1- C
Sentence B talks about an idea that was once thought
to be correct. Sentence D presents the present stream
of thought which is different from the original idea as
presented in B. Hence BD is a mandatory pair and ‘but’
in D is a good clue. Sentence D is followed by sentence
A as the latter states the new observations mentioned
in sentence D. In sentence C, the clue is ‘the star’
already referred to in sentence A as ‘blue stars’.
Sentence E is the concluding sentence.
2- A
The strongest clue here is AE, which is a mandatory
pair. Sentence A mentions ‘reform’ and sentence E
refers to the same as ‘the reform’. Using elimination
one can easily arrive at option (a) being the right
answer. Also, sentence C is a generalized sentence
hence it should come at the beginning of the paragraph.
CB is also a mandatory pair as ‘them’ in sentence B
refers to ‘revolutions’ in sentence C
3 - C
(a) Ease back- move slowly or with less commitment
(b) Ease off-become less severe or intense.
Option (c) is wrong. The expression should be “eased
off”. “Eased in” means to move in gently and carefullyyou
ease in behind the wheel of a car.
(d)Ease up means (here) become less pressing or
urgent.
(e)Ease off means (informally) do something less
intensely.
4 - B
Chipped away means to make weak gradually.
Chipped off is wrong. Chipped away, which means to
break small pieces off something, is the correct
expression.
5 - B
Syncretic means uniting and blending together
different systems, as of philosophy, morals, or religion.
6 - A
The sentence discusses the author’s contemplation
of the effects of the debate that is being driven by the
Scottish nationalists. Keeping this context in mind, the
second blank can be filled only by ‘contemplated’.
Hence, (a) is the right answer.
7-B
Definitive (of a conclusion or agreement) means
decisive and with an authority. Equitable means just or
fair or marked by principles of fairness or equity.
Esoteric means secret or known only to a few people.
Luxuriant means growing in abundance.
8 - A
Palette-a range, quality or use of available
elements.(palette is also the name of an artist’s mixing
board). Bathos-insincere pathos; sentimentality;
mawkishness. Meretricious-flashy, gaudy, spurious.
Unequivocally means clearly and without doubt.
9 - A
The paragraph discusses the history of zero and how
it came into use. Once the idea of decimal based place
value came into existence, zero became popular. It
was on a roll. Hence option (a) is correct. (c), which
is a close option, can’t be the answer as the pairing of
zero with the numeral 1 gets discussed in the second
line of the paragraph.
10 - A
The last sentence of the paragraph is about how,
apart from the author, there were ‘hundreds of other
children’, who were going through the same ordeal.
Their approach to the ordeal was one of patience.
They were coping with it as best as they could. In
such a context option (a), which describes the children
silently accepting their fate and not asking any
questions comes across as the best answer. Also,
the ‘they’ in this option has an antecedent in the
‘children’.
