Many emissions ____________ focus on
regulating pollutants released by
automobiles (motor cars) and other

small equipment such as lawn mowers
and diesel generators, and other sources

1) e
After rearrangement correct sentence will be “National development goals, including the newly devised framework for disaster risk reduction and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, seek to lessen the impacts of natural disasters and promote sustainable development.”
2) A
'you' should be used in place of 'unless' as 'to go' will need an object,and 'unless' will be used in place of 'you' to make the sentence correct contextually and grammatically.
3) b
After rearrangement correct sentence will be “Since international capital markets are more likely to have comparable businesses in innovative sectors, the analysts in those markets are better equipped to unlock the valuation potential of these Indian companies.”
4) C
‘Brand’ refers to a particular identity or image regarded as an asset. ‘Stock’ refers to the capital raised by a company or corporation through the issue and subscription of shares. ‘Bond’ is an interest-bearing security issued by governments, companies and some other organisations. ‘Barter’ refers to exchange (goods or services) for other goods or services without using money. ‘Bankruptcy’ means the state of being bankrupt. The given blanks can either use ‘bond’ or ‘stock’ as both are similar in meaning. Bonds and stocks are both securities, but the major difference between the two is that (capital) stockholders have an equity stake in a company (that is, they are owners), whereas bondholders have a creditor stake in the company (that is, they are lenders). Being a creditor, bondholders have priority over stockholders. Thus, ‘bond’ is the best fit word for the given blanks as it is clearly stated that it is a form of loan. This
makes option C the correct answer.
5) D
From the given passage it is evident that we
have to take the word filling the blanks in
relation to the word ‘emission’ which
means the production and discharge of
something, especially gas or radiation.
‘Norms’ refer to a standard or pattern,
especially of social behaviour, that is typical or
expected. Thus ‘emission norms’ cannot be a
correct term as it is not related social
behaviour. ‘Pollutants’ mean a substance that
pollutes something, especially water or the atmosphere. If this word is used in the given first blank it does not provide the correct term being defined. ‘Factors’ refer to a circumstance, fact, or influence that
contributes to a result. ‘Standards’ refer to a required or agreed level of quality or attainment. ‘Limits’ means a restriction on the size or amount of something permissible or possible. Of all the given options ‘factors’ and ‘standards’ can be seen as the most appropriate words for the given blanks. But an emission factor is a representative value that attempts to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant. Thus, option D is the best fit answer for the given blanks.
6) E
‘Aspects’ mean a particular part or feature of something. ‘Pollutants’ mean a substance that pollutes something, especially water or the atmosphere. ‘Employ’ means give work to (someone) and pay them for it. ‘Operate’ means (of a person) control the functioning of (a machine, process, or system). ‘Manipulate’ means control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly or unscrupulously. The passage hints towards unscrupulous usage of the environment for our own betterment. Thus, option E is the best fit answer for the given blanks.
7) E
The given blank is to be taken in consideration
with the word ‘administrative’. ‘Administrative
Adjudication’ means a decision or sentence
imposed by a judge. ‘Administrative Division’
refers to is a portion of a country or other
region delineated for the purpose of
administration. ‘Administrative hearing’ refers
to an informal way of resolving disputes
between agencies and citizens without the
strict procedural rules of a court.
‘Administrative Service’ refer to managing, planning, directing, and coordinating supportive services of an organization. ‘Administrative legislation’ is the body of law and legal work that deals with government agencies. Thus, option A fits all three blanks correctly.
8) a
The error is in (a) part of the sentence.
Drug-addicted is the correct usage.
'Drug -addict' is used as noun but here it's used as an adjective to modify the noun 'offenders'.Hence ,drug-addicted will be used.
'Incarceration' means imprisonment.
To enhance vocabulary must refer to ⬇️
💯 Compilation of THE HINDU VOCABS(with interesting examples)
The error is in (d) part of the sentence.
Use 'predominantly ' in place of predominant.
10) (c)
The error is in (c) part of the sentence.
Use 'enlighten ' in place of 'enlight'.
Enlighten(v) means 'to make clear to someone'.
