Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank No. 4.
Option 1: about
Option 2: for
Option 3: against
Option 4: of
Correct Answer: for
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation:
"Waiting for" is a commonly used and idiomatic expression when referring to waiting for a train, bus, or any mode of transportation. "For" indicates the purpose or goal of waiting, and it is a standard and natural way to convey the idea of anticipating the arrival of transportation.
Therefore, the correct answer is for.
Question : Directions:In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
The work you have submitted is not to the mark.
(1) as the
(2) from the
(3) up to the mark
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.
This is the correct phrase in English to convey that something meets the expected standard or is satisfactory. "The work you have submitted is notup to the mark", indicates that the work does not meet the required or expected standard.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The work you have submitted is notup to the mark.
Question : Directions: In a certain code RAIN is written as TCKP. How is CLOUD written in that code?
Option 1: ENQWF
Option 2: EMQWF
Option 3: FNQWE
Option 4: ENRWF
Correct Answer: ENQWF
Solution : Given:
RAIN is written as TCKP.
Add 2 to the place value of each letter of RAIN to obtain the required code –
R + 2 = T; A + 2 = C; I + 2 = K; N + 2 = P
Thus, RAIN is coded as TCKP.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for CLOUD –
C + 2 = E; L + 2 = N; O + 2 = Q; U + 2 = W; D + 2 = F
So, CLOUD is coded as ENQWF. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
Where have those important documents been hidden by you?
Option 1: Where do you hide those important documents?
Option 2: Where did you hide those important documents?
Option 3: Where have you hidden those important documents?
Option 4: Where are you hiding those important documents?
Correct Answer: Where have you hidden those important documents?
Solution : The third option is correct.
The active voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject performs the action. It's a more direct and straightforward way of expressing ideas. In an active sentence, the subject is the doer of the action, and the object is the receiver of the action.
The structure of the sentence in active voice in an interrogative sentence is: "Wh word + have + subject + past participle form of the verb + object?"
Therefore, the correct answer is: "Where have you hidden those important documents?"
Question : Directions: Which four-digit number is missing from the 4th box?
663 | 951 | 1,243 | ???? | 1,823 |
Option 1: 1313
Option 2: 1531
Option 3: 1221
Option 4: 1431
Correct Answer: 1531
Solution : Given:
663 | 951 | 1,243 | ???? | 1,823 |
In the above-given series, add 288 and 292 alternately to get the required missing number –
663 + 288 = 951, 951 + 292 = 1243, 1243 + 288 = 1531, 1531 + 292 = 1823
So, the required missing number is 1531. Hence, thesecond option is correct.
