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".

B. He climbed in and then just sat there thinking.
C. His thoughts were totally focused on his brother.
D. Then he quickly made his way to his truck.

Option 3: ADBC

Option 4: CDAB

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

  • The second sentence narrates what he did, which is (D): Then he quickly made his way to his truck.
  • The third sentence explains the next step taken by him, which is (B): He climbed in and then just sat there, thinking.

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.

Dinner in the Great Hall that night (1)_________ a pleasant experience for Sunny. The (2)_________ about his shouting match with Umbridge had (3)__________ exceptionally fast, even (4)_________ standards. He heard whispers all (5)_________ as he sat eating between Rob and Ravi.

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 3.

Option 1: travelled

Option 2: drove

Option 3: migrated

Option 4: moved

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: travelled


Solution : The first option is correct.

Travelled in this context metaphorically implies the rapid spread or dissemination of the news. When information spreads quickly or widely, the term "travelled" is often used figuratively to indicate the swift transmission or circulation of the news about the incident.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

  • Migrated: This refers to the movement of people or animals from one region or habitat to another, often for the purpose of settling in a new place.
  • Drove: This typically refers to a group of animals, especially cattle or sheep, being herded or moved together from one place to another.
  • Moved: It refers to any form of displacement or transition, whether physical movement or an emotional response.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be, "The news about his shouting match with Umbridge had travelled exceptionally fast".

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 4.

Option 1: by the institute's

Option 2: as the institute's

Option 3: of the institutes'

Option 4: at the institute

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: by the institute's


Solution : The first option is correct.

In the sentence, the phrase by the institute's standards is used to compare the speed of the news spreading to the usual or expected rate set by the institute itself.

As the institute's, of the institute's, and at the institute's do not fit the context of comparing the speed of news dissemination against the institute's usual or expected rate. These phrases don't convey the comparative aspect or measure the speed against a specific standard set by the institute.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be, "The news about his shouting match with Umbridge had travelled exceptionally fast, even by the institute's standards".
