1-C

Statement C has to be the opening sentence as it

provides the background to the rest of the discussion.

There is also a link between statements A and D.

2- A

Statements E and C form a mandatory pair and have to

come together. But the deciding factor here is the

mandatory pair of (D-A). Both statements talk about

continuity. “…the policy landscape looks mostly the

way it did over the last few decades…” in D and

“We’re still a closely divided nation…” in A.

3- B

The correct usage should have been ‘close in on’. It

means ‘To advance on a target so as to block escape

4- D

Option (a) is incorrect as it traces the history of the

idea. Option (b) is incorrect as it brings in the ideas of

universe, intellect and immaterial entity of which there

are no references in the paragraph. Option (c) again

brings in a new perspective (Aristotle) so it is not

appropriate. Option (d) is the correct answer as it

carries forward the contrast between the mind and

the body.

5- A

Option (a) is correct as it logically takes forward the

idea of the change in phraseology used at the Oscars.

Option (b) is eliminated as it focuses on the officials

responsible for making the change and not the change

itself. Option (c) is irrelevant as the “decision for the

producers” has no reference in the paragraph. Option

(d) talks about the earlier format “the Oscar goes to”

and hence is inappropriate.

6 - A

The paragraph discusses society’s outrage towards

terror attacks. Option (a) is a logical conclusion to the

argument .The paragraph is general in nature. Hence

option (b) and (c) can be eliminated as they talk about

retaliation. Option (d) can be eliminated as it describes

a positive fallout of terror attacks which is contradictory

to tone of the passage.

7 - D

Statement A has a subject verb agreement error. It

should be ‘one of Britain’s best known artists’.

Statement D is incorrect. The entire paragraph is in the

past tense therefore statement D should also be in the

same tense as it continues the same idea.

8 - C

Statement A has a subject verb agreement error. It

should be ‘one of Britain’s best known artists’.

Statement D is incorrect. The entire paragraph is in the

past tense therefore statement D should also be in the

same tense as it continues the same idea
