Q3601.Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
A. The new policy
B. states that employees suggestions
C. will be reviewed
D. at the monthly meeting.
- AThe new policy
- Bthat employee's suggestions
- Cwill be reviewed
- Dat the monthly meeting.
Show answer
Concept: When something belongs to a plural noun ending in -s, add only an apostrophe (s').
- Whose suggestions? They belong to the employees → a possessive form is needed.
- "Employees" is plural and already ends in -s, so write employees' (not employees or employee's).
- So part B should read: "…states that employees' suggestions…"; other parts are fine.
Trick: Singular owner → 's (the boy's bag); plural owner ending in s → only ' (the boys' bags).
Answer: (B) that employee's suggestions
अवधारणा: जब कोई चीज़ -s पर ख़त्म होने वाले plural noun की हो, तो सिर्फ़ apostrophe (') लगाते हैं।
हल:
- Suggestions किसके हैं? Employees के – इसलिए possessive रूप चाहिए।
- "Employees" पहले से -s वाला plural है, अतः सही रूप employees' होगा।
- अतः भाग B सही रूप में: "…states that employees' suggestions…"; बाकी भाग ठीक हैं।
ट्रिक: एक मालिक → 's (the boy's bag); -s वाले कई मालिक → केवल ' (the boys' bags)।
उत्तर: (B) that employee's suggestions
Q3602.Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
A. During the presentation,
B. she forgot to
C. mention about the
D. key findings of her research.
- ADuring the presentation
- Bshe forgot to
- Cmention about the
- Dkey findings of her research
Show answer
Concept: The verb "mention" is followed straight by its object – no "about" in between.
- "Mention about the key findings" adds an unnecessary "about".
- Remove it: mention the key findings.
- Parts A, B and D are error-free.
Yaad rakhein: Like mention, the verbs discuss, describe, request, reach also take no preposition (discuss about ✗, discuss ✓).
Answer: (C) mention about the
अवधारणा: "Mention" एक transitive verb है – इसका object सीधे आता है, बीच में preposition नहीं।
हल:
- "mention about the key findings" में "about" फालतू है।
- सही रूप: mention the key findings।
- भाग A, B, D में कोई त्रुटि नहीं।
याद रखें: Discuss, describe, request, reach के बाद भी preposition नहीं लगता (discuss about ✗, discuss ✓)।
उत्तर: (C) mention about the
Q3603.Fill in the blank with the most appropriate verb:
The speaker briefly while answering the difficult question, sensing doubt in the audience.
- Apersisted
- Bhesitated
- Cdeclared
- Drepeated
Show answer
Concept: Pick the verb that fits the clue in the sentence – here, "sensing doubt".
- A speaker who senses doubt and faces a hard question pauses for a moment.
- Hesitated = paused because of uncertainty – exactly fits "briefly".
- Persisted (kept going), declared (said firmly), repeated (said again) show no pause caused by doubt.
Trick: Link the adverb "briefly" + "doubt" → a short uncertain pause = hesitate.
Answer: (B) hesitated
अवधारणा: वाक्य के संकेत ("sensing doubt") से सही verb चुनें।
हल:
- कठिन प्रश्न और श्रोताओं में संदेह – ऐसे में वक्ता थोड़ी देर रुकता/झिझकता है।
- Hesitated = अनिश्चितता के कारण रुकना/झिझकना – "briefly" के साथ सही बैठता है।
- Persisted (डटे रहना), declared (घोषणा करना), repeated (दोहराना) – इनमें झिझक का भाव नहीं।
ट्रिक: "briefly" + "doubt" = थोड़ी देर की झिझक = hesitate।
उत्तर: (B) hesitated
Q3604.Select the most appropriate synonym of the word: FORTUITY
- ADestiny
- BChance
- CDesign
- DCertainty
Show answer
Concept: FORTUITY = an accidental happening; luck without any plan.
- Fortuity → something that occurs by accident.
- Chance = an unplanned happening – same sense.
- Destiny and Certainty mean fixed/sure outcomes; Design means a deliberate plan – all opposite in idea.
Trick: Fortuitous sounds like "fortune" – luck, i.e. chance.
Answer: (B) Chance
अवधारणा: FORTUITY = संयोग से होने वाली घटना; बिना योजना के।
हल:
- Fortuity → अचानक/संयोगवश होना।
- Chance = संयोग – यही अर्थ।
- Destiny (भाग्य-निश्चित), Certainty (निश्चितता), Design (योजना) – इनमें "संयोग" का भाव नहीं।
ट्रिक: Fortuity को "fortune" (किस्मत/संयोग) से जोड़कर याद करें = chance।
उत्तर: (B) Chance
Q3605.Select the most appropriate synonym of the word: LUGUBRIOUS
- ACheerful
- BMournful
- CLively
- DOptimistic
Show answer
Concept: LUGUBRIOUS = looking or sounding sad and dismal.
