1-B


There are two clues to solve this question. The first is

the mandatory pair (A-B). Statement B has to come

immediately after statement A as B is the response of

the Labour party to the “row about the legitimacy….”

mentioned in A. This leaves us with options (b) and

(d). Here the difference is in the order of statements D

& E. (D-E) would be the correct order as statement D

introduces the event while statement E begins the

description of the events that followed. Statement E

also matches the tone of statement C.



2-  C


The paragraph has a mandatory pair (D-B) as B carries

further the idea of opening of the cages, which gets

introduced in D. (C-A) is another mandatory pair.

Statement C compares India’s performance on social

indicators with that of Asian economies. Statement A

further compares India’s performance with that of poor

African countries. Only options (c) and (d) have both

mandatory pairs. Option (d) gets negated as the

paragraph must start with C, which introduces the

para. Option (c) aligns all the statements of the

paragraph thereby making it coherent.


3- B 


Statement C clearly emerges as an introductory

sentence “an episode regarding the….”. (A-E) is a

mandatory pair as in statement E Akbar gives reasons

to refute Hakim Ali’s argument. The only possible

answer choice is (b).



4- C


The paragraph describes the reaction of the west

towards the assassination. The tone of the passage

seems to be justifying this reaction. Thus (c) is the

best answer as it provides the conclusion the argument

on why assassinations are not viewed with shock or

horror.



5 - B


The theme of the paragraph is the dependence of

women on their male counterparts and option (b) takes

forward the idea of women deciding to own a house

and free themselves. Options (a) and (d) although

related describe how this change is not restricted to a

particular class of women and hence cannot come

directly after the paragraph given. Option (c) is

inconsistent with the theme, as the focus here seems

to be more on possession and not on their need for

independence.



6 - D 


The paragraph talks about a revolution and gives

examples where the internet and social networking

sites have been used. Option (d) takes it forward by

giving yet another example on the same lines.



7 - C


The correct phrase should have been “lay siege to”

the city. ‘Lay siege to’ means ‘to besiege




8 - D


The correct phrase should have been “fall through the

cracks”. ‘fall through the cracks’ means ‘to be

overlooked’ or ‘to be neglected’.



9 - D


Statement B is the opening line of the paragraph.

(C-A) is a mandatory pair that describes the changes

or disintegration that did not affect the continent.

Statement D has to follow (C-A) as the “patch work

suggested by…..” is a reference to the changes in

(C-A).



10 - C


Statement 1 has a subject verb agreement error. The

Georgian windows in Bishop Terrick’s dining room

looks out on to the gardens of Fulham Palace. It

should be “look” as the subject of the sentence is the

Georgian windows. Statement 4 is incorrect as it

should be “they’re framed by clouds of wisteria”



11- A


Statement 1 should have an article “as a grown

man…..”. Statement 2 has inconsistency in tenses.

The correct statement should be “A storm blows up

and the surrounding countryside is cloaked in rain

and fog” .In statement 4 the correct preposition should

be “beside the road”. Besides means ‘in addition to’

which is inappropriate here
