Quiz 6 – Answers

S1. Ans.(d); a mother arrives for her first hearing..... as the context of the comprehension says that a mother has been arrived to a court with her babies which should be, obvious, for her first hearing.

S7. Ans.(b); resuscitation- to restore consciousness, vigor, or life to.

S9. Ans.(a); plausible- seemingly or apparently valid, likely or acceptable; credible

S10. Ans.(e); beckoned- to wave or nod to somebody with the intention to make the person come closer

S11. Ans.(d); (I) The constable was suspended recently on disciplinary grounds- as the sentence is in past tense. Thus, 'suspend' will get replaced by 'suspended'.
(II) The government hospital doctors found 150% alcohol content in his blood- what we are talking about is the alcohol content in the blood. So, 'content' is a noun here, not a verb. Thus, 'contented' will get replaced by 'content'.

S12. Ans.(b); (II) Investors were wondering, nonetheless, how far one of the worst trade disputes in many years could escalate- Here, 'disputing' is used as a verb which is irrelevant to the context of the statement. Thus, 'disputes' which is a noun will replace it.

S13. Ans.(e); All are correct

S14. Ans.(d); (I) But if he can pre-cool it and extend its life and send to a longer distance extending the market, he will get a better price, he points out- As the verb'extending' used here is according to the modal 'can'. Therefore, it will take first form verb with it i.e. 'extend'

S15. Ans.(a); (I) However, productivity of crops is often below the global average and much of the farm produce is wasted in the absence of a robust cold chain and warehousing facilities- 'would have been wasted' shows assumption here and the actual context of the sentence

(II) Where coffee is cured or hulled before being sold, manufacturing activity was involved and hence 25% of the income was to be taxed by the Centre- 'be' will always take past form of the verb. Hence, 'taxed by' would be the appropriate answer here.

Quiz 8 - Answers

S1. Ans.(a); The Brightline Initiative is a non-commercial coalition of leading global organizations dedicated to helping executives bridge the expensive and unproductive gap between strategy design and delivery- As the given statement is a description about an organization, the phrase 'will be dedicated to helping' is incorrect here.

S2. Ans.(d); As China moves beyond manufacturing and becomes a leader in innovation, it creates/will new opportunities- option (I) & (II) are the best suited alternatives/replacements as the Principal clause of sentence is in simple present tense. Thus, present perfect form in the subordinate clause is irrelevant to the context of the statement.

S3. Ans.(e); No correction required

S4. Ans.(c); Norway, the happiest country in 2017, is/has nudged out of the top spot by Finland- as option (I) & (II) are the only one that are grammatically and fits here.

S5. Ans.(b); Electricity is less user-friendly than oil. It is hard to store, it loses its oomph when shipped over long distances, and its transmission and distribution require hands-on regulation- The given statement is in present form. Hence, option (III) is the only option which is present form of tense.

S6. Ans.(c); On the one hand government policy should press forward with the transition as fast as it can- As other given options are grammatically incorrect. Therefore, option (III) is the most suitable alternative here.

S7. Ans.(d); Even so, he sought to unite to his country in a region where many clung to power by stoking tribal tension- 'sought' is the past form of 'seek'. So 'will/shall'(modals) can't take it after them.

S8. Ans.(b); Using artificial intelligence, Dark trace finds the quiet cyber-threats inside your organization, no matter how they got in- 'how they got in' is grammatically correct phrase here. Other options are inappropriate as they either form meaning out of the context or don't exist.

S9. Ans.(b); There have been concerted efforts to discredit me and my legacy, as was the case with the allegations made against me in your article- As the 'efforts' is a plural noun, so it will take plural verb with it. Other given options are ignored as they grammatically incorrect.

S10. Ans.(a); I would like to reiterate that every dollar of public money is accounted for, as it is my duty before God and the nation- the correct preposition that should be used here is 'of' which gives the context a meaningful form.

S11. Ans.(d); Our mission is/was to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and people improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations- option (I) is irrelevant to the context as 'encouragement' should be replaced with 'encourage'.

S12. Ans.(e); No correction required

S13. Ans.(b); The Broadcom ban is likely to be just the first volley of what the administration seems to see as a counter-attack- as preposition 'to' can only be fit here to make it meaningful.

S14. Ans.(c); None of this, though, will change the fact that over the past generationChina really has become a technological power comparable in many of its capabilities to Europe, Japan or America- modal 'will' can only take first form of verb with it.

S15. Ans.(a); The analogy risks making the conflict sound like a narrow technical issue, or simply one of which side makes more money- as the sentence is in present form, thus it will take only present form further.