- Lugubrious → gloomy, sorrowful (often overly so).
- Mournful = full of sorrow – matches.
- Cheerful, Lively, Optimistic are all positive – they are antonyms.
Trick: Three options share a "happy" mood – the odd one (sad) is the synonym of a gloomy word.
Answer: (B) Mournful
अवधारणा: LUGUBRIOUS = उदास, शोकपूर्ण, मनहूस-सा।
हल:
- Lugubrious → बहुत उदास या ग़मगीन।
- Mournful = शोक से भरा – सही पर्याय।
- Cheerful, Lively, Optimistic – ये सब ख़ुशी/उत्साह वाले शब्द हैं, यानी विलोम।
ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प "ख़ुशी" वाले हैं – अलग पड़ने वाला उदास शब्द ही उत्तर है।
उत्तर: (B) Mournful
Q3606.Choose the correctly spelt word:
- ASmartton
- BSmartun
- CSmarten
- DSmartenne
Show answer
Concept: Many verbs are made by adding -en to an adjective.
- smart + -en = Smarten (to make neater/brisker).
- Same pattern: short → shorten, bright → brighten, dark → darken.
- Smartton, Smartun, Smartenne are not English words.
Trick: Adjective + "en" = verb (weak → weaken, smart → smarten).
Answer: (C) Smarten
अवधारणा: कई verbs, adjective में -en जोड़कर बनते हैं।
हल:
- smart + -en = Smarten (साफ़-सुथरा/चुस्त बनाना)।
- इसी तरह: short → shorten, bright → brighten।
- Smartton, Smartun, Smartenne – गलत वर्तनी।
ट्रिक: Adjective + "en" = verb (weak → weaken, smart → smarten)।
उत्तर: (C) Smarten
Directions (Qs. 7-11): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The growing reliance on online learning platforms has reshaped the educational experience of students worldwide. Digital classrooms offer flexibility and access to vast resources, allowing learners to study at their own pace and revisit complex material. However, this shift has also exposed structural weaknesses in education systems, particularly for students who lack reliable internet access or suitable learning environments at home. As a result, the promise of
equal educational opportunity through technology often remains unfulfilled. Apart from access issues, prolonged virtual learning can affect student motivation and social development. The absence of face-to-face interaction reduces opportunities for collaborative learning, spontaneous discussion, and emotional connection with peers and teachers. Many educators report that students engaged in long-term online instruction struggle with discipline, participation, and a sense of belonging. Addressing these challenges requires investment in digital infrastructure, teacher training, and hybrid learning models that balance technological convenience with the social benefits of traditional classrooms. Education, therefore, must evolve thoughtfully to ensure that innovation strengthens rather than fragments the learning experience.
Q3607.What is a key limitation of online learning highlighted in the passage ?
- ALimited availability of digital content
- BInflexibility in learning schedules
- CUnequal access to resources
- DExcessive teacher supervision
Show answer
Concept: Find the drawback the passage directly names.
- The passage says online learning exposed weaknesses for students without reliable internet or a good place to study at home.
- That is unequal access to resources.
- Flexibility and vast resources are listed as advantages, so (A) and (B) fail; teacher supervision is never mentioned.
Trick: Look for the word "However" – the limitation comes right after it.
Answer: (C) Unequal access to resources
अवधारणा: गद्यांश में सीधे बताई गई कमी खोजें।
हल:
- गद्यांश कहता है – जिन छात्रों के पास भरोसेमंद internet या घर पर पढ़ने का माहौल नहीं, उनके लिए कमज़ोरियाँ सामने आईं।
- यही है संसाधनों तक असमान पहुँच।
- Flexibility और ढेरों resources को लाभ बताया गया है, अतः (A), (B) गलत; teacher supervision की बात ही नहीं।
ट्रिक: "However" शब्द के ठीक बाद कमी बताई जाती है – वहीं देखें।
उत्तर: (C) Unequal access to resources

Q3608.According to the passage, what aspect of student development may be affected by prolonged virtual learning?
- APhysical fitness
- BSocial interaction and motivation
- CTechnical skills
- DLanguage acquisition
Show answer
Concept: Match the option with the exact effect stated in the passage.
- The passage links prolonged virtual study to a drop in motivation and weaker social development.
- It adds that lack of face-to-face contact reduces group learning and emotional bonds.
- Physical fitness, technical skills and language are never discussed.
