She is ____ more clever than we know.
Explanation: Correct Sentence: She is a lot more clever than we know. <br> In this sentence, 'a lot' is used to indicate a significant degree of cleverness, emphasizing that she is much more clever than what is known or assumed. <br> Incorrect Options: <br> Option A: some<br> This option is incorrect because 'some' does not convey the strong emphasis needed in this context. It suggests a small or moderate amount, which doesn't fit the intended meaning of the sentence. <br> Option B: many<br> This option is incorrect because 'many' is used to refer to a large number of countable items. It is not appropriate for describing the degree of cleverness, which is an uncountable trait. <br> Option D: none<br> This option is incorrect because 'none' negates the cleverness altogether, which is not the intended meaning of the sentence. The sentence aims to highlight that she is significantly clever, more so than known. <br> Example of correct usage: <br> She is a lot more clever than we know. <br> This construction accurately conveys the idea that her cleverness is much greater than what is perceived, using 'a lot' to emphasize the extent of her cleverness.
A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
He cut my hair ____ today than last time.
Explanation: Option A: more quickly<br> This is the correct option. 'More quickly' is the comparative form of the adverb 'quickly,' which compares the speed of cutting hair today with the speed of cutting hair last time. <br> Option B: more quick<br> 'More quick' is grammatically incorrect. The correct comparative form of 'quick' is 'quicker.' <br> Option C: quick<br> 'Quick' is an adjective, not an adverb, and does not fit the sentence structure. <br> Option D: quicker<br> 'Quicker' is the comparative form of 'quick,' but it should be preceded by 'more' to form a comparative phrase 'more quickly' in this context. <br> In conclusion, the correct answer is Option A: more quickly, as it correctly completes the comparative statement about the speed of hair cutting.

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. <br><br> The first report presented by the Disinvestment Commission has all the ingredients of a well-researched policy document but its recommendations will be of little relief to the cash starved Government in mobilising additional resources from the selling of the equity shares of the public sector enterprises. The commission headed by Mr. GV Ramakrishna has proposed the setting up of a disinvestment fund constituted from the proceeds of sale of equity of profitable PSEs and the funds available with the National Renewal Fund. It has been stipulated that the amount thus collected could be utilised for turning around the loss-making units and restructuring the marginally profit-marking undertakings. This is one way of reducing the budgetary support to loss-making PSEs while ensuring that they do not face closure due to paucity of funds. With the Government incurring expenditure of Rs. 2200 cr in providing budgetary support to the loss-making PSEs, the United Front regime is in an unenviable position but at the same time the common minimum programme and the pressure from the Left parties have ruled out hard decisions on PSE restructuring and hence this roundabout way of withdrawal of budgetary support to the ailing PSEs.
