Correct Answer: ABDC


Solution : The third option is correct.

While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them:

  • Sentence A introduces us to the vague subject 'he' and the description of his face. It is the introductory sentence and will be put in the first place.
  • Sentence B tells us about the perspective of the narrator regarding the vague subject. It will be put in second place.
  • Sentence D tells us about the activity followed by the narrator (reading a book). It will be put in third place.
  • The last sentence is C, as it mentions the lack of concern by the vague subject towards the narrator's attempt at reading.

Question : Given below are four sentences in jumbled order. Pick the option that gives their correct order.

A. He had lost his leg in an accident five years back.
B. With that accident his dream of becoming the next Carl Lewis had been shattered forever.
C. In place of his left leg was a wooden stump.
D. Vikas sat up and removed the bed sheet that was covering his leg.

Option 1: CDAB

Option 2: BCAD

Option 3: ACDB

Option 4: DCAB

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: DCAB


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option: DCAB.

The logical flow of sentences is:

  • Sentence D: This sentence sets the scene, describing Vikas's action and implying that something is concealed under the bed sheet.
  • Sentence C: This sentence provides a crucial detail about Vikas's condition, revealing that he has a wooden stump in place of his left leg.
  • Sentence A: This sentence gives background information about the cause of Vikas's condition, explaining that he lost his leg in an accident.
  • Sentence B: The final sentence connects Vikas's condition to the impact it had on his aspirations, suggesting that the accident ended his dream of becoming an athlete like Carl Lewis.

So, the correct order would be: Vikas sat up and removed the bed sheet that was covering his leg. In place of his left leg was a wooden stump. He had lost his leg in an accident five years ago. With that accident, his dream of becoming the next Carl Lewis had been shattered forever.

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 1.

Option 1: were not

Option 2: were neither

Option 3: was not

Option 4: is not

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: was not


Solution : The third option is correct.

Explanation:
Is not is in the present tense and doesn't match the past tense of the sentence. Were not and were neither are in the plural past tense and don't agree with the singular subject dinner.

The correct match is was not, as it correctly matches the past tense and singular subject of the sentence to indicate that the dinner in the Great Hall was not a pleasant experience for Sunny.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be, "Dinner in the Great Hall that night was not a pleasant experience for Sunny".

Question : Choose the sentence that contains an error.

Option 1: I need to buy an new iPhone.

Option 2: The cat sat on the windowsill.

Option 3: She is the best singer in the choir.

Option 4: He is an artist who paints landscapes.

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: I need to buy an new iPhone.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The indefinite article an is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known and if it begins with a vowel sound. In the given sentence, the article an should be replaced with "a", as the word "new" begins with a consonant sound.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I need to buy a new iPhone.
