Solutions

S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. ‘aware’ is the appropriate word for the blank as the paragraph talks about meditation which is being conscious of performing action through divinity.
S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. ‘action’ best suits the purpose as it is also used in above sentence.
S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. ‘performing’ best suits the purpose.
Contrive means create or bring about (an object or a situation) by deliberate use of skill and artifice.
S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘respect’ is the most appropriate word.
S5. Ans. (e)
Sol. No correction is required here.
S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. ‘thought’ best suits the purpose.
Perversity means a deliberate desire to behave in an unreasonable or unacceptable way.
Discretion means the quality of behaving or speaking in such a way as to avoid causing offence or revealing confidential information.
S7. Ans. (e)
Sol. No correction is required here.
S8. Ans. (b)
Sol. ‘studied’ is the most appropriate word.
Conceited means excessively proud of oneself, vain.
S9. Ans. (e)
Sol. No correction is required here.
S10. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘bliss’ best suits the purpose.

S11. Ans.(e)
Sol. Option (e) is correct as there is no need for correction in the given sentence. It seems that in statement (I) the adverb considerably is attempting to modify the noun currency. Consider replacing the adverb with an adjective. Statement (II) is incorrect due to the use of ‘which’ as the sentence seems incomplete. Statement (III) is also incorrect .

S12. Ans.(b)
Sol. Option (b) is incorrect as ‘none’ should be replaced with ‘neither’ as ‘none’ is used for more than two person or things and neither is used for two. Use of ‘either’ is also incorrect as when used as an adjective either means “one or the other of two people or things,” and neither means “not one or the other of two people or things.” In other words, neither means “not either”. So if we go by the context neither suits well. Statement (I) is also incorrect and makes the sentence grammatically incorrect

S13. Ans.(a)
Sol. Use ‘his’ in place of ‘their’. In this situation verb is singular and the pronoun or the possessive which is used for the subject is also singular.

S14. Ans.(d)
Sol. Option (d) is the correct choice as both the (II) and (III) statements can be substituted for ‘instead of’. Use of ‘instead of’ is incorrect as it makes the sentence illogical and contextually incorrect. ‘Except’ and ‘with the exception of’ are the examples of circumlocution which is the use of many words when one will do. Hence both can be substituted for each other.

S15. Ans.(b)
Sol. Use ‘that’ in place of ‘which’. When two antecedents are connected by ‘and’ if one of them is a person and other an object then we use ‘that’ as a relative pronoun. Therefore other options are incorrect.
