Q2301.Choose the one word substitute for the below sentence.
The student was well known throughout the school for breaking rules and getting into minor trouble so often that teachers mentioned his name with a sigh and classmates instantly recognised his reputation.
- ANotorious
- BWanderer
- CInsolent
- DTruant
Show answer
Concept: Pick the single word that means 'famous for something bad'.
- Key clue: everyone knows the student, but for breaking rules and trouble – a negative fame.
- Notorious = widely known for a bad trait or act. Fits exactly.
- Insolent = rude (not about fame); Truant = one who skips school; Wanderer = one who roams.
Trick: Famous for good → renowned; famous for bad → notorious.
Answer: (A) Notorious
अवधारणा: ऐसा शब्द चुनना है जिसका अर्थ हो 'बुरे काम के लिए प्रसिद्ध'।
- छात्र सबको पता है, पर नियम तोड़ने और शरारत के लिए – यानी बदनामी वाली प्रसिद्धि।
- Notorious = किसी बुरी आदत/काम के लिए कुख्यात। सही बैठता है।
- Insolent = बदतमीज़; Truant = स्कूल से भागने वाला; Wanderer = घुमक्कड़ – इनमें 'प्रसिद्धि' का भाव नहीं।
ट्रिक: अच्छे काम से प्रसिद्ध = renowned; बुरे काम से प्रसिद्ध = notorious (कुख्यात)।
उत्तर: (A) Notorious
Q2302.The sentence below has errors in two parts which are highlighted in bold. Identify the same.
It is difficult to measure the number of individuals who are offered, (A) and continue to offer, (B) their skills, dedication, resources, ( ) and energy in the support (D) against discrimination.
- ABD
- BAB
- CAC
- DAD
Show answer
Concept: Check each bold part for voice, parallelism and the right fixed expression.
- (A) 'who are offered' is passive, but these people give their skills → active 'who have offered', matching 'continue to offer'.
- (B) 'and continue to offer' and (C) 'resources' are fine.
- (D) 'in the support against discrimination' is not idiomatic → 'in the fight/struggle against discrimination' (or 'in support of the fight').
Trick: If the subject is doing the action (offering skills), a passive verb is a red flag.
Answer: (D) AD
अवधारणा: हर bold भाग में voice, समानांतर रचना और सही मुहावरेदार प्रयोग जाँचें।
- (A) 'who are offered' passive है, जबकि लोग स्वयं अपने कौशल दे रहे हैं → 'who have offered' (active), जो 'continue to offer' से मेल खाता है।
- (B) और (C) सही हैं।
- (D) 'in the support against discrimination' अटपटा है → 'in the fight/struggle against discrimination' होना चाहिए।
ट्रिक: कर्ता खुद काम कर रहा हो तो passive verb दिखते ही गलती पकड़ें।
उत्तर: (D) AD
Q2303.Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
- AThey did nothing but argue.
- BThey did nothing but to argue.
- CThey did nothing but argued.
- DThey do nothing than argue.
Show answer
Concept: 'Do/did nothing but' is followed by the bare infinitive (V1 without 'to').
- Tense is already shown by 'did', so the verb after 'but' stays V1.
- 'but to argue' – extra 'to' ✗; 'but argued' – past form ✗; 'nothing than' – wrong word ✗.
- Correct: They did nothing but argue.
Trick: nothing but / cannot but / had better / would rather → all take plain V1.
Answer: (A) They did nothing but argue.
अवधारणा: 'Do/did nothing but' के बाद 'to' के बिना क्रिया का पहला रूप (V1) आता है।
- Tense 'did' में दिख चुका है, इसलिए 'but' के बाद V1 ही रहेगा।
- 'but to argue' में 'to' अतिरिक्त है; 'but argued' में V2 गलत; 'nothing than' गलत शब्द है।
- सही वाक्य: They did nothing but argue.
ट्रिक: nothing but, cannot but, had better, would rather – इन सबके बाद सीधे V1।
उत्तर: (A) They did nothing but argue.
