Spill the beans
  1. ATo drop something accidentally
  2. BTo cook a meal
  3. CTo tell people secret information
  4. DTo clean up a mess
Show answer

Concept: Idioms carry a figurative, not literal, meaning.

  1. 'Spill the beans' = to let out a secret (often too early).
  2. Use: Don't spill the beans about her promotion till Friday.
  3. Options about dropping, cooking or cleaning are literal readings — rejected.

Yaad rakhein: Similar idioms: 'let the cat out of the bag' = reveal a secret; opposite: 'keep it under wraps'.

Answer: (C) To tell people secret information

अवधारणा: मुहावरे का अर्थ लाक्षणिक होता है, शाब्दिक नहीं।

  1. 'Spill the beans' = राज़ खोल देना (अक्सर समय से पहले)।
  2. प्रयोग: Don't spill the beans about her promotion till Friday.
  3. गिराना, पकाना, साफ़ करना — ये शाब्दिक अर्थ हैं, अतः ग़लत।

याद रखें: समान मुहावरा: 'let the cat out of the bag' = भेद खोलना; विपरीत: 'keep it under wraps'।

उत्तर: (C) To tell people secret information

Q270.
Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word.
  1. AIrritably
  2. BReluctently
  3. CFatally
  4. DSternly
Show answer

Concept: Adverb = adjective + -ly; the adjective's spelling stays the same.

  1. reluctant + ly = reluctantly → 'Reluctently' is wrong.
  2. irritable → irritably, fatal → fatally, stern → sternly — all correct.

Trick: Check the root adjective: '-ant' words keep '-ant' (reluctant, brilliant → reluctantly, brilliantly).

Answer: (B) Reluctently

अवधारणा: क्रियाविशेषण = विशेषण + -ly; मूल शब्द की वर्तनी नहीं बदलती।

  1. reluctant + ly = reluctantly → 'Reluctently' ग़लत।
  2. irritable → irritably, fatal → fatally, stern → sternly — सभी सही।

ट्रिक: मूल विशेषण देखें: '-ant' वाले शब्द '-ant' ही रखते हैं (reluctant → reluctantly)।

उत्तर: (B) Reluctently

  2. BHe always goes for a run in the morning.
  3. CHe often goes for a run in the morning.
  4. DHe usually goes for a run in the morning.
Show answer

Concept: Frequency adverbs (always, often, usually) go before the main verb but after 'be'/auxiliary.

  1. (a) 'He goes always…' places 'always' after the main verb — incorrect.
  2. Correct: He always goes for a run in the morning.
  3. (b), (c), (d) follow the rule.

Trick: Remember 'S + adverb + V' — but 'S + is/am/are + adverb' (He is always late).

Answer: (A) He goes always for a run in the morning.

अवधारणा: Always, often, usually मुख्य क्रिया से पहले, पर 'be'/सहायक क्रिया के बाद आते हैं।

  1. (a) 'He goes always…' में always मुख्य क्रिया के बाद है — ग़लत।
  2. सही: He always goes for a run in the morning.
  3. (b), (c), (d) नियम मानते हैं।

ट्रिक: याद रखें 'S + adverb + V', पर 'S + is/am/are + adverb' (He is always late)।

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.
He has been writing most articles and has given presentations on his research.
  1. Ahad written few articles
  2. Bwill write more articles
  3. Cwas write many articles
  4. Dhas written several articles
Show answer

Concept: Verbs joined by 'and' should be in the same tense.

  1. Second verb: 'has given' (present perfect).
  2. So first must be 'has written', with a natural quantifier 'several articles'.
  3. (a) past perfect, (b) future, (c) 'was write' is ungrammatical.

Trick: Look at the un-underlined verb first — it tells you the tense of the blank.

Answer: (D) has written several articles

अवधारणा: 'and' से जुड़ी क्रियाएँ एक ही काल में हों।

  1. दूसरी क्रिया: 'has given' (present perfect)।
  2. अतः पहली भी 'has written' होगी, साथ में 'several articles'।
  3. (a) past perfect, (b) future, (c) 'was write' व्याकरण-विरुद्ध।

ट्रिक: पहले बिना रेखांकित क्रिया देखें — वही रिक्त का काल बताती है।

  1. Opposite: worsen (become worse).

  1. विलोम: worsen (बिगड़ना)।
  2. His condition began to worsen after the trip.
  3. 'Improve' पर्याय है — सामान्य जाल।

ट्रिक: विलोम प्रश्न में पहले पर्याय वाला विकल्प काटें — वह भ्रमित करने के लिए होता है।

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Did you know health is not just ____ not being sick ?
  1. Aabout
  2. Bin
  3. Con
  4. Dbut
Show answer

Concept: 'Be (just) about something' = to be mainly concerned with it.

  1. 'Health is not just about not being sick' = health means more than absence of illness.
  2. 'In', 'on' don't fit this meaning; 'but' is a conjunction, not a preposition.

Yaad rakhein: Pattern: 'It's not just about X, it's about Y' — very common in English.

Answer: (A) about

अवधारणा: 'Be (just) about something' = किसी बात से मुख्य रूप से जुड़ा होना।

  1. 'Health is not just about not being sick' = स्वास्थ्य बीमार न होने से कहीं अधिक है।
  2. 'In', 'on' यह अर्थ नहीं देते; 'but' संयोजक है, पूर्वसर्ग नहीं।

याद रखें: ढाँचा: 'It's not just about X, it's about Y' — बहुत प्रचलित।

  2. BI am sure you will pass the exam.
  3. CThe jacket will look nice on you.
  4. DI think we will meeting again before long.
Show answer

Concept: Simple future = will + V1 (base form).

  1. (d) 'will meeting' is wrong → 'will meet' (or 'will be meeting').
  2. (a) will like, (b) will pass, (c) will look — correct.

Trick: Modal verbs (will, shall, can, may, must) are always followed by V1, never V-ing alone.

Answer: (D) I think we will meeting again before long.

अवधारणा: Simple future = will + V1 (मूल रूप)।

  1. (d) 'will meeting' ग़लत → 'will meet' (या 'will be meeting')।
  2. (a) will like, (b) will pass, (c) will look — सही।

ट्रिक: Modal (will, shall, can, may, must) के बाद हमेशा V1 आता है, अकेला V-ing नहीं।

  1. Only 'connecting' is an -ing verb; the others are adjectives.
  2. 'Connect with emotions' is a natural phrase for pathos.

Trick: Preposition + verb → always V-ing (way of connecting, fond of reading).

Answer: (A) connecting
