'Tremulous' is 'characterised by trembling' (of voice, lips, etc.) 'Tremorful' is not used.

Question :20

The returns have to be sent to the chief on ________ Saturdays.

Answer: (c)

'Alternate' (adj.) would mean 'every second one of a series'. 'Alternate' should not be confused with 'alternative' (adj.) i.e., 'affording a choice between two or more things' or 'one of a pair of choices or one of a set of possibilities'.

'Every' and 'each' would also suit the meaning of the given sentence but in that case the word following them should be 'Saturday', not 'Saturdays' (in singular and not plural).
