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.
The story’s bitter antagonist felt such great ______ for all of the other characters that as a result, his life was very lonely and he died alone.
Explanation: The correct word is malevolence because it means ill will/malice, which matches the idea of a bitter antagonist feeling hatred that leads to loneliness. The other options don’t fit the context: insurgence relates to rebellion, reciprocation means mutual exchange, declamation is formal speech, and preference is a choice/liking, not hostility.
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.
They needn’t worry ________ ?
Explanation: The correct question tag for They needn’t worry is need they? because the auxiliary in the statement is need (negative: needn’t), so the tag repeats it in positive form. None of the given options match this correctly; isn’t it/doesn’t it/don’t it use the wrong auxiliary and subject, and heed they is not a valid tag (it looks like a typo for need they ).
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.
We warned her ________ the danger
Explanation: The most correct and standard usage is warned her of the danger (also acceptable: warned her about the danger ), because we warn someone of/about a danger; warn someone against … is mainly used with actions (e.g., warned her against going alone ), so warned her against the danger is not the best fit here. Therefore, the best answer is (d) of (with (b) about also being idiomatic in many contexts).
Out of given alternatives select the option which best expresses the meaning of given idiom/ phrase.

Explanation: play ducks and drakes : to waste/squander<br> He lost his job for playing ducks and drakes with the fund of corporation. <br> The best option is spent lavishly
Out of given alternatives select the option which best expresses the meaning of given idiom/ phrase.
He had to eat humble pie for his intense rudeness.
Explanation: to eat humble pie : to say sorry for mistakes. <br> I think I’m right, but, if I’m wrong, I’ll eat humble pie. <br> The best option is suffer humiliation
Out of given alternatives select the option which best expresses the meaning of given idiom/ phrase.
He left the town under a cloud.
Explanation: under a cloud : being subject to suspicion ; a state of disgrace<br> As he behaved in an abnormal way, his activites were under a cloud. <br> The best option is in disgrace.
Out of given alternatives select the word which is correctly spelt.
India is one of the (1)/ biggest oil importers but (2)/ is this practices good (3)/ for the country and Its people (4)/ No error (5)
Explanation: The error is in part (3): is this practices good is grammatically incorrect because practices is plural, so it needs a plural verb and plural demonstrative: are these practices good (or if singular, it would be is this practice good, but the sentence uses practices ). Hence option (d) is the incorrect phrase that must be replaced; the other parts are acceptable.
Out of given alternatives select the word which is correctly spelt.
There be a long queue for entry into the exhibition ground.
Explanation: is/was (be) is missing. be is a Linking Verb. <br> is/was/ (be) is followed by a Noun<br> There is/was a long queue is the right usage
Out of given alternatives select the word which is correctly spelt.
Aggression In some teenage boys(1)/may be linkage to overly (2) / large glands In their brains, (3)/ a new study has found (4)/ No error (5)
Explanation: The error is in part (2): may be linkage to is wrong because after may be we typically need an adjective/participle or a correct noun structure; here the intended meaning is a relationship, so the natural correction is may be linked to (verb form). Therefore option (b) correctly points to the incorrect phrase; the rest of the sentence works once this is corrected.
Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given below them. Certain words are given in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions. <br><br><br> After the Liberal a new catch-phrase is being coined: `A New Health Order'. Talking about setting it up is the theme of the WHO-sponsored international conference on primary health and medical care, currently being held at Milan in Italy. While much has been said and written on establishing new order , little has actually been done. Will the conference at Milan too swear by the new health order , go home and then forget about it, while the present medical and healthcare set-up in poor countries further entrenches itself? This does not have to be the fate of the radical resolutions that will undoubtedly be passed at Milan. Unlike creating a new world economic or information order, establishing a new health setup is essentially a matter for individual countries to accomplish. No conflict of international interests is involved. But this advantage is, at least until it begins to take concrete shape, only theoretical. The milliondollar question is whether individual third-world governments are able and willing to muster the will, the resources, the administrative and other infrastructure to carry out what it is entirely within their power to attain and implement. <br><br> The dimensions of the problem are known and the solutions broadly agreed on. The present medical and health-care system is urban-based, closely geared to drugs, hospitals and expensively trained apathetic doctors. The bulk of the population in poor countries, who live in rural areas, are left untouched by all this and must rely on traditional healers. The answer is to turn out medical/health personnel sufficiently, but not expensively, trained to handle routine complaints and to get villagers to pay adequate attention to cleanliness, hygienic sanitation, garbage disposal and other elementary but crucial matters. More complicated ailments can be referred to properly equipped centres in district towns, cities and metropolises. Traditional healers, whom villagers trust, can be among these intermediate personnel. Some third-world countries, including India, have launched or are preparing elaborate schemes of this nature. But the experience is not quite happy. There is resistance from the medical establishment which sees them as little more than licensed quackery but is not prepared either to offer condensed medical courses such as the former licentiate course available in this country and unwisely scrapped. There is the question of how much importance to give to indigenous system of medicine. And there is the difficult matter of striking the right balance between preventive healthcare and curative medical attention. These are complex issues and the Milan conference would perhaps be more fruitful if it were to discuss such specific subjects.
