1. ——– you wake me up so early on a Sunday?
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. Use of the phrase SO EARLY in the sentence is making it clear that this sentence is not a request, so both the options ‘A’ and ‘ D’ are impossible here. This is not an order also, so option ‘C’ too is impossible. DARE is correct, it means ‘Can you be brave enough to wake me up so early on a Sunday?’
Hindi translation of the given sentence: क्या तुम मुझे किसी Sunday वाले दिन इतना जल्दी जगाने का दुस्साहस कर सकते हो?
2. He was sorry ——– late last night.
Answer: A
Explanation: Option ‘A’. ‘Be sorry about/for + gerund (ing form)’ is used for apology/regret. The context here says that the person in the subject of the sentence (here HE) wanted to apologize.
Be sorry + full infinitive (TO + V1) is chiefly used to sympathize; so option ‘B’ (to come) not possible here. See this sentence: We were both sorry to hear you’ve been ill again.
3. He ——– his living by hard work.
Answer: A
Explanation: Option ‘A’. Here LIVING = money to buy the things that you need in life. Obviously EARNS is the correct word to be used here.
Hindi translation of the given sentence: वह अपना गुजारा करने के लिए कड़ा परिश्रम करके पैसा कमाता है.
4. Bread is usually made ——– wheat.
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. The word OF is used when the form of the thing in the object remains the same (physical change); as in ‘This table is made of wood’. Here the object is WOOD, we know when it is formed in a table the form of wood does not change; it remains wood still. The word FROM is used when there is change of form (chemical change); e.g.
Curd is made from milk.
5. Did the child ——– from the chair?
Answer: D
Explanation: Option ‘D’. DID is a helping verb here; it always takes first form of the verb; so FALL only is the correct option.
6. Do you ——– to see my collection?
Answer: C
Explanation: Option ‘C’. WANT = to desire. The verb LIKE is used when something is enjoyed being watched etc., and we use it in general sense; as ‘I like to see movies’. But here the context is not like that, rather it’s a particular desire, so WANT is correct.
7. After initial setback, all ——– programmes were successful due to the initiative of the new dynamic team.
Answer: D
Explanation: Option ‘D’. SUBSEQUENT = happening or coming after something else. CONSEQUENT = happening as a result.
8. He seemed most amenable ——– my idea.
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. AMENABLE is followed by TO, not WITH or FOR or any other preposition.
9. It would be a good idea if you ——– his permission first.
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. If the verb in the main clause is in the PAST (here WOULD BE), the verb in the IF-CLAUSE is in the Simple Past Tense. So GOT is correct.
10. Pythons have horny claw-like spurs, which are present ——– either side of the anus.
Answer: A
Explanation: Option ‘A’. Here we are talking about the SIDES of the ANUS, not the ANUS itself. Any side of a thing is a surface, and therefore two-dimensional, so ON is correct.
Had it been the ANUS itself, the correct word would have been IN as the ANUS is three-dimensional.
