Correct Answer: standard

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Standard means a level of quality or attainment, and is the appropriate word to fill the blank with, as it helps in correctly conveying the intended meaning that the work of the secretary is of a certain level of quality.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Condition means the state of something.
• Degree means the extent or scope of an action or a condition.
• Capacity means the potential or suitability for storing or holding something.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I'm very pleased with my new secretary. Her work is of a high standard.

Correct Answer: (2)

Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

"Where" should be replaced with "when" to convey the intended meaning that the speaker learnt about the robbery as soon as they reached the exhibition. "Hardly...when" is the correct correlative conjunction to be used in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Hardly had I reached the exhibition when I learnt about the major robbery."

Correct Answer: 40 m

Solution :
Let $AB$ be the tower and $CD$ be the pole.
$CD = BE = 10$ m
In $\triangle BCE$,
$\tan$ 30° = $\frac{10}{CE}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ = $\frac{10}{CE}$
⇒ $CE = 10\sqrt3$
In $\triangle ACE$,
$\tan$ 60° = $\frac{h}{CE}$
⇒ $\sqrt3$ = $\frac{h}{10\sqrt3}$
⇒ $h$ = 30
So, the height of tower = 30 + 10 = 40 m
Hence, the correct answer is 40 m.

Correct Answer: D, B, E, A, C

Hence, the correct order to form a meaningful sentence is D, B, E, A, C.

Correct Answer: 47

Solution : Given:
5 ÷ 8 + 4 × 2 – 9

After interchanging + and –, and × and ÷, the equation becomes –
= 5 × 8 – 4 ÷ 2 + 9
= 5 × 8 – 2 + 9
= 40 – 2 + 9
= 47

So, 47 is the required answer. Hence, the third option is correct.
