Question 1 / 20

1
The server has not delivered the coffee ....... I have already been present for an hour.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the sentence context. The sentence indicates an action that is expected but has not happened up to the present moment, despite a long waiting period. Step 2: Evaluate the options: - 'till': 'Till' (or 'until') means up to the time that, or before. It is not used in this way to complete a present perfect negative sentence. - 'up': 'Up' is a preposition or adverb, often used in phrasal verbs, but doesn't fit the temporal context here. - 'yet': 'Yet' is commonly used in negative sentences or questions in the present perfect tense to refer to something that has not happened but is expected to happen. This perfectly fits the meaning. - 'still': 'Still' implies that an action is continuing or has not changed. While it conveys ongoing status, 'yet' is specifically for something not having happened *up to now* in a negative context. Step 3: Select the word that correctly conveys the meaning of something not having happened by the current time. 'Yet' is the most appropriate adverb for this context.
2
Complete the sentence logically: 'Because he believes in democratic principles, he always ......'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the initial clause: 'Because he believes in democratic principles'. This implies that his actions will be consistent with the values of democracy. Step 2: Recall that democratic principles involve respecting majority views, consensus-building, and not imposing one's own will. Step 3: Evaluate each option based on this understanding. Step 4: Options like 'decides all the matters himself', 'enforces his own', or 'imposes his own views' contradict democratic principles. Step 5: 'reconciles with the majority views and gives us his own' (interpreting 'gives us his own' as either stating his views while aligning with the majority, or possibly 'gives up his own' in deference) is the most consistent with respecting majority decisions. Step 6: Therefore, select this option as the most appropriate completion.
3

0:00
Solution: Step 1: Understand that the task is to select the most appropriate word from the given options to fit a specific context (which is not provided in the problem statement). Step 2: Evaluate the meaning and common usage of each word in the options. Step 3: Based on general knowledge of vocabulary and sentence completion patterns, the word 'into' is identified as the correct choice for a suitable context. Step 4: Confirm that 'into' is the most fitting word among the choices for a plausible scenario.
5
Complete the sentence with a logical action: 'The weather outside was extremely pleasant and hence we decided to ______.'
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the first part: 'The weather outside was extremely pleasant and hence'. 'Hence' indicates a logical consequence or result. Step 2: 'Extremely pleasant weather' would naturally lead to activities that take advantage of good outdoor conditions and are enjoyable. Step 3: Evaluate the options: * 'utilise our time in watching the television': This is an indoor activity, not a direct consequence of pleasant outdoor weather. * 'refrain from going out for a morning walk': This is the opposite of what one would do in pleasant weather. * 'enjoy a morning ride in the open': This is an outdoor activity that is enjoyable in pleasant weather, aligning perfectly with the premise. * 'employ this rare opportunity for writing letters': While possible, it's not the most direct or common way to 'enjoy' pleasant weather. * 'remain seated in our rooms in the bungalow': This contradicts the desire to enjoy pleasant outdoor weather. Step 4: 'enjoy a morning ride in the open' is the most logical and fitting completion for the sentence.
6
Despite listening, I remained unaware of what he was ...... about.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: The sentence describes an act of listening to someone speak without understanding the subject. Step 2: The blank requires a verb related to spoken communication, used idiomatically with 'about'. Step 3: Evaluate the options: 'saying', 'talking', 'telling', 'discussing'. Step 4: While one can 'say something about' or 'tell me about', the phrase 'what he was saying about' is less common than 'what he was talking about'. 'Discussing about' is grammatically redundant (should be 'discussing something'). Step 5: 'Talking about' is the most natural and grammatically correct phrasal verb to express the topic of conversation. Step 6: Therefore, 'talking' is the correct verb.
7
Complete the sentence logically: 'His behaviour is so unpredictable that he ......'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Identify the key characteristic: 'His behaviour is so unpredictable'. Step 2: Consider the natural and direct social consequence of unpredictability. When someone's actions cannot be foreseen, they become unreliable. Step 3: A lack of reliability directly leads to a lack of trust from others. Step 4: Evaluate the options for the most fitting consequence. Step 5: 'is seldom trusted by others' accurately describes the direct social outcome of having unpredictable behavior. Step 6: Other options are either less direct consequences or do not logically follow from unpredictability.
8
Select the word from the given options that best completes a hypothetical sentence or context, where the word 'residents' is the most appropriate choice.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Understand that the task is to select the most appropriate word from the given options to fit a specific context (which is not provided in the problem statement). Step 2: Evaluate the meaning and common usage of each word in the options. Step 3: Based on general knowledge of vocabulary and sentence completion patterns, the word 'residents' is identified as the correct choice for a suitable context. Step 4: Confirm that 'residents' is the most fitting word among the choices for a plausible scenario.
9
Complete the sentence with a logical consequence of the stated trait: 'He is so lazy that he ______.'
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the structure 'He is so lazy that he...'. This indicates a cause-and-effect relationship: his extreme laziness leads to a specific, logical outcome. Step 2: The consequence must logically follow from being 'lazy', implying a lack of effort, procrastination, or inefficiency, especially concerning tasks or work. Step 3: Evaluate the options: * 'cannot depend on others for getting his work done': Laziness often leads to *depending* on others, not being unable to. * 'cannot delay the schedule of completing the work': Laziness would typically lead to *delaying* work. * 'can seldom complete his work on time': 'Seldom' means rarely. This is a direct and logical consequence of laziness – a lazy person rarely finishes work punctually. * 'dislike to postpone the work that he undertakes to do': This contradicts being lazy; a lazy person would likely *prefer* to postpone work. * 'always help others to complete their work': This is the opposite of a lazy person's typical behavior regarding work. Step 4: 'can seldom complete his work on time' is the most logical and direct consequence of being very lazy.
10

