Solutions
S1. Ans. (e)
Sol. All the given three expressions can be used in the place of the highlighted part without altering the intended meaning of the sentence. Moreover, all the three expressions follow the correct grammar structure and thus they make the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.
S2. Ans. (c)
Sol. Among the given three alternatives, both (I) and (II) give the similar meaning to the sentence without altering the intended meaning of it. Moreover, both the expressions are grammatically correct. However, the third expression cannot be used in the sentence as it is to be noted that the sentence is conditional and the first half of the sentence is complemented by the latter half to make a meaningful sense. In the case of third expression, it lacks a proper connector (conjunction) to connect with the latter half and make the sentence meaningful. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
S3. Ans. (c)
Sol. Among the given alternatives, only the first expression can be used in the place of existing highlighted part without altering the intended meaning of the sentence. The other two expressions do not fit into the structure of the sentence as both the expressions lack the viability of a proper subject which can be viewed by use of the verb “is” in the latter part of the sentence. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
S4. Ans. (a)
Sol. Among the given alternatives, both the expressions (II) and (III) can be used in the place of existing highlighted part without altering the intended meaning of the sentence. Thus, the expressions (II) and (III) are both grammatically and contextually correct. However, the first expression cannot be used in this context as it alters the exact meaning of the sentence. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.
S5. Ans. (d)
Sol. Among the given alternatives, only the first expression can be used in the place of highlighted portion without altering the intended meaning of the sentence. The expression is both grammatically and contextually correct. However, the other two expressions cannot be used in the statement as they do not give the exact meaning to the sentence as required. Moreover, they do not make the sentence meaningful. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.
