Q101.Choose the correct option to specify the meaning of the highlighted idiom. You've prepared well for the performance. Now break a leg.
- ASay Good Luck to someone
- BAsk someone not to go for a task
- CSay Bad Luck to someone
- DNot saying anything to someone
Show answer
Concept: 'Break a leg' is a theatre idiom used to wish a performer success.
- The speaker first praises the preparation, then adds 'break a leg' – a cheerful send-off before the show.
- So it simply means 'good luck!'; it is never meant literally.
- Options (b), (c), (d) all go against the encouraging tone of the line.
Trick: Stage people thought saying 'good luck' directly brings bad luck, so they said the opposite – 'break a leg'.
Answer: (A) Say Good Luck to someone
अवधारणा: 'Break a leg' एक idiom है जिसका प्रयोग किसी performance से पहले शुभकामना देने के लिए होता है।
- वाक्य में पहले तैयारी की तारीफ़ है, फिर 'break a leg' कहा गया – यानी 'शुभकामनाएँ!'
- इसका शाब्दिक अर्थ (पैर तोड़ना) नहीं लिया जाता।
- (b), (c), (d) वाक्य के उत्साह भरे भाव से मेल नहीं खाते।
ट्रिक: मंच पर सीधे 'good luck' कहना अपशकुन माना जाता था, इसलिए उल्टा 'break a leg' कहा जाने लगा।
उत्तर: (A) Say Good Luck to someone
Q102.Identify the meaning of the phrase highlighted in bold.
Considering the circumstances, it might be wise to throw caution to the wind.
- AAct very carefully
- BIgnore the problem
- CTake risks
- DCall a discussion and seek everyone's opinion
Show answer
Concept: To 'throw caution to the wind' is to stop being careful and act boldly despite danger.
- Caution = carefulness; throwing it into the wind = getting rid of it.
- Hence the phrase means 'take risks'.
- (a) is the exact opposite; (b) and (d) have nothing to do with risk.
Trick: Picture tossing your 'careful' cap into a storm – what is left is risk-taking.
Answer: (C) Take risks
अवधारणा: 'Throw caution to the wind' का अर्थ है सावधानी छोड़कर जोखिम उठाना।
- Caution = सावधानी; उसे हवा में उड़ा देना = सावधानी त्याग देना।
- अतः अर्थ है – जोखिम लेना (Take risks)।
- (a) बिल्कुल उल्टा अर्थ है; (b), (d) का जोखिम से संबंध नहीं।
ट्रिक: Caution हवा में फेंक दी → बचा केवल जोखिम।
उत्तर: (C) Take risks
Q103.Identify the incorrect sentence.
- ARiya's dress is bright and colorful.
- BEither of the solutions seem to cause serious problems.
- COne of the houses in the colony is over a hundred years old.
- DAmit has three cousins.
Show answer
Concept: 'Either of / Neither of / One of / Each of + plural noun' takes a singular verb.
- In (b) the subject is 'either' (one of two) – singular.
- So 'seem' is wrong; correct: 'Either of the solutions seems to cause serious problems.'
- (c) correctly uses 'One of the houses … is'; (a) and (d) are fine.
Trick: The verb agrees with the word before 'of', not the noun after it.
Answer: (B) Either of the solutions seem to cause serious problems.
अवधारणा: 'Either of / Neither of / One of / Each of' के बाद plural noun आता है, पर verb singular लगती है।
- (b) में subject 'either' है जो एकवचन है।
- इसलिए 'seem' गलत है; सही: 'Either of the solutions seems to cause serious problems.'
- (c) में 'One of the houses … is' सही है; (a), (d) भी सही हैं।
ट्रिक: Verb 'of' से पहले वाले शब्द के अनुसार चलती है, बाद वाले noun के अनुसार नहीं।
उत्तर: (B) Either of the solutions seem to cause serious problems.
Q104.Fill in the blank with the most appropriate preposition:
The inspector inquired the witness's movements during the enquiry.
- Ain
- Bat
- Cabout
- Dof
Show answer
Concept: To ask for information on a matter we use 'inquire about'.
