double fillers Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ssc chsl tier 1

Directions:

In each of the sentences given in 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 as a whole.

Question :11

The increasing revival of dramatic classics is, to one critic, ________; it seems to him a sign of the ________ of the modern theatre.

Answer: (d)

'Incomprehensible' here means 'impossible to be understood'. A 'paradox' is something self- contradictory and not easily explained that nevertheless relates to a truth. Even options (b) and (d) are not wrong if used here; however, option (c) is the best ('a sign of the anaemia of the modern theatre' does not read well, for instance).

Question :12

The construction of the hall has been ________ because of the ________ of cement in the market.

Answer: (d)

To 'hamper' is to 'hold back or impede'. It is not the same as 'prevent' [option (d)] which means 'stop'. 'Held' [option (a)] cannot fit the first blank (it should be 'held back' or 'held up'). Only option (c) fits the blanks completely.

Question :13

He is ________ to ________ any kind of work with due sincerity.

Answer: (d)

Question :14

The children explored the ________ pleasures of the garden which, lush and colourful, was a ________ to the sight.

Answer: (d)

Question :15

Charlie Chaplin could create an amazing kind of comedy seeped in ________ that drew tears even as it ________ laughter.

Answer: (d)

'Pathos' is 'the quality or power in life or art of evoking a feeling of pity or compassion'. It is different from 'bathos' meaning 'a ludicrous descent from the exalted or lofty to the commonplace'.
