SOLUTIONS: 

   

 

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. The conjunction “UNLESS” means except if (used to introduce the case in which a statement being made is not true or valid). The word can be used to connect only the sentences (B) and (D) to produce a coherent sentence. Other combinations accordingly give incorrect impressions to the sentences so formed.
Losing control over generation and flow of currency threatens the sovereignty of a country, unless the sovereign decides to adopt cryptocurrency as an official medium of exchange.”

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. The conjunction “BUT” means without it being the case that. The word can be used to connect two different sentences with the given combinations; both being coherently correct.
Many private and government-aided schools already follow the policy that emphasize ‘gatekeeping’, but it must now be made compulsory for all.”

S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. The conjunction “BECAUSE” infers for the reason that; since. The word can be used to connect only the sentences (D) and (C) to produce a coherent statement. Other combinations, though, can be used to frame sentences, they would be contextually incorrect.
The next World Development Report (WDR) looked at conflict and security as fragile states that continue to fail because weak institutions cannot cope with the combined stresses of conflict, security, corruption, justice and jobs.”

S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. The verb “condemned” in part (b) of the sentence should be replaced by “condemning” as the use of the verb “acknowledging” in the highlighted part of the sentence suggests that both the verbs refer to the same subject and thus they should follow the same form to validate the subject-verb agreement. Other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct to provide a contextual meaning to the sentence. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.

S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. There is an error in part (c) of the sentence. The phrase “has somehow had a scarce” should be replaced by “has somehow been a scarce” as the former part of the sentence suggests that the sentence follows the Present Perfect Continuous Tense, though in the passive form. Moreover, the use of the verb “has had” is incorrect in the context of the meaning of the sentence. Other parts of the sentence do not require any correction. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.

S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. ‘quest/ pursuit’ is the correct choice that means a long or arduous search for something.

S7. Ans. (a)
Sol. ‘request/ behest’ is the correct choice to be made.

Sol. ‘contribute/ accord’ best suits the purpose.

Sol. Option (d) best suits the purpose.
