Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".

My mother has (1) / returned back to (2) / Delhi a day before yesterday. (3) / No Error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The error lies in the redundancy of using both returned and back together. The verb return itself implies coming back or going back, so the word, back is unnecessary.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: My mother has returned to Delhi a day before yesterday.

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation:

The sentence suggests that the Japanese way to alleviate stress, known as forest bathing, can be practiced in any location where trees are abundant, such as a nearby park.

The term abundance here implies a plentiful or large number of trees, creating a conducive environment for this stress-relief practice.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "You can forest-bathe wherever trees are abundance, including a nearby park".

Question : Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
Gullible

Option 1: Naive

Option 2: Candid

Option 3: Nosy

Option 4: Dreary

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Naive


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Gullible and naive are synonyms because they both describe a tendency to believe in or trust others easily, often without being suspicious or critical. If someone is gullible, they are easily deceived or manipulated. Likewise, if someone is naive, they may lack experience or sophistication.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Candid: This means being straightforward, honest, and sincere in speech or expression, often in a way that is direct and without reserve.
  • Dreary: This refers to something that is dull, bleak, and lifeless; it is depressing.
  • Nosy: This means to show too much curiosity about other people's affairs; to be overly inquisitive.
