1-1
3-B makes a correct match. It is the easiest to identify in the
given set. This leaves us with two options (1) and (2). Even
4-A is an easy pair to identify. This leads us to the correct
answer option.
2- 2
4-A is the easiest match to identify from the given set. This
leaves us with two options (1) and (2). On analysing further,
one can easily eliminate (1) in favour of (2) after identifying
the pair 3-D.
3- 1
4-C is the match which is easiest to identify. It leaves us with
two options (1) and (2). On a careful analysis of the remaining
pairs, one can easily choose (1) over option (2) by identifying
2-A as the matching pair.
4 - 3
The phrase ‘scripted… of 2001’ refers to an entity which has
been scripted. Hence the phrase cannot modify the writer as
it seems to do in option (1). In option (2), the phrase incorrectly
modifies ‘the Booker prize’. Logically, the novel would have
been scripted and not the Booker prize. In option (4), the
phrase again incorrectly modifies ‘The writer’. In option (3),
the phrase correctly modifies ‘The Novel’.
5- 2
The given sentence has a two part structure, one starting
with ‘listening’ and the other which talks about poetry. The
correct option will be one in which the two parts of the
sentence are parallel. In option (1), the second part starts
with Caldo’s poetry which is not parallel to the earlier part
which starts with a verb+ing-‘listening’. In Option (3), there is
no need to start the sentence with ‘so’. The phrase ‘just as’
applies equally to both sentence parts, hence starting the
sentence with ‘reading’ would have sufficed. Option (4)
correctly starts the sentence part with ‘reading’. But the first
part of the original sentence ends in a noun, whose meaning
is extended by a phrase. i.e “…..to harmony in the 1840’s, a
period bubbling with melodic musicians,”. This construction is
not followed by option (4).
6 - 4
In the given sentence, the time reference is to a future eventtaking
oath next year. The correct sense of the sentence can
be attained only by emphasizing the completeness of the
actions i.e. by using the future perfect tense for all the actions.
Option (1) incorrectly uses the simple future tense for the
actions of Nicholas and Paul. Option (2) uses ‘will’ instead of
‘would’ alongwith a mixture of simple and continuous future
tenses. Option (3) suffers from the error of parallelism as
also from the use of an incorrect tense structure. The second
action of Nicholas–‘surpassing’ as also Paul’s ‘will complete’
have to be in future perfect tense to denote the completion of
the actions in future.
7 -3
The opening sentence talks of the moon being an object of
interest to the human beings. The first sentence also mentions
that the moon is ‘remote and alien’. Now if we look for a
sentence that would follow the opening sentence, we are
clear that it should talk more about the moon. On examining
sentence D, we can easily identify the connection of the
personal pronoun ‘it’ to the moon; further the sentence also
elaborates on the imagination of the humans with respect to
the moon, this suitably relates to the aspect of the moon being
‘remote and alien’. Sentence B gives a contrast to the human
imagination mentioned in D, which talks of the moon being
perceived by the humans as a ‘place of absence’. Therefore
B would follow D. C further highlights the ‘unearthly beauty’
mentioned in B, when viewed by a human-eye through a
powerful pair of binoculars. A talks about ‘the beauty of such
a moment’, which refers to the ‘captivating vision’ of the moon
that the viewer gets through binoculars on a clear night as
described in statement C. Also, in A the words ‘the viewer’s
capacity’ relate to the people using binoculars, thus making
CA the mandatory pair. In Sentence A the words ‘instead with
the viewer’s capacity to appreciate’ relates to ‘experience a
kind of euphoria’ in the last sentence-6, which is fixed. This
gives us the sequence DBCA.
8 - 3
The opening sentence talks of the European Sanskrit scholars
taking up Sanskrit studies more out of fascination for the
subject rather than exhibiting a critical ability for the same. On
scrutinizing the sentences to supplement as a continuing
statement we can pick up B as ‘they knew a little’ clearly
justifies the opening statement. Statement A aptly follows B as
it talks of the fanciful notions ascribed to Shakuntala being
the high watermark of Indian philosophy. Statement D continues
the discussion further. It validates the author’s criticism of the
treatement accorded towards Sanskrit by the Europeans; it
brings to the fore another brand of people, ‘the superficial
critics’ who went on to ‘ridicule everything from the East’. DC
is a mandatory pair as ‘these’ in C refers to the ‘critics’
mentioned in D. Moreover, C continues the idea mentioned in
D. Thus, BADC is the correct sequence.
9 - 1
The opening sentence talks about the ancestary of FitzGerald.
Sentence A establishes the claim of FitzGerald being a dilettante
made in the opening sentence. In sentence B, Edward Said’s
statement ‘such interests directed scholarships’ refers to the
‘translations’ mentioned in sentence A. This makes AB a
mandatory pair. Sentence C follows B as the various
professions mentioned in C refer to the word ‘scholars’ already
mentioned in B. CD again becomes a mandatory pair as the
words ‘in this’ mentioned in D refers to the movement of coeterie
of various learned people alongwith the army to the Middle
East. Moreover, the ‘he’ in sentence 6 refers to FitzGerald
mentioned in sentence D; the last sentence also reveals the
true interests of FitzGerald.