- The inspector wanted information regarding the witness's movements → 'inquired about'.
- 'Inquire into' = officially investigate a matter; 'inquire after' = ask about someone's health.
- 'in', 'at', 'of' do not pair with 'inquire' here.
Trick: inquire about (topic) | inquire into (case) | inquire after (health) | inquire of (person asked).
Answer: (C) about
अवधारणा: किसी विषय के बारे में जानकारी माँगने के लिए 'inquire about' प्रयोग होता है।
- Inspector गवाह की गतिविधियों की जानकारी ले रहा था → 'inquired about'।
- 'Inquire into' = जाँच करना; 'inquire after' = किसी का हालचाल पूछना।
- 'in', 'at', 'of' यहाँ उपयुक्त नहीं।
ट्रिक: about (विषय), into (जाँच), after (हालचाल), of (जिससे पूछा जाए)।
उत्तर: (C) about
Q105.Select the most appropriate synonym of the word:
Unimportance
- AStrength
- BPower
- CInsignificance
- DClout
Show answer
Concept: Synonym = word with the same meaning.
- Unimportance = lack of value or significance.
- Insignificance = the quality of not mattering → same meaning.
- Strength, Power, Clout (influence) all suggest importance – the opposite idea.
Trick: Prefix match: un-importantce ↔ in-significantce – both 'not + important'.
Answer: (C) Insignificance
अवधारणा: Synonym यानी समान अर्थ वाला शब्द।
- Unimportance = महत्वहीनता।
- Insignificance = तुच्छता / महत्व न होना → समान अर्थ।
- Strength (ताक़त), Power (शक्ति), Clout (प्रभाव) – ये महत्व दर्शाते हैं, उल्टा भाव।
ट्रिक: un- और in- दोनों 'नहीं' का अर्थ देते हैं – un-importance = in-significance।
उत्तर: (C) Insignificance
Q106.Choose the correctly spelt word:
- AReceive
- Bdefinitely
- CUninamous
- Dseparate
Show answer
Concept: Pick the word that is correctly spelt (here the question marks the misspelt one as the answer per key).
- Receive, definitely, separate are standard spellings.
- 'Uninamous' is wrong – the right form is Unanimous (u-n-a-n-i-m-o-u-s).
- Unanimous = agreed by all; from Latin 'unus' (one) + 'animus' (mind).
Trick: Una + nimous → 'una' = one; one mind = all agree.
Answer: (C) Uninamous
अवधारणा: सही/गलत वर्तनी पहचानने का प्रश्न (answer key में गलत वर्तनी वाला शब्द उत्तर है)।
- Receive, definitely, separate सही वर्तनी हैं।
- 'Uninamous' गलत है – सही रूप Unanimous है।
- Unanimous = सर्वसम्मत; Latin 'unus' (एक) + 'animus' (मन)।
ट्रिक: 'Una' = एक; एक मन = सबकी सहमति।
उत्तर: (C) Uninamous
Q107.Choose the correctly spelt word to complete the sentence:
His Abberant behaviour during the meeting surprised everyone.
- AAbberant
- Bbehaviour
- Cmeeting
- Dsurprised
Show answer
Concept: Spot the word whose spelling is faulty.
- behaviour, meeting, surprised are all correct.
- 'Abberant' is wrong; correct: Aberrant – single 'b', double 'r'.
- Aberrant = deviating from normal behaviour (ab- 'away' + errare 'to stray').
Trick: It is linked to 'error' – keep the double 'rr' of error, and only one 'b'.
Answer: (A) Abberant
अवधारणा: वाक्य में गलत वर्तनी वाला शब्द पहचानना है।
- behaviour, meeting, surprised सही हैं।
- 'Abberant' गलत है; सही: Aberrant – एक 'b', दो 'r'।
- Aberrant = सामान्य से भटका हुआ / असामान्य।
ट्रिक: यह 'error' से जुड़ा है – error की तरह 'rr' दो, पर 'b' एक।
उत्तर: (A) Abberant
Q108.Choose the best option to replace the underlined part to improve the given sentence. If no substitution is required, select 'No substitution.'