Q2304.Complete the sentence with the most appropriate phrase.
The two sides were unable to during the negotiations, which led to the cancellation of the agreement.
- Acome around
- Bsee eye to eye
- Cbreak down
- Dcarry out
Show answer
Concept: Choose the idiom that means 'to agree' since the deal was cancelled.
- Result clause: the agreement got cancelled → the sides did not agree.
- See eye to eye = to fully agree with someone. 'Unable to see eye to eye' = disagreed.
- Come around = change one's view; break down = collapse/stop working; carry out = perform a task.
Trick: Read the result part first ('cancellation') – it tells you the blank must mean agreement.
Answer: (B) see eye to eye
अवधारणा: सौदा रद्द हुआ, इसलिए ऐसा मुहावरा चाहिए जिसका अर्थ 'सहमत होना' हो।
- परिणाम: समझौता रद्द हुआ → दोनों पक्ष सहमत नहीं हुए।
- See eye to eye = पूरी तरह सहमत होना। 'unable to see eye to eye' = असहमत रहना।
- Come around = राय बदलना; break down = टूट जाना/खराब होना; carry out = कार्य पूरा करना।
ट्रिक: पहले परिणाम वाला भाग पढ़ें ('cancellation') – उसी से खाली जगह का अर्थ तय हो जाता है।
उत्तर: (B) see eye to eye
Q2305.Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
The play depicts the central character as a person, imperfect yet morally aware and capable of making mistakes.
- Ainvincible
- Bfallible
- Cmalevolent
- Dindifferent
Show answer
Concept: The phrase after the blank defines the missing adjective.
- Clue: 'imperfect … capable of making mistakes'.
- Fallible = able to make errors. Exact match.
- Invincible = unbeatable; malevolent = wishing harm; indifferent = uncaring – none says 'makes mistakes'.
Trick: fall-ible → one who can 'fall' into error. Opposite: infallible.
Answer: (B) fallible
अवधारणा: खाली स्थान के बाद वाला भाग ही शब्द का अर्थ बता रहा है।
- संकेत: 'imperfect … capable of making mistakes' (गलती कर सकने वाला)।
- Fallible = जिससे भूल हो सकती है। बिल्कुल सही।
- Invincible = अजेय; malevolent = दुर्भावनापूर्ण; indifferent = उदासीन।
ट्रिक: fall-ible = जो गलती में 'गिर' सकता है; विलोम – infallible (अचूक)।
उत्तर: (B) fallible
Q2306.Select the most appropriate synonym of the word: TERROR
- AComfort
- BStimulation
- CFright
- DVictory
Show answer
Concept: Terror = intense fear; find the word with the same sense.
- Fright = sudden strong fear → closest to terror.
- Comfort = ease (opposite feel); Stimulation = excitement; Victory = win.
Yaad rakhein: Fear family: terror, fright, dread, panic, horror.
Answer: (C) Fright
अवधारणा: Terror = अत्यधिक डर; इसी अर्थ वाला शब्द चुनें।
- Fright = अचानक तेज़ डर → terror के सबसे निकट।
- Comfort = आराम; Stimulation = उत्तेजना; Victory = जीत – मेल नहीं खाते।
याद रखें: डर वाले शब्द: terror, fright, dread, panic, horror।
उत्तर: (C) Fright
Q2307.Select the incorrectly spelt word in the given sentence.
Despite repeated warnings from the doctor, he remained obstinate and refused to change his unheathy eating habits.
- Arepeated
- Bwarnings
- Cobstinate
- Dunheathy
Show answer
Concept: Break the word into its root to check the spelling.
- un + health + y → unhealthy; the 'l' of health is missing in 'unheathy'.
- repeated, warnings, obstinate – all correct.
Trick: Spot the root word inside a long word; missing root letters = error.
