1Read the passage: 'India's renewable energy capacity crossed 200 GW in 2024, with solar contributing nearly half. While the growth has been impressive, integration challenges remain — grid stability, storage, and land acquisition continue to slow the pace at which intermittent renewable sources can displace coal.' What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Renewable growth in India is strong but constrained by integration challenges
B.Solar power has fully replaced coal in India
C.India crossed 200 GW of solar capacity in 2024
D.Coal will continue to dominate Indian electricity generation
Explanation: The passage acknowledges impressive growth ('200 GW', 'solar nearly half') but emphasises that 'integration challenges remain', listing specific obstacles. The main idea balances progress with constraints.
2In the passage above, the word 'intermittent' most nearly means:
A.Occurring at irregular intervals
B.Continuous and reliable
C.Expensive to produce
D.Government-subsidised
Explanation: Intermittent describes something that starts and stops at irregular intervals. Solar and wind are called intermittent because they generate only when the sun shines or wind blows, requiring storage to firm up output.
3Choose the option that best replaces the underlined portion: 'Neither the students nor the teacher _____ ready for the surprise inspection.'
A.was
B.were
C.have been
D.are
Explanation: With 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the noun nearest to it. 'Teacher' is singular, so the verb must be singular: 'was'.
4Identify the sentence with correct use of 'affect' and 'effect':
A.The new policy will affect millions and its effect on inflation is unclear.
B.The new policy will effect millions and its affect on inflation is unclear.
C.The new policy will affect millions and its affect on inflation is unclear.
D.The new policy will effect millions and its effect on inflation is unclear.
Explanation: 'Affect' is typically a verb meaning to influence; 'effect' is typically a noun meaning a result. The policy will (verb) affect millions, and its (noun) effect on inflation is unclear.
5Choose the synonym of 'ubiquitous':
A.Omnipresent
B.Rare
C.Ancient
D.Mysterious
Explanation: Ubiquitous means present, appearing or found everywhere. Omnipresent is the closest synonym (omni = all, present = present).
6Choose the antonym of 'mitigate':
A.Aggravate
B.Reduce
C.Soothe
D.Lessen
Explanation: Mitigate means to make less severe. Its antonym is 'aggravate', which means to make worse. The other options are synonyms of mitigate.
7Which sentence is grammatically correct?
A.Each of the candidates has submitted his or her application.
B.Each of the candidates have submitted their application.
C.Each of the candidates are submitting their application.
D.Each of the candidates were submitting their application.
Explanation: 'Each' is a singular pronoun and takes a singular verb ('has') and a singular pronoun reference ('his or her'). 'Of the candidates' is a prepositional phrase that does not change the subject's number.
8Arrange the following sentences in the correct order to form a coherent paragraph: P. This is largely due to monsoon variability and climate change. Q. Indian agriculture remains heavily dependent on rainfall. R. Roughly 60% of net sown area is rainfed. S. Yields therefore swing sharply year to year.
A.QRPS
B.PQRS
C.RQPS
D.SQRP
Explanation: Q introduces the topic (dependence on rainfall). R gives the statistic. P explains the cause. S draws the consequence. The sequence is Q-R-P-S.
9Read the passage: 'Despite growing global condemnation, the practice of child marriage persists in parts of South Asia. UNICEF estimates that nearly half of all child brides worldwide live in this region. Eradication will demand not just stronger laws, but sustained investment in girls' education and economic opportunity.' The author's tone is best described as:
A.Concerned and prescriptive
B.Celebratory
C.Sarcastic
D.Indifferent
Explanation: The author expresses concern ('persists', 'condemnation') and prescribes action ('will demand...stronger laws, sustained investment'). The tone is concerned and prescriptive.
10Identify the sentence with a misplaced modifier:
A.Walking down the street, the trees seemed taller than usual.
B.Walking down the street, I noticed the trees seemed taller than usual.
C.While I was walking down the street, the trees seemed taller than usual.
D.The trees seemed taller than usual when I walked down the street.
Explanation: The modifier 'walking down the street' should describe a person, not trees. As written, option A implies the trees were walking. The other options correctly attach the action to 'I'.

CLAT UG: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read editorials from The Hindu and Indian Express daily — passages and current-affairs questions draw from this style of writing
2Practice timed sectional mocks: comprehension speed is the single biggest differentiator on the actual test
3Build a current-affairs notebook from January 2025 onward — questions are usually within a 12-month window of the exam
4Master the negative-marking arithmetic — guess only when you can eliminate at least two options
5Use official Consortium sample papers first; they set the authentic difficulty and passage style