She was worried at the outcome.
- Aon the outcome
- Babout the outcome
- Cfor the outcome
- DNo substitution
Show answer
Concept: The adjective 'worried' takes 'about' before the cause of worry.
- 'Worried at the outcome' is non-standard.
- Correct: 'She was worried about the outcome.'
- 'on'/'for' do not express the cause of anxiety here, so a substitution is needed.
Trick: worried / anxious / concerned + about (thing). 'Worried for' is used for a person's safety.
Answer: (B) about the outcome
अवधारणा: 'Worried' के बाद चिंता का कारण बताने के लिए 'about' आता है।
- 'Worried at the outcome' मानक प्रयोग नहीं है।
- सही: 'She was worried about the outcome.'
- 'on', 'for' यहाँ कारण नहीं दर्शाते, इसलिए बदलाव आवश्यक है।
ट्रिक: worried / anxious / concerned + about; किसी व्यक्ति की सुरक्षा हेतु 'worried for'।
उत्तर: (B) about the outcome
Q109.Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word: He managed to close a fair deal with the supplier.
- AIt was my turn to deal the cards in the game.
- BShe got a good deal on the new phone.
- CThe business deal was approved yesterday.
- DThey discussed the deal in detail. Cloze Test :-
Show answer
Concept: Homonyms: same spelling and sound, different meaning.
- In the given line, 'deal' (noun) = an agreement/bargain.
- In (a), 'deal the cards' (verb) = hand out cards – a totally different meaning.
- (b), (c), (d) all keep 'deal' as agreement/bargain – same sense, so not homonyms.
Trick: Look for the option where the word changes its part of speech or meaning – here noun → verb.
Answer: (A) It was my turn to deal the cards in the game.
अवधारणा: Homonym = एक जैसी वर्तनी व उच्चारण, पर अर्थ अलग।
- दिए वाक्य में 'deal' (noun) = सौदा/समझौता।
- (a) में 'deal the cards' (verb) = पत्ते बाँटना – बिल्कुल अलग अर्थ।
- (b), (c), (d) में 'deal' का अर्थ सौदा ही है, इसलिए वे homonym नहीं।
ट्रिक: जिस विकल्प में शब्द का अर्थ/शब्द-भेद बदल जाए, वही homonym है।
उत्तर: (A) It was my turn to deal the cards in the game.

- ACrop rotation
- BCrop harvest
- CSoil testing
- DSeed selection
Show answer
Concept: A blank followed by a definition is filled by the term being defined.
- Clue: 'different crops are grown alternately to improve soil health'.
- Growing crops in turn on the same land = crop rotation.
- Harvest, soil testing, seed selection do not involve alternating crops.
Trick: 'Alternately' ≈ 'rotation' – match the key word of the clue.
Answer: (A) Crop rotation
अवधारणा: जब रिक्त स्थान के बाद उसकी परिभाषा दी हो, तो वही पारिभाषिक शब्द भरें।
- संकेत: 'different crops are grown alternately to improve soil health'।
- एक ही खेत में बारी-बारी से अलग फसलें उगाना = फसल चक्र (crop rotation)।
- Harvest, soil testing, seed selection में फसलें बदलने का भाव नहीं है।
ट्रिक: 'Alternately' (बारी-बारी) = 'rotation'।
उत्तर: (A) Crop rotation

- AMechanical
- BChemical
- CNatural
- DTemporary
Show answer
Concept: The example given after 'such as' tells the type of method.
- Example: 'using natural compost' → methods are natural.
- 'Chemical' contradicts organic farming.
- 'Mechanical' and 'temporary' do not fit compost or ecological balance.
Trick: The answer word is already hidden in the example – 'natural compost'.
Answer: (C) Natural
अवधारणा: 'such as' के बाद दिया उदाहरण बताता है कि विधि किस प्रकार की है।
- उदाहरण: 'using natural compost' → विधियाँ प्राकृतिक हैं।
- 'Chemical' जैविक खेती के विपरीत है।
- 'Mechanical', 'temporary' खाद व पारिस्थितिक संतुलन से मेल नहीं खाते।
ट्रिक: उत्तर उदाहरण में ही छिपा है – 'natural compost'।
उत्तर: (C) Natural

- AExpenses
- BProfits
- CEfforts
- DRisks
Show answer
Concept: Lower costs + something increases → logically, profit.
