत्तर: (C) Mars colonization is becoming realistic

Q1093.Why does the author mention legal ambiguities regarding extraterrestrial property?
- ATo highlight commercial and ownership concerns
- BTo encourage international scientific cooperation
- CTo emphasize astronaut safety
- DTo restrict travel to Mars
Show answer
Concept: Ask why the detail is placed there – what idea it supports.
- The passage says the law on extraterrestrial property is unclear.
- It connects this to 'private and commercial rights' as corporations invest → ownership and business concerns.
Trick: The words right after the detail ('raising questions about…') usually state its purpose.
Answer: (A) To highlight commercial and ownership concerns
अवधारणा: पूछिए कि यह बात यहाँ क्यों रखी गई – किस विचार का समर्थन करती है।
हल:
- गद्यांश के अनुसार अंतरिक्ष में संपत्ति से जुड़ा कानून अस्पष्ट है।

Q1094.Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underline/Bold 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: Pattern: advise + person (no 'to') + to + V1.
- 'advised to her friend' is wrong – 'advise' takes the person directly.
- After the object use the to-infinitive: 'to take precautions'.
- Correct: 'She advised her friend to take precautions.'
Trick: Same pattern: tell/ask/order/request/warn + someone + to do.
Answer: (C) advised her friend to take precautions
अवधारणा: संरचना: advise + व्यक्ति ('to' नहीं) + to + V1।
हल:
- 'advised to her friend' गलत – 'advise' के बाद व्यक्ति सीधे आता है।
- Object के बाद to-infinitive: 'to take precautions'।
- सही: 'She advised her friend to take precautions.'
ट्रिक: यही संरचना: tell/ask/order/request/warn + someone + to do।

Q1095.Select the correct indirect/direct form of the given sentence.
He observed that, had the committee reached a consensus earlier, the proposal might have been approved without objections.
- AHe said, "If the committee reached a consensus earlier, the proposal may have been approved without objections."
- BHe said, "Had the committee reached a consensus earlier, the proposal might have been approved without objections."
- CHe said, "If the committee had reached a consensus earlier, the proposal must have been approved without objections."
- DHe said, "Had the committee reached a consensus earlier, the proposal will have been approved without objections."
Show answer
Concept: Past perfect / 'might have + V3' cannot be shifted further back, so the words stay the same in direct speech.
- 'had the committee reached…' (inverted if-clause) stays as it is.
- 'might have been approved' stays; 'may', 'must', 'will' change the meaning.
- So (B) keeps both parts unchanged.
Trick: Third conditional = Had + subject + V3, … would/might/could have + V3 – check the modal first.
Answer: (B) He said, "Had the committee reached a consensus earlier, the proposal might have been approved without objections."
अवधारणा: Past perfect / 'might have + V3' को और पीछे नहीं ले जा सकते, इसलिए direct speech में शब्द वही रहते हैं।
हल:
- 'had the committee reached…' (उलटा if-clause) वैसा ही रहता है।
- 'might have been approved' वही; 'may', 'must', 'will' अर्थ बदल देते हैं।
- इसलिए (B) में दोनों भाग अपरिवर्तित हैं।
ट्रिक: तृतीय conditional = Had + subject + V3, … would/might/could have + V3 – पहले modal जाँचें।
उत्तर: (B) He said, "Had the committee reached a consensus earlier, the proposal might have been approved without objections."

- BThe doctor said the patient to taking medicines regular and avoiding junk food.
- CThe doctor asked the patient that he takes medicines regularly and avoids junk food.

Show answer
Concept: Command: said to → told/advised + object + to + V1; pronouns change to the reporter's view.
- 'said to the patient' → 'told the patient'.
- 'Take…' → 'to take…'; 'avoid…' → 'to avoid…'; 'your' → 'his'.
- (B) and (C) are ungrammatical; (D) leaves out 'avoid junk food'.
Trick: For two commands joined by 'and', both get 'to': 'to take … and to avoid …'.
Answer: (A) The doctor told the patient to take his medicines regularly and to avoid junk food.
अवधारणा: आज्ञा: said to → told/advised + object + to + V1; सर्वनाम रिपोर्ट करने वाले के अनुसार बदलते हैं।
हल:
- 'said to the patient' → 'told the patient'।
- 'Take…' → 'to take…'; 'avoid…' → 'to avoid…'; 'your' → 'his'।
- (B) और (C) व्याकरण से गलत; (D) में 'avoid junk food' छूट गया।
ट्रिक: 'and' से जुड़े दो आदेशों में दोनों के पहले 'to': 'to take … and to avoid …'।
उत्तर: (A) The doctor told the patient to take his medicines regularly and to avoid junk food.

- 1 introduces AI transforming industries – opener.
- 2 'However…' adds ethical concerns.
- 4 'Despite the risks…' refers back to these concerns; 3 ends with the regulatory response → 1-2-4-3.
Trick: 'Despite the risks' (4) must come after the sentence that names the risks (2) – this alone eliminates (A).
Answer: (C) 1, 2, 4, 3
अवधारणा: परिचय → समस्या (However) → संतुलन (Despite) → समाधान।
हल:
- 1 AI द्वारा उद्योगों में बदलाव का परिचय – आरंभ।
- 2 'However…' नैतिक चिंताएँ जोड़ता है।
- 4 'Despite the risks…' उन्हीं चिंताओं का संदर्भ; 3 नियमों की पहल से समापन → 1-2-4-3।

- Correct: SUB-JEC-TIVE.
- 'subjectif' (French-style ending), 'subgective' (g for j), 'subjuctive' (u for e) are wrong.
Yaad rakhein: Opposite: objective – both keep the 'ject' root (as in project, reject).
Answer: (D) subjective
अवधारणा: Subject + -ive = subjective (व्यक्तिगत मत पर आधारित)।
हल:
- सही: SUB-JEC-TIVE।
- 'subjectif' (फ़्रेंच जैसा अंत), 'subgective' (j की जगह g), 'subjuctive' (e की जगह u) गलत।
याद रखें: विलोम: objective – दोनों में 'ject' मूल है (project, reject की तरह)।
उत्तर: (D) subjective
