a) Nonchalance
b) Hindrance
c) Succor
d) Deluge
e) Torrent
Answer »Answer: (c)
Stranded people requires ‘Relief’. People should be housed in ‘Relief’ camps. CM would have held a review of the ‘Relief’ and rehabilitation work.
Nonchalance [noun] means ‘The state of being nonchalant; calm behavior that suggests you are not interested or do not care; calmness; equanimity; coolness;’.
Succor [noun] means ‘assistance and support in times of hardships and distress’.
Deluge [noun] means ‘a severe flood’; Torrent [noun] means ‘a severe flood’;
Among the given options, ‘succor’ has a meaning very close to the meaning of ‘relief’.
Hence, ‘Succor’ is the correct answer and option (c) is the correct answer.
Question : 12
Four fresh recruits planning to enter Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) for arms training were __________ in the frontier district of Kupwara on Sunday. The four were __________ after a brief gunfight in the Kupwara district. Extreme restraint was exercised, and opportunity was given to the militants to surrender. The four surrendered and subsequently .
a) zapped
b) killed
c) spawned
d) arrested
e) eliminated
Answer »Answer: (d)
The last two sentences give the hint for the word which would fill the blank. ‘Extreme restraint was exercised, and opportunity was given to the militants to surrender. The four surrendered’.
The highlighted sentences suggest that the militants weren’t killed or eliminated because extreme restraint was exercised, and the militants surrendered.
Zap [verb] means ‘go quickly’;
Spawn [verb] ‘(of a fish, frog, mollusk, crustacean, etc) release or deposit eggs; produce (offspring)’;
The words ‘zapped’ and ‘spawned’ are irrelevant to the context of the sentences.
It makes more sense that the surrendered militants were arrested.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
Question : 13
Former PM Manmohan Singh has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the historic Teen Murti complex, ___________ to the memory of Jawaharlal Nehru, should be left undisturbed. It comes in the wake of reports that the Modi government wants to create a museum ___________ to all Prime Ministers in the Teen Murti complex. Even his political rivals ___________ their reverence to his distinctiveness and greatness, said Dr. Singh.
a) posited
b) dedicated
c) belonged
d) imprinted
e) altered
Answer »Answer: (b)
Posit [verb] means ‘to put forward as a fact or as a basis for argument’. The meaning of the word is irrelevant in the context of the given blanks.
Similarly, the meaning of the words ‘belonged’, ‘imprinted’ and ‘altered’ is irrelevant in the context of the given blanks.
The Teen Murti Complex should be ‘attributed’ to Nehru Ji.
The meaning of the word ‘dedicated’ is closer to the meaning of the word ‘attributed’.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
Question : 14
Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice Dipak Misra on Sunday called upon law students to engage in the practice of ‘cause lawyering’ and develop the idea of serviceability to law by taking up pro bono cases to protect human ______________, _____ of individuals and _______________ of under-privileged.
a) succor
b) travesty
c) equanimity
d) deluge
e) rights
Answer »Answer: (e)
Succor [noun] means ‘assistance and support in times of hardships and distress’;
Travesty [noun] means ‘something that fails to represent the values and qualities that it is intended to represent, in a way that is shocking or offensive’;
Equanimity [noun] means ‘calmness and composure, especially in a difficult situation’;
Deluge [noun] means ‘a severe flood’;
The words succor, travesty, equanimity and deluge are irrelevant in the context of the blanks.
There is something called ‘rights of humans, rights of individuals, and rights of under-privileged;
The word ‘rights’ correctly fits the blank.
Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.
Question : 15
