1) e
We have to choose one option among the given options that fits both the blanks appropriately.
Elimination method - as we can see that we need an adjective(to qualify the noun 'family) to fit in the blank A,so we can easily eliminate options b ,c,d.
Affluence- noun, which means the state of being affluent/rich.
Forth - adverb,which means forward in time ,place etc.
Admire - verb,which means to regard with delight.
Now,between options a and e , option e ,that is,privileged which is an adjective meaning 'having special privileges 'fits in both of the blanks appropriately and grammatically.
2) d
Again ,go with elimination method.
persistence - noun,the property of being persistent
daring - Adjective, adventurous, courageous
boring - Adjective, dull
honourable - Adjective, respectable
Hence,honourable is the word that fits in both the blanks contextually and grammatically.
3)d
Here, only in sentences (A) & (B), both the words fit in to form a contextually and grammatically correct statement. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.
Study: a detailed investigation and analysis of a subject or situation.
Ponder: think about (something) carefully,
especially before making a decision or reaching a conclusion.
4) e
Here, both the words fit in all the three statements to make the sentences grammatically and contextually correct. Hence, option (e) is the most
suitable answer choice.
Anomaly: “something that deviates from what is
standard, normal, or expected.”
Departure: “a deviation from an accepted,
prescribed, or usual course of action”/ “the action of leaving, especially to start a journey
5) Here, only in sentences (A) & (B), both the words fit in to form a contextually and grammatically correct statement. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.
Accolade: “an award or privilege granted as a
special honour or as an acknowledgement of
merit.”/ “a touch on a person's shoulders with a
sword at the bestowing of a knighthood”
Recognition: “identification of someone or
something or person from previous encounters or
knowledge”/ “acknowledgement of the existence,
validity, or legality of something”/ “appreciation
or acclaim for an achievement, service, or ability”
6)a
Here, the error lies in part (C) of the statement, where “dare call” will be replaced with “dares to call”. Here, ‘dare’ has been used as main verb and will therefore qualify the singular noun, which is ‘no one’. ‘Dare’ will then be followed by ‘to+v1’. But when ‘dare’ and ‘need’ are used as modal auxiliary, then we do not add ‘-s’ to make it singular. Then we direct use ‘to’ after them. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.
7) d
Here, “his” will be replaced with “him” because verbs like “heard, watch, behold, see, let, make, bid” will be followed by objective case pronouns and in case we use infinitive then it is used
without “to” (bare infinitive). Hence, option (d) is the most suitable answer choice.
8) d
Here, the error lies in the last part of the statement where “tomorrow” will be changed to “the next day” because in indirect narration, ‘tomorrow’ is
changes to ‘on the tomorrow’ or ‘the next day’. Hence, option (d) is the most suitable answer choice.
9) The given statement is grammatically correct and does not require any changes. Hence, option (e) is the most suitable answer choice.
10) Here, the error lies in part (D) of the statement where “would not” will be replaced by “had not” because in cases of situations denoting unfulfilled
wishes/ desires of past, in conditional clause, we use ‘if+subject+had+v3’ or ‘had+subject+v3’. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.
