SOLUTIONS:


For the question (1-5): the
correct sequence is DBFECA


S1. Ans. (d)

Sol. Sentence (D) should be the first sentence as it gives
the introduction of the passage i.e., corruption in Afghanistan and the main
source of its derivation. With reference to that, sentence (B) provided
criticism from the British Prime minister by calling the country as
“fantastically corrupt”, thus making it the second sentence in this
rearrangement. Sentence (F) shows the actual transition of aid that happens in
this corrupt nation and following that sentence (E) further emphasizes the
occurrence using the citation of a noted development economist. The industry
where corruption is mostly prevalent is mentioned in sentence (C). However,
sentence (A) expanded corruption’s occurrence by mentioning other sectors,
hence making it the concluding sentence in this rearrangement.

source of its derivation. With reference to that, sentence (B) provided
criticism from the British Prime minister by calling the country as
“fantastically corrupt”, thus making it the second sentence in this

sentence (A) expanded corruption’s occurrence by mentioning other sectors,
hence making it the concluding sentence in this rearrangement.  
the correct sequence is DBFECA

S6. Ans.  (a)

Sol.
 Option
(a) is eliminated here as the subject of sentence is singular so singular verb
is needed.                  Atone- to
compensate, to pay, indemnify                                                                             Cover- to protect                                                                                                            So,
All options are synonyms to one another but Option (b) would be most
appropriate here as           ‘insurance
cover’ is commonly used phrase.


S7.
Ans. (d) 

Sol. Options (a) & (e) are eliminated
here as it doesn’t make any sense here.                                                And
option (b) & (c) both are followed by a preposition                                                                    Hence,
Option (d) is the right answer


S8. Ans.  (a)

Sol.
 Demand,
Firm and Register are the steps which are taken after the intimation (to
inform). Intimate the claim is the very first step in the process of insurance.
Hence Option (a) is the correct answer here.


S9.
Ans. (a) 

Sol.
Towing-pull a vehicle along with a rope                                                                                         Hoisting-to
raise a vehicle with a rope                                                                                     Booting-kick hard in a
specific direction                                                                                     So,
option (c) & (d) are eliminated but on comparing option (a), (b) and (e),
Option (a) is the                 word
which suits to the tone of the passage. Hence, it is the answer of the
question.


S10. Ans. (b)

Sol. According to the passage, Insurance of
vehicles can be claimed on furnishing documents of                  the repairs. So, ‘Authorized’ is the appropriate
word which fills the blank correctly.


S11.
Ans. (c)
         

Sol.
Expedite- make a process happen sooner or more quickly
                                                              Accelerates-to
make process fast; but it is grammatically incorrect (‘accelerate’ would be the
           right word). On comparison of ‘hurry’
and ‘expedite’, the latter is more appropriately fills the
                 blank.


S12.
Ans. (e)

Sol.
There must be same form of verb and preposition at both sides of conjunction
‘and’. So, the           blank would be
only filled with option (e).


S13.
Ans. (a)

Sol.
Assess- to evaluate or estimate the nature or quality of something; to gauge                                         Recoup-regain
something which is lost                                                                                        Here, the loss is
first assessed whether it is actually happened or it is fabricated. So, option
(d)                is eliminated. Other
options don’t make sense here. Hence option (a) is the right answer.      


S14.
Ans. (c)

Sol.
Submit-to furnish, to provide                                                                                              Option
(d) would have been the answer if it were in first form of verb. So, option (c)
fills the                      blank
correctly.


S15.
Ans. (b)

Sol.
Option (a) is incorrect because it is used with first person pronoun.                                                Also,
‘his’ is possessive case for singular pronoun but the word ‘insurers’  is plural                       Hence,
option (b) is the right answer.

 

 

       S16.Ans.(a)

     Sol. Replace ‘behind its back’ with ‘in his
absence’.


     S17.Ans.(c)

     Sol. Replace ‘come forward for helping him’ with ‘comes
forward to help him’ which makes the sentence structure grammatically correct.


     S18.Ans.(e)

    Sol. The sentence is correct.

            

    S19.Ans.(c)

     Sol. ‘bought in an’ is the correct use.


      S20.Ans.(d)

     Sol. It should be ‘have always been’. The
subject of sentence is plural.