Answer: (D) unheathy
अवधारणा: शब्द को मूल शब्द में तोड़कर वर्तनी जाँचें।
- un + health + y → unhealthy; 'unheathy' में health का 'l' गायब है।
- repeated, warnings, obstinate – तीनों सही।
ट्रिक: लंबे शब्द में मूल शब्द (root) ढूँढें; root का अक्षर छूटा तो गलती।
उत्तर: (D) unheathy
Q2308.Select the option which contains the correct homonym of the highlighted word in the sentence:
She went on a short (trip) to the hills during the summer break.
- AA journey taken for pleasure or a specific purpose
- BA brief travel from one place to another
- CAn excursion planned for relaxation
- DTo stumble or lose balance while walking
Show answer
Concept: A homonym has the same spelling/sound but a totally different meaning.
- In the sentence, 'trip' (noun) = a short journey.
- Options A, B, C all repeat this journey meaning – so they are not homonyms.
- Only D gives a new meaning: trip (verb) = to stumble or lose balance.
Trick: Three options saying the same thing = the odd one out is the answer.
Answer: (D) To stumble or lose balance while walking
अवधारणा: Homonym में शब्द वही होता है पर अर्थ बिल्कुल अलग।
- वाक्य में 'trip' (संज्ञा) = छोटी यात्रा।
- A, B, C तीनों यात्रा वाला अर्थ ही दोहराते हैं – ये homonym नहीं।
- केवल D में नया अर्थ है: trip (क्रिया) = ठोकर खाना/लड़खड़ाना।
ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प एक ही अर्थ बताएँ तो अलग अर्थ वाला चौथा ही उत्तर है।
उत्तर: (D) To stumble or lose balance while walking
Q2309.Select the most appropriate antonym of the word: Defection
- ABlasphemy
- BRenunciation
- CConformist
- DDemur
Show answer
Concept: Defection = leaving one's side/party to join another (disloyalty).
- Opposite idea: staying with and following the accepted group.
- Conformist = one who sticks to accepted norms – the nearest opposite.
- Renunciation = giving up (similar sense); Blasphemy = insult to God; Demur = objection.
Yaad rakhein: Defector ↔ loyalist/conformist.
Answer: (C) Conformist
अवधारणा: Defection = अपना दल/पक्ष छोड़कर दूसरे में जाना (दलबदल)।
- विपरीत भाव: समूह के साथ बने रहना और उसके नियम मानना।
- Conformist = स्थापित नियमों का पालन करने वाला – निकटतम विलोम।
- Renunciation = त्याग (लगभग समान भाव); Blasphemy = ईश-निंदा; Demur = आपत्ति।
याद रखें: Defector (दलबदलू) ↔ loyalist/conformist (वफ़ादार)।
उत्तर: (C) Conformist
Q2310.Select the most appropriate meaning of the word: Bastion.
- Aa building where military personnel live.
- Ba defensive wall
- Ca projecting part of a fortification
- Da castle that is part of a city
Show answer
Concept: Bastion is a fortification term.
- Bastion = a part of a fort that projects outward from the main wall, letting defenders fire along the wall.
- Not the wall itself (B), not barracks (A), not a castle (D).
- Figurative use: 'a bastion of democracy' = a strong defender of it.
Yaad rakhein: Bastion sticks out of the wall like a bump on a fort's corner.
Answer: (C) a projecting part of a fortification
अवधारणा: Bastion किले से जुड़ा शब्द है।
- Bastion = किले की दीवार से बाहर निकला हुआ भाग (बुर्ज), जहाँ से रक्षक दीवार के साथ-साथ वार कर सकें।
- यह न दीवार है (B), न सैनिक आवास (A), न महल (D)।
- लाक्षणिक अर्थ: 'bastion of democracy' = लोकतंत्र का गढ़।
याद रखें: Bastion = बुर्ज – दीवार से बाहर उभरा हुआ हिस्सा।
उत्तर: (C) a projecting part of a fortification
Q2311.Choose the correct indirect narration of the following statement from the given alternatives:
The coach said, "Will you join the practice session of my team today?"
- AThe coach asked whether they would join the practice session of his team that day.
- BThe coach asked that they will join the practice session of his team today.
- CThe coach asked whether they would joined the practice session of his team that day.