Trick: Pick the option that repeats the passage's own key words – "motivation", "social".
Answer: (B) Social interaction and motivation
अवधारणा: गद्यांश में बताए गए प्रभाव से विकल्प मिलाएँ।
हल:
- गद्यांश: लंबी online पढ़ाई से motivation और social development प्रभावित हो सकते हैं।
- आमने-सामने बातचीत न होने से मिलकर सीखना और भावनात्मक जुड़ाव घटता है।
- शारीरिक फिटनेस, तकनीकी कौशल, भाषा – इनका ज़िक्र नहीं।
ट्रिक: जिस विकल्प में गद्यांश के ही शब्द ("motivation", "social") हों, वही चुनें।
उत्तर: (B) Social interaction and motivation

Q3609.Why does the passage suggest that equal educational opportunity is not fully realised through online learning ?
- ADigital platforms are poorly designed
- BTeachers resist technological change
- CStudents lack uniform access and environments
- DOnline courses are too expensive
Show answer
Concept: Find the reason given just before "As a result".
- "As a result, the promise of equal opportunity remains unfulfilled" follows the line about students lacking internet and suitable home settings.
- So the cause is that students do not have uniform access and environments.
- Platform design, teacher resistance and course cost are not mentioned.
Trick: "As a result" = effect; the sentence before it is the cause.
Answer: (C) Students lack uniform access and environments
अवधारणा: "As a result" से ठीक पहले वाला वाक्य कारण बताता है।
हल:
- "As a result... equal opportunity... unfulfilled" से पहले कहा गया है कि कई छात्रों के पास internet और उचित घरेलू माहौल नहीं।
- अतः कारण – सबको समान पहुँच और वातावरण नहीं मिलता।
- Platform design, शिक्षकों का विरोध, महँगे course – गद्यांश में नहीं।
ट्रिक: "As a result" = परिणाम; उससे पहले वाली बात = कारण।

Q3610.What approach does the passage recommend to address challenges in online education ?
- AEliminating online learning systems
- BRelying solely on digital instruction
- CCombining technology with traditional classroom methods
- DReducing teacher involvement
Show answer
Concept: The remedy is stated in the "Addressing these challenges…" sentence.
- It calls for digital infrastructure, teacher training and hybrid learning models.
- Hybrid = technology + traditional classroom benefits together.
- (A) and (B) are extremes; (D) contradicts the call for teacher training.
Trick: In RC, extreme options (eliminate, solely) are usually wrong.
Answer: (C) Combining technology with traditional classroom methods
अवधारणा: उपाय "Addressing these challenges…" वाले वाक्य में है।
हल:
- इसमें digital infrastructure, teacher training और hybrid learning models की बात है।
- Hybrid = तकनीक + पारंपरिक कक्षा, दोनों का मेल।
- (A), (B) अतिवादी विकल्प हैं; (D) teacher training की बात के उलट है।
ट्रिक: RC में "eliminate", "solely" जैसे अतिवादी विकल्प प्रायः गलत होते हैं।

Q3611.In the passage, the word "fragment" most nearly means:
- AStrengthen
- BDivide
- CSimplify
- DPreserve
Show answer
Concept: Use the contrast signal "rather than" to infer the meaning.
- Innovation should "strengthen rather than fragment" learning.
- So fragment is the opposite of strengthen → to break into pieces = divide.
- Strengthen is the contrasting word; simplify and preserve have no "break apart" sense.
Trick: Fragment → "fragments" are broken pieces → divide.
Answer: (B) Divide
अवधारणा: "rather than" विरोध दिखाता है – उसी से अर्थ निकालें।
हल:
- वाक्य: innovation सीखने को "strengthen rather than fragment" करे।
- अतः fragment, strengthen का उल्टा है → टुकड़ों में बाँटना = Divide।
- Strengthen तो विपरीत शब्द है; simplify, preserve में "तोड़ने" का भाव नहीं।
ट्रिक: Fragment = टुकड़ा → fragment करना = बाँटना/तोड़ना।
उत्तर: (B) Divide
Q3612.Which of the following sentences uses the word "firm" with a different meaning from the others ?
- AThe company is a well-established law firm.
- BShe gave him a firm handshake.
- CThe market showed a firm resolve to recover.
- DThe ground was firm after the dry spell.
Show answer
Concept: One word can be used as different parts of speech with different meanings.
- (B) firm handshake, (C) firm resolve, (D) firm ground → adjective = strong/solid/steady.
- (A) law firm → noun = a business company.
- So (A) is the odd one out.
Trick: Check part of speech: three are adjectives, only one is a noun.