- 'Lower costs and increase their ___' – a gain must rise when cost falls.
- Profits fits; 'expenses' would mean costs again.
- Efforts and risks rising is not a benefit, so they break the positive sense.
Trick: Cost ↓ ⇒ Profit ↑ – a standard pair in such passages.
Answer: (B) Profits
अवधारणा: लागत घटे और कुछ बढ़े → तर्कसंगत रूप से लाभ।
- 'lower costs and increase their ___' – लागत घटने पर मुनाफ़ा बढ़ता है।
- Profits सही; 'expenses' तो लागत ही है।
- Efforts या risks का बढ़ना लाभ नहीं, इसलिए अर्थ बिगड़ता है।
ट्रिक: लागत ↓ ⇒ मुनाफ़ा ↑।

- 'efficient and ___' – a positive quality is needed.
- Resilient = able to bear shocks and bounce back.
- Fragile, ineffective, unstable are negative words.
Trick: Eliminate the three negatives – the only positive left is the answer.
Answer: (B) Resilient
अवधारणा: 'and' से जुड़े शब्द एक जैसे (सकारात्मक) भाव के होने चाहिए।

Q115.Select the most appropriate antonym of the word:
POLITE
- AEuphemism
- BAmbiguity
- Cobscurity
- Ddiscourteous
Show answer
Concept: Antonym = opposite meaning.
- Polite = well-mannered, courteous.
- Discourteous = rude, lacking manners → opposite.
- Euphemism (mild expression), ambiguity (unclear meaning), obscurity (being unknown/unclear) are unrelated.
Trick: dis + courteous = not courteous; courteous is a synonym of polite.
Answer: (D) discourteous
अवधारणा: Antonym यानी विपरीत अर्थ।
- Polite = विनम्र, शिष्ट।
- Discourteous = अशिष्ट, असभ्य → विपरीत अर्थ।
- Euphemism (मृदु शब्द), ambiguity (अस्पष्टता), obscurity (गुमनामी) असंबंधित हैं।
ट्रिक: dis + courteous = जो courteous (विनम्र) न हो।
उत्तर: (D) discourteous
Q116.Which part of the following sentence contains a spelling error?
The film received a thoughtful critque (A) from several renowned (B) reviewers (C) worldwide (D).
- AC
- BB
- CD
- DA
Show answer
Concept: Check each marked part for spelling.
- (B) renowned, (C) reviewers, (D) worldwide are correct.
- (A) 'critque' misses an 'i' – correct: critique (a detailed evaluation).
- So the error is in part A, which is option (d).
Trick: Critique ends like 'unique', 'technique' – always '-ique'.
Answer: (D) A
अवधारणा: हर चिह्नित भाग की वर्तनी जाँचें।
- (B) renowned, (C) reviewers, (D) worldwide सही हैं।
- (A) 'critque' में 'i' छूटा है – सही: critique (समीक्षा)।

Q117.Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The mistake could not have been ignored by a careful supervisor, a point that was later highlighted.
- AThe mistake could not ignore a careful supervisor.
- BA careful supervisor could not have ignored the mistake, a point that was later highlighted.
- CA careful supervisor could not ignore the mistake.
- DThe mistake was not ignored by a careful supervisor, a point that was later highlighted.
Show answer
Concept: Passive 'modal + have been + V3' → Active 'modal + have + V3'.
- Agent 'a careful supervisor' becomes the subject; 'the mistake' becomes the object.
- 'could not have been ignored' → 'could not have ignored'.
- Keep the extra clause: 'A careful supervisor could not have ignored the mistake, a point that was later highlighted.'
- (c) drops 'have' and the clause; (a), (d) keep the wrong subject.
Trick: Remove 'been', swap subject and object, keep everything else unchanged.
Answer: (B) A careful supervisor could not have ignored the mistake, a point that was later highlighted.
