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

Directions:

Pick out the most effective word or group of words from the given options to fill in the blank and make the sentence meaningfully complete.

Question :11

You may wonder how the expert on fossil remains is able to trace descent through teeth, which seem _________ pegs upon which to hang whole ancestries.

Answer: (b)

The word 'wonder' implies that 'teeth' seem an 'inadequate' basis on which to draw conclusions.

Question :12

A leader has the capacity to influence others, ________ expectations and establish specific desire which determine the direction a business takes.

Answer: (c)

'Evoke' is to 'draw forth' or 'produce' whereas 'develop' refers to 'grow or expand'. With respect to the sentence, expectations of others already exist so that they can only be 'evoked', and not 'developed', by a leader.

Question :13

I don't know where he is but I could ________ a guess.

Answer: (d)

'Hazard' (v.) is to offer a statement or guess with the possibility of facing criticism, disapproval or failure. One always 'hazards a guess' though use of the word 'attempt' here would not be incorrect.

Question :14

She had been ill but now she is back in _________

Answer: (d)

'In circulation' means participating actively in social or business life.

Question :15

The manager was able to see that the ________ visitor was carrying a gun.

Answer: (b)

'Eminent' means 'distinguished' or 'prominent'. 'Imminent' means 'likely to occur at any moment' or 'impending'. 'Imminent visitor' would be a guest about to arrive. But then, 'imminent' cannot suit this sentence where apparently the guest has already arrived. So option (b) is correct. Words 'immenent' and 'imenant' do not exist.
