    Infant mortality rate in China has _________ from 200 per thousand to 14 per thousand.

    Hint

    Here, the infant mortality rate moves from a higher level (200) to a lower level (14). Hence, declined.

  2. Question 2 of 25
    2. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    A five-year-old boy was _________ from his school on Monday last by his servant for a ransom of $10,000.

    Hint

    The word “ransom” gives us the clue. A ransom is the money ($10,000) that has to be paid to the kidnapper (here, “servant”) so that he will set free the person kidnapped (here, the “five-year-old boy”).

  3. Question 3 of 25
    3. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    All the national bodies are responsible for _________ the standards of education will be brought under an apex body too shortly.

    Hint

    If you determine something, you cause it to be of a particular kind. Here, “the national bodies” decide what (kind) “the standards of education” should be.

  4. Question 4 of 25
    4. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    The car driver was arrested for rash driving and his licence was _________ by the police.

    Hint

    If something (here, the driver’s licence) is impounded by the police or other officials, they officially take possession of it because a law or rule has been broken (here, “rash driving”). ‘Impounded’ thus means seized in a specific context.

  5. Question 5 of 25
    5. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    When people around you are losing their heads, it is very difficult to remain serene. It needs a lot of _________.

    Hint

    When people around you are losing their heads, it is very difficult to remain serene (calm and peaceful). It needs a lot of patience.

  6. Question 6 of 25
    6. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    It is foolish to vent your spleen on a/an _________ object. Still, you make _________ enemies that way.

    Hint

    ‘Spleen’ means anger here, so, according to the meaning of the sentence, the object should be ‘inanimate’ (lifeless)

  7. Question 7 of 25
    7. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    Compromise is _________ to passionate natures because it seems to surrender, and to intellectual natures it seems a _________.

    Hint

    Third and fourth answer choices can be eliminated because intimidations is a noun whereas we have to fill an adjective, inherent will give the sentence a positive meaning whereas it is negative towards compromise. First and second answer choices are available options because unselected and odious are both negative words. Compromise and confusion, although, do not fit well, so the first answer choice will be the answer.

  8. Question 8 of 25
    8. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    The village headman was unlettered, but he was no fool, he could see through the _________ of the businessman’s proposition and promptly _________ him down.

    Hint

    A proposal is ‘turned down’ not forced down. So, we have to choose from second and fourth answer choices. ‘Naivete’ means inexperience and ‘sophistry’ means clever reasoning done to mislead. ‘Sophistry’ and ‘turned’ are the appropriate fillers for the sentence.

  9. Question 9 of 25
    9. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    The newly-opened restaurant at the District Centre _________ to the tastes of people from all walks of life and one is likely to find an _________ group there.

    Hint

    The first blank could be filled either by ‘appeal’ or ‘caters’ because ‘inhibits’ means prevents or restraint and ‘panders’ means satisfying vulgar tastes. So, we have first and third answer choices. ‘archetypal’ means of a particular kind while eclectic means choosing from various sources. ‘Electric’ goes well with the meaning of the sentence. So, the third answer choice is correct answer.

  10. Question 10 of 25
    10. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    We must try to understand his momentary _________ for he has _________ more strain and anxiety than any among us.

    Hint

    Vision is a dream, aberration is deviation from the standard behaviors, outcry is severe complaints and senility is condition in old age, momentary can either be aberration or vision, but in the sense of sentence, it is something that calls for some adjustments from others, it will, therefore, be aberration.

  11. Question 11 of 25
    11. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    Learning is more efficient when it is _________. It is less efficient when it is _________.

    Hint

    Learning can be made very efficient if it is delivered in the form of fun – games or interesting exercises. Drudgery means hard monotonous routine work. Clearly it makes the Learning less efficient.

    12. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    Physicians may soon have _________ to help paralysed people move their limbs bypassing the _________ nerves that once controlled their muscles.

    16. Question

    Hint

  17. Question 17 of 25
    17. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    He was _________ very clever, but he _________ performed excellently.

    Hint

    Since, there is a but between the two parts of the sentence, the passive words should be antonyms. First and fourth answer choices, thus, get eliminated. ‘never’ also do not fit the sense of the sentence properly thus, “not – always” are the most suitable fillers for the given sentence.

  18. Question 18 of 25
    18. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    A _________ analysis of these substances will show that they differ _________.

    19. Question

    20. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    Hint

    The second blank could either be ‘voice’ ‘Hypothetic’ means something that is assumed and ‘titular’ means a ruler without real authority. So, “titular – voice” is the appropriate choice of words.

  21. Question 21 of 25
    21. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    The _________ terrorist was finally _________ by the police.

    Hint

    ‘Apprehend’ means to arrest, ‘nabbed’ means to catch, ‘admonish’ is scolding mildly, the second gap could be filled by either first, second or fourth answer choices. ‘renowned’ means popular for some talent or skill, thus, too can be eliminated. ‘notorious’ means popular for wrong reason and is, therefore, a more appropriate choice than famous.

  22. Question 22 of 25
    22. Question

    Select the most appropriate word for the blank space.

    The perpetual spinning of particles is much like that of a top, with one significant difference, unlike the top, the particles have no need to be wound up, for _________ is one of their _________ properties.

    Hint

    If the particles need no wounding then spanning is their natural property, so the filler for second plant should be synonymous to natural or internal. ‘Radical’ means drastic, ”intrinsic’ is inbuilt or internal, ‘intangible’ is something that is not available in the physical form, ‘hypothetical’ is assumed. Thus, ‘intrinsic’ will be the filler for the second gap.
