Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Polyandry
Explanation: Polyandry means the practice of a woman having more than one husband at the same time. Therefore, Multiple-husband Marriage is the correct synonym. Monogamy and celibacy are opposite or contrasting ideas because monogamy refers to one spouse and celibacy refers to abstaining from marriage or sexual relations. Disinheritance is related to loss of inheritance and does not match the meaning of polyandry.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Monastery
Explanation: A monastery is a building where monks live, worship, and follow a religious life. Abbey is the correct synonym because it also refers to a religious building associated with monks or religious life. Marketplace, city, and public place are not suitable because they refer to secular or general public locations, while monastery specifically indicates a religious residential place.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Emigrant
Explanation: An emigrant is a person who leaves his or her own country to settle in another country. Expatriate is the correct synonym because it also refers to a person living outside his or her native country. Native, resident, and local are not suitable because they indicate a person belonging to or living in a place rather than leaving one’s country to settle elsewhere.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
Patrimony
Explanation: Patrimony means property or wealth inherited from one’s father or ancestors. Heritage is the correct synonym because it refers to something received or passed down from previous generations. Debt, liability, and loss are opposite or negative ideas and do not express inherited ancestral property or wealth.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Invulnerable
Explanation: Invulnerable means impossible to harm, damage, or defeat. The correct antonym is Vulnerable, which means open to harm or damage. Indestructible, unassailable, and immune are close in meaning to invulnerable, so they cannot be its opposites. Therefore, vulnerable best expresses the opposite meaning.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Illiterate
Explanation: Illiterate means unable to read or write. The correct antonym is Literate, which means able to read and write. Unlettered, unschooled, and ignorant are related to lack of education or knowledge and are close to the meaning of illiterate. Therefore, they are not opposite in meaning.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Hospice
Explanation: Hospice means a place that provides care and comfort to seriously or terminally ill people. The correct antonym is Neglect, which means lack of care or attention. Shelter, care home, and infirmary are related to care or support and are therefore close to the meaning of hospice, not opposite to it.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Theology
Explanation: Theology means the study of God, religion, and religious beliefs. The correct antonym is Atheism, which means disbelief in the existence of God. Divinity, doctrine, and sacred studies are connected with religious study or belief and therefore cannot be antonyms of theology.

A person who leaves his or her own country to settle in another country.
Explanation: An emigrant is a person who leaves his or her own country to settle in another country.

Out of given alternatives, choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/ sentence.
The study of God, religion, and religious beliefs.
Explanation: Theology means the study of God, religion, and religious beliefs. Pediatrics is related to the medical treatment of children, patrimony means ancestral property or wealth, and monastic is related to monks or monastery life. Therefore, theology is the correct one-word substitute.
Out of given alternatives, choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/ sentence.
A place that provides care and comfort to seriously or terminally ill people.
Explanation: Hospice is the correct word for a place that provides care and comfort to seriously or terminally ill people.

Therefore, hospice is the best answer.
Out of given alternatives, choose the word which can be substituted for the given words/ sentence.
The practice of a woman having more than one husband at the same time.
Explanation: Polyandry means the practice of a woman having more than one husband at the same time.

The monks lives inside the monastery and followed a religious life.
Explanation: The sentence requires parallel past tense because the second verb is followed. Therefore, lived inside the monastery and followed is grammatically correct.

The pediatrician examined the newborn baby carefully because the disease was incurably but not serious.
Explanation: The adjective incurable is required after the linking verb was, not the adverb incurably. The phrase was incurable but not serious is grammatically correct and meaningful.

Certain words/phrases are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions. <br><br><br> In a quiet hill town, a young emigrant named Arjun returned after many years to settle matters related to his family patrimony. His ancestral house stood near an old monastery, where monks lived a simple and disciplined life.

The doctor believed that care should not be limited only to diseases that were curable; even patients with incurable conditions deserved dignity, comfort, and respect.
