Solutions

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. Participants is the correct option to be replaced as the paragraph is about women involving themselves in freedom struggle.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. Emblematic is the correct word as it has been mentioned that these women took part in the freedom struggle and hence they are symbolic of freedom struggle.

S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. “involvement” is the correct word replacement as it means the fact or condition of being involved with or participating in something.
Intricacy means very complicated or detailed.
Ramification means a complex or unwelcome consequence of an action or event.

S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. “inspired” is the correct word in context of its usage in the sentence. So it doesn’t require any improvement.

S5. Ans. (a)
Sol. “Mahatma Gandhi has made his own political strategy of non-violent non-cooperation” makes the correct phrase in terms of adding meaning to the sentence. Hence ‘strategy” is the correct word replacement.

S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. Notion means a conception of or belief about something. Hence it makes a better sense in context of adding meaning to the sentence.

S7. Ans. (e)
Sol. “expectations” is the correct word in terms of its meaning and usage. So it doesn’t require any correction.

S8. Ans. (c)
Sol. ‘must’ is the correct verb to make the sentence grammatically correct.

S9. Ans. (d)
Sol. “circumstances” is the correct word replacement as it means a fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action. Moreover, “social and economic” in the sentence suggests that the noun it defines should be in plural number. Hence (d) is the correct option.
Coherence means the quality of being logical and consistent.

S10. Ans. (b)
Sol. “encapsulate” is the correct word replacement as it means express the essential features of (something) succinctly.
Coagulate means cause to change.
Rehash means to reuse.

S11. Ans. (b)
Sol. “have come down with the increased” is the correct phrase to make the sentence grammatically correct as the sentence is in Present Tense. It is to be noticed that the speed of trucks can’t be decreased as it is clearly mentioned that the highways have become clutter-free. Also, the phrasal verb “come down” means collapse or be demolished. Hence (b) is the correct option.

S12. Ans. (a)
Sol. “is the most effective way of staying” is the correct phrase to make the sentence grammatically correct as the sentence is in generalized and factual form. Thus the use of “could” or “can” is incorrect in this case. Moreover, the phrases connected with the conjunction “and” should be in similar form. Hence among the given options, only option (a) has the correct grammar structure to correctly fit into the sentence.

S13. Ans. (c)
Sol. “grew up in free India bearing the names of” is the correct phrase to make the sentence grammatically correct as the sentence refers to the event related to the past. If we go by options, options (a), (b) and (d) are not in accordance with correct grammar structure. Only option (c) possesses correct syntax to supplement its usage in the sentence. The phrasal verb “grew up” means became an adult.

S14. Ans. (e)
Sol. The given sentence is grammatically correct. It is to be noted that the sentence is not conditional and thus all the given options are incorrect.

S15. Ans. (d)
Sol. “apart from various goodies being dangled” is the correct phrase to make the sentence grammatically correct. Options (b) and (c) can be easily eliminated as they lack the correct syntaxes and similarly option (a) as the sentence is not conditional. Option (d) fits into the sentence quite correctly as it adds meaning to the sentence. The phrasal verb “apart from” means in addition to; as well as. Hence (d) is the correct option.
