1Choose the word that is most nearly synonymous with the word in bold: 'She was known for her **amiable** nature, making friends wherever she went.'
A.Friendly and pleasant
B.Proud and arrogant
C.Shy and reserved
D.Hostile and aggressive
Explanation: The word 'amiable' means having or displaying a friendly and pleasant manner. Therefore, 'Friendly and pleasant' is the correct synonym.
2Choose the correct antonym for the word **ephemeral**.
A.Short-lived
B.Permanent
C.Mysterious
D.Weak
Explanation: 'Ephemeral' means lasting for a very short time. The opposite or antonym is 'permanent' (lasting or intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely).
3Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb: 'Neither the manager nor the employees ________ present at the meeting yesterday.'
A.was
B.were
C.is
D.are
Explanation: According to subject-verb agreement rules, when two subjects are joined by 'neither... nor', the verb agrees with the closer subject. Since 'employees' is plural and the sentence is in the past tense ('yesterday'), 'were' is the correct verb form.
4What is the meaning of the idiom 'Bite the bullet'?
A.To eat something very hard
B.To face a difficult situation with courage
C.To act in a cowardly manner
D.To initiate a physical fight
Explanation: To 'bite the bullet' is an idiom that means to face a difficult, painful, or unavoidable situation with courage and fortitude, often because it cannot be avoided.
5Identify the one-word substitute for: 'A person who is indifferent to pain and pleasure of life.'
A.Stoic
B.Sadist
C.Epicure
D.Skeptic
Explanation: A 'stoic' is a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining, representing indifference to both pleasure and pain.
6Fill in the blank with the appropriate preposition: 'The teacher congratulated Ravi ________ his brilliant success in the examinations.'
A.for
B.on
C.at
D.about
Explanation: The verb 'congratulate' is standardly followed by the preposition 'on' (congratulate someone on something).
7Choose the correctly spelled word from the options below.
A.Occurence
B.Occurrence
C.Ocurrence
D.Occurrance
Explanation: The correct spelling is 'Occurrence', with double 'c', double 'r', and ending in '-ence'.
8Identify the part of speech of the underlined word: 'The dancer performed **exceptionally** well.'
A.Adjective
B.Adverb
C.Noun
D.Verb
Explanation: The word 'exceptionally' modifies the adverb 'well', which in turn modifies the verb 'performed'. Words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs are adverbs.
9Change the following sentence into passive voice: 'The chef prepared a delicious meal.'
A.A delicious meal was prepared by the chef.
B.A delicious meal is prepared by the chef.
C.A delicious meal has been prepared by the chef.
D.A delicious meal prepared by the chef.
Explanation: The active sentence is in the simple past tense ('prepared'). To change it to passive, we use 'was/were' + past participle ('prepared'). Thus, 'A delicious meal was prepared by the chef' is correct.
10Identify the error in the sentence: 'Every one of the books are on the table.'
A.Every one
B.of the
C.are
D.on the table
Explanation: The subject 'Every one' is singular, so it requires a singular verb. 'are' should be replaced by 'is'.
