Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 3.
Option 1: had
Option 2: have
Option 3: has

The verb "has" is appropriate because it agrees with the singular subject "sportsmanship".

The use of the present perfect tense with "has" in this context indicates a connection or association that has existed in the past and continues into the present.

Option 1: Thousands of people
Option 2: virus in the world

Option 4: the deadly Corona
Correct Answer: have died off
Solution : The error lies in the third option.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Thousands of people have died of the deadly Corona virus in the world.

Question : If a Gram Panchayat dissolves or disintegrates, then within what period would the next elections be held?
Option 1: 18 Month
Option 2: 12 Months
Option 3: 6 Months
Option 4: 3 Months
Correct Answer: 6 Months
Solution : The Correct answer is 6 Months.
Elections must be held six months from the date of dissolution, according to Article 243E, if a panchayat is dissolved before the end of its five-year term. The newly elected members will serve solely for the remainder of the original five-year term, not for the whole five-year term.
Question : 25°C is equivalent to how many degrees on the Fahrenheit scale?
Option 1: 80
Option 2: 75
Option 3: 87
Option 4: 77
Correct Answer: 77
Solution : The correct answer is 77.
There is no difference between degrees Celsius and degrees Centigrade. Because the scale was specified between 0 and 100 degrees, degrees Celsius—which were invented by Anders Celsius—are frequently referred to as centigrades, with centigrade denoting a scale made up of 1/100ths of a degree. 77°F is equal to 25°C.
Question : Directions: Which two numbers from amongst the given options should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? (42 ÷ 7) × 5 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 5 × 2)
Option 1: 10 and 5
Option 2: 2 and 5
Option 3: 7 and 2
Option 4: 10 and 30
Correct Answer: 10 and 30
Solution : Given: (42 ÷ 7) × 5 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 5 × 2)
Replace the given numbers in the options with the original numbers in the given equation. First option: 10 and 5 ⇒ (42 ÷ 7) × 10 = 30 × 120 ÷ (5 + 10 × 2) ⇒ 6 × 10 = 30 × 4.8 ⇒ 60 ≠ 144 Second option: 2 and 5 ⇒ (42 ÷ 7) × 2 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 2 × 5) ⇒ 6 × 2 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 10) ⇒ 12 = 30 × 120 ÷ 20 ⇒ 12 ≠ 180 Third option: 7 and 2 ⇒ (42 ÷ 2) × 5 = 30 × 120 ÷ (10 + 5 × 7) ⇒ (21) × 5 = 30 × 120 ÷ (45) ⇒ 105 = 30 × 2.67 ⇒ 105 ≠ 80 Fourth option: 10 and 30 ⇒ (42 ÷ 7) × 5 = 10 × 120 ÷ (30 + 5 × 2) ⇒ (6) × 5 = 10 × 120 ÷ (40) ⇒ 30 = 10 × 120 ÷ 40 ⇒ 30 = 10 × 3 ⇒ 30 = 30
So, only the fourth option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
