[01/05, 9:48 PM] अman: The judge asked the accused why was he
looking so depressed.
1) why was he looking so depress
2) why he looked depressing
3) why he was looking so depressed
4) that why he looked so depressed
5) No correction required
[01/05, 9:49 PM] अman: 42. 3; The given sentence is ‘assertive’ not an
‘interrogative’ one. In an assertive sentence
the auxiliary verb comes after the subject,
whereas in interrogative sentence the
auxiliary verb comes just after question word.
For example: Why were you absent from the
class? – Interrogative Sentence
Why he was absent, asked his friend. –
Assertive Sentence
In the light of the above examples, the given
sentence is an assertive sentence. Therefore,
option (3) is the correct option to replace the
phrase in bold. All other options can easily
be excluded by applying the principle of least
deviation.
[01/05, 9:49 PM] अman: 43. They could not admire his bright performance
because of they dislike him.
1) because of their dislike
2) because they dislike
3) because of their disliking of
4) as they have disliked
5) No correction required
[01/05, 9:50 PM] अman: 43. 2; The given sentence is the combination of two
simple sentences:
(i) They dislike him.
(ii) They could not admire his bright
performance.
To join the above two sentences ‘because’
has been used. The phrase in bold can be
replaced by option (2), because this option is
most similar to the phrase in bold. Other
options are widely deviated and cannot be the
correct choice.
[01/05, 9:51 PM] अman: 44. As the time were hard for all, the country was
generally making progress.
1) Though the times were
2) Since the time was
3) Since the times were
4) Because the time was
5) No correction required
[01/05, 9:52 PM] अman: 44. 1; In the given sentence two contrasting ideas
have been mentioned. ‘Hard time’ and
‘general progress’ are certainly contrasting
things. To express contrasting ideas we use
the conjunction ‘Though.......yet’
For example,
Though she is black yet she is beautiful.
Though he is rich yet he is dissatisfied.
Thus, it is clear that among the given options,
only (1) is correct.
[01/05, 9:53 PM] अman: 45. Our hope was that he would not enter college
till he had had some grounding in science.
1) had some ground of
2) had had some ground for
3) had to have some ground of
4) had been having some ground in
5) No correction required
[01/05, 9:55 PM] अman: 47. He asked me if I will accept his conditions if
he helped me.
1) that if I will accept
2) that if I would accept
3) if I would accept
4) if would I be accepting
5) No correction required
[01/05, 9:56 PM] अman: 47. 3; The given sentence is in past tense. Hence ‘I
will accept’ should be replaced with ‘I would
accept’. Option (1) cannot be a correct
because instead of ‘would’ it has ‘will’. Now,
when an interrogative sentence is changed
into an assertive sentence, we do not use
“..........asked that”- rather we simply use
'asked'. Option (2) can be rejected. The use of
‘would I’ in option (4) is wrong because such
structure is used in interrogative sentence
not in assertive sentence. Therefore, option
(4) can easily be rejected. We are now left with
option (3), which is absolutely correct
[01/05, 9:57 PM] अman: 48. The ship was not fit to survive another storm
as the damage was beyond repair.
1) fitted to survive 2) fit to be surviving

his family.

2) went not well within
3) could not go well into
4) did not go well with
5) No correction required
[01/05, 9:59 PM] अman: 49. 4; In the given sentence, the phrase printed in
bold should have ‘with’ not ‘within’. We find
that (4) only is the correct option.
[01/05, 10:00 PM] अman: 50. What all this mean, is that the disciples are
more powerful than their teacher
1) all this means 2) does all this mean
3) all the meaning 4) does this all mean
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:01 PM] अman: 50. 1; ‘All this’ signifies the whole entity. The whole
entity can be assumed to be one unit and
hence it will agree with singular verb. Therefore
‘mean’ should be replaced by ‘means’. It is
evident from the given options that (1) only
has ‘means’. Hence go with option (1).
[01/05, 10:02 PM] अman: 51. He did not take up the project because he was
fearful to fail.
1) fearing of failure 2) afraid of failing
3) feared to fail 4) afraid in failing
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:03 PM] अman: 51. 2; The correct phrase is ‘afraid of’. The ‘afraid
of’ has been used in option (2) only. Besides
‘failing’ used in this option is also correct.
(Because after a preposition, gerund (v+ing)
is used). Hence option (2) is absolutely
correct.