0:00
Solution: Step 1: Understand that the task is to select the most appropriate word from the given options to fit a specific context (which is not provided in the problem statement). Step 2: Evaluate the meaning and common usage of each word in the options. Step 3: Based on general knowledge of vocabulary and sentence completion patterns, the word 'necessary' is identified as the correct choice for a suitable context. Step 4: Confirm that 'necessary' is the most fitting word among the choices for a plausible scenario.

Step 3: Based on general knowledge of vocabulary and sentence completion patterns, the word 'discovery' is identified as the correct choice for a suitable context. Step 4: Confirm that 'discovery' is the most fitting word among the choices for a plausible scenario.
12
It ...... likely that Prashant will not secure the position.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: The sentence expresses an observation or an impression about Prashant's selection. Step 2: The blank requires a verb that conveys this sense of appearance or likelihood in an impersonal construction 'It ______ that...'. Step 3: Evaluate the options: 'feels', 'looks', 'believes', 'seems'. Step 4: 'Feels' typically refers to a personal sensation (e.g., 'I feel that...'). 'Looks' often implies visual evidence. 'Believes' denotes a personal conviction. Step 5: 'Seems' is used impersonally to convey an impression or a likelihood, fitting the structure 'It seems that...'. Step 6: Therefore, 'seems' is the most suitable verb.
13
Complete the sentence with a contrasting observation: 'Although he is reputed for making very candid statements ______.'
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Identify the conjunction 'Although'. This signals that the second part of the sentence will present information that contrasts with or is contrary to the first part. Step 2: The first part 'he is reputed for making very candid statements' means he is known for being direct, frank, clear, and honest in his communication. Step 3: Therefore, the contrasting idea for 'today's statements' should be that they were *not* candid, meaning they were unclear, vague, or open to misinterpretation. Step 4: Evaluate the options: * 'his today speech was not fairly audible': Relates to sound, not the clarity or frankness of the content. * 'his promises had always been realistic': Not a direct contrast to making candid statements. * 'his speech was very interesting': Does not contrast with candor. * 'people follow whatever he instructs to them': Not a contrast to candor. * 'his today's statements were very ambiguous': 'Ambiguous' means unclear or open to more than one interpretation, which is the direct opposite of 'candid' (clear and straightforward). Step 5: 'his today's statements were very ambiguous' is the most logical and contrasting completion.
14
Complete the sentence with the most logical reason: 'She never visits any zoo because she is a strong opponent of the idea of ______.'
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the first part: 'She never visits any zoo because she is a strong opponent of the idea of...'. The second part must explain *why* someone would be a strong opponent of zoos. Step 2: Zoos are places where animals are kept in enclosures, meaning they are held in captivity. Step 3: A 'strong opponent' of zoos would naturally object to the core practice of keeping animals captive, especially if it's perceived as being for human entertainment. Step 4: Evaluate the options: * 'setting the animals free into forest': This is what an animal advocate might support, not oppose in the context of zoos. * 'feeding the animals while others are watching': A minor aspect, not the fundamental reason for strong opposition. * 'watching the animals in their natural abode': Zoos are not natural abodes. * 'going out of the house on a holiday': Irrelevant to the topic of zoos. * 'holding the animals in captivity for our joy': This directly addresses the main ethical concern associated with zoos and provides a logical reason for strong opposition. Step 5: 'holding the animals in captivity for our joy' is the most logical and consistent completion for the sentence.
15
Complete the sentence: He is so [blank] that he immediately believes my story of ghosts.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Analyze the context of the sentence to understand the required meaning. The sentence describes someone who quickly trusts a story, even an unusual one like a ghost story. Step 2: Evaluate the given options: - 'innocent': suggests lack of guilt or experience, not directly related to believing quickly. - 'credulous': means having or showing too great a readiness to believe things. This perfectly fits the context. - 'vociferous': means loud and forceful in expressing opinions. This is irrelevant. - 'credible': means able to be believed; convincing. This describes the story, not the person. Step 3: The word 'credulous' best completes the sentence by describing someone easily convinced.
16

Step 4: Confirm that 'approachable' is the most fitting word among the choices for a plausible scenario.
19
Complete the sentence with a contrasting statement: 'Even though it is very large house, ......'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Recognize the concessive phrase 'Even though'. This phrase signals that the following clause will present a surprising or contrary fact despite the information in the first clause. Step 2: The first clause states: 'it is very large house'. The expectation for a large house is ample space. Step 3: Therefore, the contrasting idea for the second clause would be a lack of space, particularly for a specific purpose. Step 4: Evaluate the options. 'there is hardly any space available for children' directly contradicts the expectation of a large house having plenty of space, especially for children. Step 5: Options suggesting a lot of space or no dearth of space would be consistent, not contrasting, with a large house.
20