- DThe coach asked whether they would have joined the practice session of his team that day.
Show answer
Concept: Yes/no question → 'asked whether/if' + statement order + backshift.
- said → asked; joiner = whether.
- you → they, my → his, will → would, today → that day.
- Verb after 'would' stays V1: 'would join' (not 'joined' or 'have joined').
Trick: Check three things fast: whether + would + that day → only A has all.
Answer: (A) The coach asked whether they would join the practice session of his team that day.
अवधारणा: Yes/No प्रश्न → 'asked whether/if' + सामान्य वाक्य क्रम + tense पीछे।
- said → asked; जोड़ने वाला शब्द whether।
- you → they, my → his, will → would, today → that day।
- 'would' के बाद V1 ही: 'would join' ('joined' या 'have joined' नहीं)।
ट्रिक: तीन चीज़ें देखें: whether + would + that day → केवल A में तीनों।
उत्तर: (A) The coach asked whether they would join the practice session of his team that day.
Q2312.Change the following sentence into the Active form.
Her miserable condition is said to have been a consequence of her reckless spending.
- APeople say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.
- BPeople said that her miserable condition was a consequence of her reckless spending.
- CThey are saying her miserable condition was a consequence of her reckless spending.
- DHer reckless spending caused her miserable condition, it is said.
Show answer
Concept: 'X is said to have been Y' = passive of 'People say that X has been Y'.
- 'is said' (present) → active 'People say' (present, not 'said').
- Perfect infinitive 'to have been' → 'has been'.
- So: People say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.
Trick: is said to + V1 → say that … V1; is said to have + V3 → say that … has/had + V3 (keep tense of 'is').
Answer: (A) People say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.
अवधारणा: 'X is said to have been Y' = 'People say that X has been Y' का passive रूप।
- 'is said' (present) → active में 'People say' (present ही; 'said' नहीं)।
- 'to have been' (perfect infinitive) → 'has been'।
- अतः: People say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.
ट्रिक: 'is' present है तो 'say' भी present; 'to have been' → 'has been'।
उत्तर: (A) People say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.
Q2313.Select the sentence containing an incorrectly spelt word.
- AThe belligerent player argued loudly with the referee after the decision.
- BHe sat desconsolite in the waiting room after hearing the bad news.
- CThe pulchritude of the mountain landscape left the visitors speechless.
- DShe felt an ineffable sense of joy when she saw her name on the merit list.
Show answer
Concept: Find the misspelt word among the four sentences.
- 'desconsolite' ✗ → disconsolate (dis + consol + ate) = too sad to be comforted.
- belligerent, pulchritude, ineffable – all spelt correctly.
Trick: Think of 'console' → dis-console-ate; prefix is dis-, ending -ate.
Answer: (B) He sat desconsolite in the waiting room after hearing the bad news.
अवधारणा: चारों वाक्यों में गलत वर्तनी वाला शब्द ढूँढें।
- 'desconsolite' गलत → सही disconsolate (dis + consol + ate) = बहुत दुखी, जिसे सांत्वना न मिले।
- belligerent, pulchritude, ineffable – सही हैं।
ट्रिक: 'console' से बनाएँ → dis-console-ate; उपसर्ग dis-, अंत -ate।
उत्तर: (B) He sat desconsolite in the waiting room after hearing the bad news.
Q2314.Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct voice. The supervisor stated that the workers had finished the repair work the previous evening.
- AThe supervisor said, 'The workers have finished the repair work yesterday evening."
- BThe supervisor stated, "The workers had finished the repair work yesterday evening."
- CThe supervisor said, "The workers finished the repair work yesterday evening."
- DThe supervisor said, 'The workers finished the repair work the previous evening."
Show answer
Concept: Reverse the backshift: past perfect → simple past; 'the previous evening' → 'yesterday evening'.
- stated (reporting) → said, with inverted commas.
- had finished → finished; the previous evening → yesterday evening.
- 'have finished yesterday' ✗ (present perfect can't take 'yesterday'); D keeps 'the previous evening' ✗.