Answer: (A) The company is a well-established law firm.
अवधारणा: एक ही शब्द अलग-अलग part of speech में अलग अर्थ देता है।
हल:
- (B) firm handshake, (C) firm resolve, (D) firm ground → adjective = मज़बूत/ठोस/दृढ़।
- (A) law firm → noun = व्यवसायिक कंपनी।
- अतः (A) का अर्थ अलग है।
ट्रिक: Part of speech देखें – तीन adjective, सिर्फ़ एक noun।
उत्तर: (A) The company is a well-established law firm.
Q3613.Choose the correct meaning of the idiom: Living in a bubble
- ATo reside in a futuristic, transparent house
- BTo be isolated from reality and diverse perspectives
- CTo enjoy a carefree and fun-filled life
- DTo work in a challenging and competitive environment
Show answer
Concept: Living in a bubble = staying cut off from the real world and other viewpoints.
- A bubble keeps the person sealed inside, away from outside reality.
- So the idiom means being isolated from reality and diverse perspectives.
- (A) is literal; (C) and (D) give unrelated meanings.
Trick: Idiom options that read the words literally (a transparent house) are traps.
Answer: (B) To be isolated from reality and diverse perspectives
अवधारणा: Living in a bubble = असली दुनिया और दूसरों के विचारों से कटे रहना।
हल:
- बुलबुले के अंदर व्यक्ति बाहर की सच्चाई से अलग रहता है।
- अर्थ: वास्तविकता और विविध विचारों से अलग-थलग रहना।
- (A) शाब्दिक अर्थ है; (C), (D) असंबंधित।
ट्रिक: मुहावरे में शाब्दिक अर्थ वाला विकल्प (पारदर्शी घर) प्रायः जाल होता है।
उत्तर: (B) To be isolated from reality and diverse perspectives
Q3614.Choose the correct meaning of the idiom: Cash cow
- AA farm animal that produces milk
- BA business, product, or asset that provides a steady income or profit
- CA worthless investment
- DA difficult or troublesome employee
Show answer
Concept: Cash cow = a source that keeps giving steady money.
- Like a cow milked daily, the product or business brings regular income.
- So it means a business, product or asset that provides steady income or profit.
- (A) is the literal meaning; (C) is the opposite; (D) is unrelated.
Trick: Cow → milk daily → money daily.
Answer: (B) A business, product, or asset that provides a steady income or profit
अवधारणा: Cash cow = लगातार पैसा देने वाला स्रोत।
हल:
- जैसे गाय रोज़ दूध देती है, वैसे ही यह व्यापार/उत्पाद नियमित कमाई देता है।
- अर्थ: स्थिर आय या लाभ देने वाला व्यापार/उत्पाद/संपत्ति।
- (A) शाब्दिक, (C) उल्टा, (D) असंबंधित।
ट्रिक: गाय → रोज़ दूध → रोज़ पैसा।
उत्तर: (B) A business, product, or asset that provides a steady income or profit
Q3615.Choose the correct one-word substitute for:
A person who works with and shapes metal.
- ACarpenter
- BMason
- CBlacksmith
- DWeaver
Show answer
Concept: Match the craftsman with the material he works on.
- Metal (iron) worker who heats and hammers it into shape → Blacksmith.
- Carpenter → wood; Mason → stone/brick; Weaver → cloth.
- So only Blacksmith fits "metal".
Yaad rakhein: Material-wise: wood–carpenter, stone–mason, cloth–weaver, iron–blacksmith, gold–goldsmith.
Answer: (C) Blacksmith
अवधारणा: कारीगर को उसके काम की सामग्री से मिलाएँ।
हल:
- धातु (लोहा) गर्म करके पीटकर आकार देने वाला → Blacksmith (लोहार)।
- Carpenter → लकड़ी (बढ़ई); Mason → पत्थर/ईंट (राजमिस्त्री); Weaver → कपड़ा (जुलाहा)।
- अतः धातु के लिए Blacksmith।
याद रखें: लकड़ी–carpenter, पत्थर–mason, कपड़ा–weaver, लोहा–blacksmith, सोना–goldsmith।
उत्तर: (C) Blacksmith
Q3616.Select the most appropriate antonym of the word: ADORE
- AReverent
- BLoathe
- CAppreciate
- DIdolize
Show answer
Concept: ADORE = to love deeply; its opposite expresses strong dislike.
- Adore → love/admire greatly.
- Loathe = to hate intensely → opposite.
- Reverent, Appreciate, Idolize are all positive, close to adore.
Trick: In antonym questions, eliminate options with the same "mood" as the given word.