[01/05, 10:04 PM] अman: 52. Stocks worthy o f rupees one lakh were
destroyed in the fire which occurred last night.
1) Stocks worth of 2) Stock worthy
3) Stocks worth 4) Stock, off worth
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:05 PM] अman: 2. 1; The correct phrase is ‘worth of’ not ‘worthy
of’. Hence (1) is the only correct option.
[01/05, 10:06 PM] अman: 53. The government’s focus on achieving growth
not to control inflation.
1) focus is to achieve
2) focus of achieving
3) being focused on achieving
4) focusing on achievement
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:07 PM] अman: 53. 1; The phrase given in bold is ‘ focus on
achieving’. In order to make the sentence
meaningful and grammatically correct, an
auxiliary verb is to be inserted in the given
phrase. We find that only in option (1), an
auxiliary verb ‘is’ has been inserted. When
the phrase printed in bold is replaced with
the phrase given in option (1) the sentence
becomes meaningful and grammatically
correct. Hence this is the right choice.
[01/05, 10:07 PM] अman: 54. The manager produced evidence to bear out his
case against Shyam.
1) in bearing 2) to bear with
3) to bear up 4) while bearing

4) near the venue where
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:10 PM] अman: 55. 4; Generally, to mention the position of a thing
we use ‘where’. Hence in the phrase given in
bold ‘that’ should be replaced with ‘where’.
This has been done in option (4). Hence this
is the correct option. Other options are widely✔✔👍🏿👍🏿☑☑
[01/05, 10:10 PM] अman: 56. Your bonus will dependent the quality of your
work.
1) is dependable 2) depends on
3) being dependent 4) going to depend
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:11 PM] अman: 56. 2; In order to arrive at the conclusion, let us try
to justify by replacing the phrase in bold with
the given options one by one.
On replacement with option (1) the sentence
becomes :
"Your bonus is dependable the quality...."
(omission of ‘on’)
On replacement with option (2):
"Your bonus depends on the quality...."
(correct) .
On replacement with option (3) :
"Your bonus being depends on the quality...."
(sentence changed to a conditional sentence,
and also, depends is incorrect).
On replacement with option (4) :
"Your bonus going to depend on the quality...."
(omission of auxiliary verb ‘is’)
It is clear that option (2) is the only correct
option👍🏿☑✔
[01/05, 10:11 PM] अman: 57. He did not ask for a raise since he had fear to
lose his job.
1) was fearful of 2) was feared to
3) was afraid to 4) had been afraid to
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:12 PM] अman: 57. 3; To express the emotion of fear we have the
word ‘afraid’. This word has been used in
options (3) and (4) only. Hence either of these
two can be a correct option. As the given
sentence is in simple past tense, only (3) is
the correct option. Option (4) can be ruled out,
because, the use of ‘had been’ suggests the
sentence to be in past perfect continuous
tense.☑👍🏿✔
[01/05, 10:12 PM] अman: 58. The organizers agreed to shift the conference at
some place convenience to all participants.
1) any of the place convenient
2) at places convenient
3) from a place of convenience
4) to a place convenient
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:14 PM] अman: 58. 4; A place might be ‘convenient ’ or
‘inconvenient’. ‘Convenience’ is not a
proper word for a place. Hence option (3) is
ruled out. In option (1) the use of ‘any of the
place’ in place of ‘at some place’ makes the
sentence grammatically incorrect and
meaningless. Hence this option is also ruled
out. In option (2) ‘places’ has been used. We
cannot use plural in place of singular, hence
(2) cannot be a correct option. Option (4) is
the only correct option here.
[01/05, 10:14 PM] अman: 59. As compared to last year there has been a sharp

detailed plans of expansion to RBI.
1) were required to submit
2) required for submission
3) are required to submit
4) requirement of submitting
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:16 PM] अman: 60. 1; To express the events which got completed in
past we use past indefinite tense. For this
we use auxiliary verb ‘was/were’. Since the
subject-word ‘banks’ is plural, ‘were’ should
be used. Hence, only option (1) is the correct
option👍🏿✔☑
[01/05, 10:16 PM] अman: 61. He advised his son not doing anything which
is against his conscience.
1) never to do 2) not done
3) to not doing 4) no doing of
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:17 PM] अman: 61. 1; In an imperative sentence where prohibition
is to be used, sentence in simple present
tense with negative word is used. Hence the
correct option is (1).☑✔👍🏿
[01/05, 10:17 PM] अman: 62. Even after talking the matter for hours we could
not arrive at a decision.