अवधारणा: Passive 'modal + have been + V3' → Active 'modal + have + V3'।
- Agent 'a careful supervisor' subject बनेगा, 'the mistake' object।
- 'could not have been ignored' → 'could not have ignored'।
- अंत का भाग 'a point that was later highlighted' वैसा ही रहेगा।
- (c) में 'have' और अंत का भाग गायब है; (a), (d) में subject गलत है।
ट्रिक: 'been' हटाइए, subject-object अदल-बदल कीजिए, बाकी सब वैसा ही।
उत्तर: (B) A careful supervisor could not have ignored the mistake, a point that was later highlighted.
Q118.Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The witness was reported to have been questioned by the police.
- ASomeone reported that the witness was questioned by the police.
- BThey reported someone had questioned the witness.
- CThe witness was questioned by the police, it was reported.
- DPeople reported that someone had questioned the witness.
Show answer
Concept: When the doer of the reporting verb is unknown, use 'Someone / People reported that …'.
- 'was reported' (doer not named) → 'Someone reported that …'.
- 'to have been questioned by the police' → the witness was questioned by the police.
- Option (a) keeps the meaning and the agent 'police'; (b) and (d) lose 'police', (c) is still passive.
Trick: Unknown agent in the outer passive → start with 'Someone/People reported …'.
Answer: (A) Someone reported that the witness was questioned by the police.
अवधारणा: Reporting verb का कर्ता न दिया हो तो 'Someone reported that …' से शुरू करते हैं।
- 'was reported' (कर्ता अज्ञात) → 'Someone reported that …'।
- 'to have been questioned by the police' → the witness was questioned by the police।
- (a) अर्थ व 'police' दोनों बनाए रखता है; (b), (d) में police गायब, (c) अभी भी passive है।
ट्रिक: बाहरी passive का कर्ता अज्ञात → 'Someone/People reported …'।
उत्तर: (A) Someone reported that the witness was questioned by the police.
Q119.Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect voice.
She said, 'I am starting a new job next week."
- AShe said that she was starting a new job next week.
- BShe said that she is starting a new job next week.
- CShe said that she would have been starting a new job the following week.
- DShe said that she was starting a new job the following week.
Show answer
Concept: Past reporting verb → present continuous becomes past continuous; 'next week' → 'the following week'.
- 'I am starting' → 'she was starting'.
- 'next week' → 'the following week'.
- (a) keeps 'next week', (b) keeps 'is', (c) uses a wrong tense.
Trick: Check two things quickly: tense shifted? time word shifted? Only (d) does both.
Answer: (D) She said that she was starting a new job the following week.
अवधारणा: Reporting verb past में हो तो present continuous → past continuous, और 'next week' → 'the following week'।
- 'I am starting' → 'she was starting'।
- 'next week' → 'the following week'।
- (a) में 'next week' नहीं बदला, (b) में 'is' बना रहा, (c) में काल गलत है।
ट्रिक: दो चीज़ें जाँचें – tense बदला? समय-सूचक शब्द बदला? केवल (d) में दोनों हैं।
उत्तर: (D) She said that she was starting a new job the following week.
Q120.Choose the incorrect spelling.
The unexpected victory was enough to exhilarete the entire team.
- Aunexpected
- Bexhilarete
- Centire
- Dvictory
Show answer
Concept: Find the misspelt word in the sentence.
- unexpected, entire, victory are correct.
- 'exhilarete' is wrong; correct: exhilarate (to make very happy and excited).
- Note the silent 'h' and the ending '-rate'.
Trick: ex-HILAR-ate: it shares its root with 'hilarious' – joy!
Answer: (B) exhilarete
अवधारणा: वाक्य में गलत वर्तनी वाला शब्द खोजें।
- unexpected, entire, victory सही हैं।
- 'exhilarete' गलत; सही: exhilarate (अत्यधिक प्रसन्न करना)।
- मूक 'h' और अंत '-rate' पर ध्यान दें।
ट्रिक: ex-HILAR-ate – 'hilarious' (बहुत मज़ेदार) से जुड़ा शब्द।
उत्तर: (B) exhilarete
