1- B
The options for the first blank are very close in
meaning. Clearly, there is something about the
publishers’ attitude that worries authors. This indicates
that we need a somewhat negative word for the
second blank. If the publishers are not publishing books
that do not ‘excite’ or ‘stimulate’ the market it does not
explain the writers’ concern. ‘Titillate’ which means ‘to
arouse, tease, interest, or excite pleasurably and often
superficially’ carries a negative connotation and fits
here. You can also take a clue from “not bold enough”.
2- A
This question essentially boils down to a choice
between options (a) and (d). Option (b) can be
eliminated, as ‘monitor’ would be idiomatically incorrect
in the first blank. Option (c) would also be incorrect,
as we need an adverb in the second blank and ‘stealthy’
is an adjective. The first word in both options (a) and
(d) can fit the first blank. However, in the second
blank, between ‘surreptitiously’ and ‘slyly’,
surreptitiously would be more appropriate as it means
‘by clandestine means or secretly’ whereas slyly also
carries the additional connotation of ‘cunningly’ which
is not indicated in the paragraph.
3 - D
Option (d) is the only one where the words fit the
sentences idiomatically.
4-D
The correct usage is ‘runaway inflation’.
5 - B
Since we are talking about a specific key, the correct
usage should have been ‘in the key of C major’.
6-C
Sentence A is incorrect as it has a subject-verb
agreement error. It should be “infection that leaves
people susceptible”. In statement B there should be an
article before “role in the disease”. Statement C is
similarly missing a determiner before ‘link‘, “study
suggests that this link is real”.
7 -B
Statement A is incorrect. ‘Bursted’ is an incorrect word.
It should be ‘burst’. Statement D is incomplete as it
needs a determiner before ‘headwind’. It should have
been ‘a strong headwind’.
8-A
Statement B begins the discussion on palliative care.
Statements D and E take the idea further by describing
what it includes. We can therefore narrow down
options to (a) and (c). They differ only with regard to
the placement of statement C. Statement C describes
‘Hospice care’, or intensive palliative care which might
include completely abandoning medical treatment.
Therefore, it cannot be put together with statements
D,E and A as they clearly include medical care.
9 - D
The crucial link to solve this parajumble is the pair (BA).
Statement B is clearly the opening sentence as it
introduces both the person (Welles) as well as the
place (Hollywood). That leaves us with options (a)
and (d). Statement A should come after statement B as
it begins the narrative “From the moment he arrived
there”. Therefore, BAECD is the correct order.
10 - B
Statements (C-E) and (A-B) form mandatory pairs.
Statements C and E describe the author’s opinion on
the use of colour. Statements A and B talk about Al
Hirschfeld and his artwork. Statement D should come
after statements (A-B) as it gives an example of the
‘spare’ artwork mentioned in B.
11- C
Statements (A-E) outline the objective – tackling
demand for drugs. Statements C, D and B describe
the example of Portugal where drug use has been
decriminalized.