1) talking to 2) talking over
3) talked about 4) talk through
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:18 PM] अman: 62. 2; The given sentence suggests that "We
persuaded somebody for hours to accept
something but in vain." For such a sense in
the sentence, the correct phrase is ‘talk
over’. Hence (2) is the correct option. ‘Talk
to’ means ‘to say things defiantly’, ‘Talk about’
means ‘to give information or discuss something’.
‘Talk through’ is wrong usage.
[01/05, 10:18 PM] अman: 63. Every employee is entitled to those benefits from
the late regulations.
1) underneath the later
2) below the latest
3) within the lately
4) under the latest
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:20 PM] अman: 63. 4; Here, we are concerned with the 'latest
regulations'. Hence the options having ‘late’
✔☑👍🏿
or ‘later’ cannot be correct choice. Option (2)
and (4) have ‘the latest ’. Now, theprepositions ‘below’ and ‘under’ are to be
decided. When we talk about a particular rule
of a book we say that, that particular rule
comes under that chapter of the Rule-Book.
Hence (4) is correct.
[01/05, 10:20 PM] अman: 64. Recently there has been suddenly increased
the price of oil.
1) suddenly increasing
2) sudden increase from
3) a sudden increase in
4) increased suddenly
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:21 PM] अman: 64. 3; When the price of a thing increases in a very
short time, we say ‘a sudden increase’ in
the price of that thing. Thus, it is clear that
only option (3) is the correct option👍🏿☑✔
[01/05, 10:21 PM] अman: 65. That company is our rival since it provides similar
services to ours in a lowest rate.
1) with lowest of rate 2) in low rates
3) for as lower rates 4) at lower rates
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:22 PM] अman: 65. 4; Here, the rate for services of 'that company'
and 'our company' are being compared.
Therefore, the word in comparative degree
‘lower’ should be used. Besides, to talk about
the rate of something we use ‘at the rate’.
Thus, we see that (4) is the correct choice☑✔👍🏿
[01/05, 10:22 PM] अman: 66. India has many laws for regulating to use of
land in urban areas.
1) regulated for using
2) to regulate the use
3) are regulating the use
4) for regulating used
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:23 PM] अman: 👍🏿✔☑
66. 2; When a rule is framed to implement some
laws, we say that ‘laws have been framed to
regulate’ that body or thing. Thus, only ‘to
regulate’ is the correct usage. Hence, we
should go with option (2)
[01/05, 10:23 PM] अman: 67. Mr Gates is a successful entrepreneur donated
most of his wealth to charity.
1) has donated most of
2) donated mostly
3) who has donated most of
4) donates much of
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:24 PM] अman: ☑✔👍🏿
67. 3; The given sentence may be supposed to be
made of two simple sentences:
(i) Mr Gates is a successful entrepreneur
and (ii) It is Mr Gates who has donated most
of his wealth. From (ii) we can infer that only
(3) is the correct option. Other options do not
have the conjunction ‘who’ hence ruled out.
[01/05, 10:24 PM] अman: 68. We are unwilling to make any concession to
their demands.
1) not willing to take 2) willingly given
3) not willing in giving 4) unwilling to take
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:25 PM] अman: 👍🏿✔☑
68. 3; ‘Concession’ is ‘given’ not ‘taken’. Therefore,
options (1) and (4) having ‘take’ cannot be
correct. Now, let us consider option (2). Here
‘wi l l ingly ’ has been used in place of
‘unwilling’. We cannot be allowed to change
a positive word into negative one. Hence this
option is ruled out. Now, we are left with
option (3). This option is flawless, hence it
should be the correct option.
[01/05, 10:25 PM] अman: 69. Sudha was determined to get a better job, in
pursuing higher studies.
1) by pursuing higher 2) in the pursuit of high
3) pursuing higher 4) to pursuit higher
5) No correction required
[01/05, 10:26 PM] अman: 69. 3; ‘Pursue’ (verb) cannot be replaced by ‘pursuit’
(noun). Hence options (2) and (4) are ruled
out. The phrase in bold may be replaced by
option (3) because option (4) has ‘by’ which is
superfluous.
[01/05, 10:27 PM] अman: 70. The surface of the road has got severe damage
