double fillers Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps clerk prelims

Directions:

In each of these questions, there are two blanks indicating that something has been omitted. There are five alternatives given. Choose the one that best fits the meaning of the sentence or sentences as a whole.

Question :21

Vivekananda remained a devoted pupil and would often ________, with some fondness, his master's guiding hand that ________ him through life and destiny.

Answer: (c)

To 'recount' is to 'relate or narrate'; 'recount' and 'narrate' both suit the first blank. But only 'steered' (guiding or directing) suits the second blank

Question :22

In the role of a counsellor, you are an authoritative figure whose objective is to ________ attentively and sensitively to employees who ________ you with their feelings.

Answer: (d)

Only option (c) will suit the two blanks. 'Concentrate' should be followed by 'upon' and not 'to'; 'consider' (v. transitive) should be followed by a noun or pronoun (consider what or whom?)

Question :23

Some people have a ________ need to control all aspects of their lives and to eliminate all ________ of chance. These individuals seldom achieve a sense of fulfilment.

Answer: (b)

Question :24

Statistics is an ________ tool for researchers that ________ them to make inference of generalisations about population for their observations of the characteristics of samples.

Answer: (e)

'Indispensable' means 'absolutely necessary'; to 'enable' is 'to make possible or able'. Though 'outstanding', 'invaluable', and 'important' will suit the first blank, only 'enables' of option (e) will fit the second blank.

Question :25

"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel," says Johnson. In the modern world where the cunning, selfish people ________ and the hard-working, conscientious people ________, the quotation holds good.

Answer: (a)

'Dominate' (a) will suit the first blank but 'suppress' will not fit the second blank ('are suppressed' will). 'Harass' (e) will suit the statement but 'abdicate' cannot, as 'abdicate' should be followed by a noun ( abdicate rights, abdicate the throne, etc.) Likewise, in (c), 'enjoy' will suit the first blank but then it should be 'are mutilated' in the second blank ('mutilated', even then, is a very strong word in this context).