Trick: Present perfect never goes with a past time word like 'yesterday' – eliminate A instantly.
Answer: (C) The supervisor said, "The workers finished the repair work yesterday evening."
अवधारणा: Backshift उलटें: had + V3 → V2; 'the previous evening' → 'yesterday evening'।
- stated → said, और उद्धरण चिह्न लगाएँ।
- had finished → finished; the previous evening → yesterday evening।
- 'have finished … yesterday' गलत (present perfect के साथ yesterday नहीं); D में 'the previous evening' बचा है – गलत।
ट्रिक: Present perfect के साथ 'yesterday' जैसे भूतकाल शब्द नहीं आते – A तुरंत हटाएँ।
उत्तर: (C) The supervisor said, "The workers finished the repair work yesterday evening."
Q2315.Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence: The court cannot permit such a vicious criminal in the country to go unpunished.
- ASuch a vicious criminal in the country cannot be permitted to go unpunished by the court.
- BSuch a vicious criminal in the country cannot be permitted to be unpunished by the court.
- CIt cannot be permitted by the court that such a vicious criminal in the country goes unpunished.
- DSuch a vicious criminal in the country must not be permitted to go unpunished by the court.
Show answer
Concept: Modal passive = modal + be + V3; the object becomes the subject.
- Object 'such a vicious criminal in the country' → subject.
- cannot permit → cannot be permitted; 'to go unpunished' stays the same.
- Agent 'by the court' at the end. B changes 'go' to 'be'; D changes cannot to must not.
Trick: Modal and the infinitive part must remain unchanged – only add 'be + V3'.
Answer: (A) Such a vicious criminal in the country cannot be permitted to go unpunished by the court.
अवधारणा: Modal का passive = modal + be + V3; object कर्ता बन जाता है।
- Object 'such a vicious criminal in the country' → subject।
- cannot permit → cannot be permitted; 'to go unpunished' वैसा ही रहेगा।
- अंत में 'by the court'। B ने 'go' को 'be' किया, D ने 'cannot' को 'must not' – दोनों गलत।
ट्रिक: Modal और infinitive भाग नहीं बदलते – केवल 'be + V3' जोड़ें।
उत्तर: (A) Such a vicious criminal in the country cannot be permitted to go unpunished by the court.
Directions (Qs. 16-20): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Children with autism often perceive and respond to the world differently, which can affect their communication, learning patterns, and social interactions. These differences may create challenges in everyday situations, but they also highlight the need for understanding and acceptance. growing awareness, society is beginning to move away from stereotypes and towards a more empathetic approach that values diversity.
An inclusive environment in schools and communities plays a crucial role in the development of children with autism. Inclusive practices encourage interaction, reduce feelings of isolation, and promote mutual respect among peers. Continuous encouragement from parents, teachers, and caregivers helps build confidence and emotional strength.
Equally important is structured support, such as specialised teaching methods, trained professionals, and supportive policies. When society works collectively to provide care and understanding, children with autism are empowered to overcome challenges, grow in confidence, and thrive, meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Trick: Comma + blank after a finished clause → think '-ing' result phrase.
Answer: (C) leading

Q2317.* growing awareness, society is beginning to move away from stereotypes and towards a more empathetic approach that values diversity."
- AInto
- BSince
- CWith
- DOver
Show answer
Concept: 'With' shows something happening alongside/because of another change.
- As awareness grows, society changes → 'With growing awareness, …'.
- Since needs a point of time/reason clause; Into = motion inward; Over = across/above.
Trick: 'With + increasing/growing + noun' is a fixed opening pattern: With rising prices, With growing demand…
Answer: (C) With
अवधारणा: 'With' किसी बदलाव के साथ-साथ होने वाली बात दिखाता है।
- जागरूकता बढ़ने के साथ समाज बदल रहा है → 'With growing awareness, …'।
- Since के बाद समय-बिंदु चाहिए; Into = अंदर की ओर; Over = ऊपर/पार।