Answer: (B) Loathe
अवधारणा: ADORE = बहुत प्यार/सम्मान करना; इसका विलोम = तीव्र नफ़रत।
हल:
- Adore → बहुत चाहना।
- Loathe = घृणा करना → विलोम।
- Reverent, Appreciate, Idolize – सभी सकारात्मक, adore के समान।
ट्रिक: विलोम में, दिए शब्द जैसे भाव वाले विकल्प पहले हटा दें।
उत्तर: (B) Loathe
Q3617.Choose the correct one-word substitute for:
A feeling of intense longing for something.
- AIndifference
- BApathy
- CYearning
- DDetachment
Show answer
Concept: Intense longing for something = yearning.
- Deep desire for something one lacks → Yearning.
- Indifference and Apathy = lack of interest; Detachment = emotional distance.
- All three wrong options mean the reverse of longing.
Trick: Three options mean "not caring" – the odd one out is the answer.
Answer: (C) Yearning
अवधारणा: किसी चीज़ की तीव्र चाह = yearning (तड़प/लालसा)।
हल:
- जो पास न हो उसकी गहरी इच्छा → Yearning।
- Indifference, Apathy = उदासीनता; Detachment = भावनात्मक दूरी।
- तीनों गलत विकल्प चाह के उलट हैं।
ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प "परवाह न करना" दर्शाते हैं – अलग वाला ही उत्तर।
उत्तर: (C) Yearning
Q3618.Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The athlete is thought to be recovering well after the injury.
- AThe injury is thought to be recovering the athlete well.
- BPeople think that the athlete is recovering well after the injury.
- CThe athlete is recovering well after the injury, it is thought.
- DSomeone thought that the athlete was recovering well after the injury.
Show answer
Concept: "X is thought to be…" in active = "People think that X is…".
- No doer is named, so add a general subject: People.
- Tense stays present: is thought → think; "to be recovering" → "is recovering".
- (A) reverses the roles, (C) is not a proper active form, (D) wrongly uses past tense.
Trick: Reject options that change tense (thought/was) or meaning (injury recovering the athlete).
Answer: (B) People think that the athlete is recovering well after the injury.
अवधारणा: "X is thought to be…" का active = "People think that X is…"।
हल:
- कर्ता नहीं दिया, अतः सामान्य कर्ता People लगाएँ।
- काल वर्तमान ही रहेगा: is thought → think; to be recovering → is recovering।
- (A) में भूमिका उलट गई, (C) सही active नहीं, (D) में past tense गलत।
ट्रिक: जो विकल्प tense बदलें (thought/was) या अर्थ बदलें, उन्हें हटा दें।
उत्तर: (B) People think that the athlete is recovering well after the injury.

- BShe says that she was planning to visit Paris next year.
- CShe said that she planned to visit Paris the following year.
- DShe says that Paris is planned to be visited by her next year.
Show answer
Concept: If the reporting verb is present (says), the tense inside does not change.
- "says" stays; add "that".
- I → she; "am planning" → is planning (no backshift).
- Result: She says that she is planning to visit Paris the following year.
Trick: Present reporting verb → only pronoun changes; tense untouched.
Answer: (A) She says that she is planning to visit Paris the following year.
अवधारणा: Reporting verb present (says) हो तो अंदर का tense नहीं बदलता।
हल:
- "says" वैसा ही रहेगा; "that" जोड़ें।
- I → she; "am planning" → is planning (tense वही)।
- उत्तर: She says that she is planning to visit Paris the following year.
ट्रिक: Present reporting verb → सिर्फ़ pronoun बदलें, tense नहीं।
उत्तर: (A) She says that she is planning to visit Paris the following year.
Q3620.Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
Neither of the students has completed their homework neatly.
- Ahas completed his homework
- Bhave completed their homework
- Chave completed his homework
- Dis completed his homework
Show answer
Concept: "Neither of + plural noun" is singular: singular verb and singular pronoun.
- Neither = not one of the two → singular subject.
- Verb "has" is correct; pronoun must also be singular → his (not their).
- Correct: Neither of the students has completed his homework neatly.
Trick: Each/Either/Neither/Every one of → singular verb + singular pronoun.
Answer: (A) has completed his homework
अवधारणा: "Neither of + plural noun" singular माना जाता है – verb और pronoun दोनों singular।
हल:
- Neither = दोनों में से कोई नहीं → singular subject।
- "has" सही है; pronoun भी singular हो → his (their नहीं)।
- सही: Neither of the students has completed his homework neatly.
ट्रिक: Each/Either/Neither/Every one of → singular verb + singular pronoun।
उत्तर: (A) has completed his homework
