The correct answer is '2' i.e. as he has given up all his wealth .

Key Points 

• The incomplete statement "He has no money now _______" requires a filler that provides a logical and meaningful reason for his current lack of funds.
• Let's analyze each option:
• Option 1: "although he was very poor once" - This option creates a contrast between his past poverty and his current lack of money, but it doesn't explain why he has no money now. It suggests a continuation of a state rather than a reason.
• Option 2: "as he has given up all his wealth" - This option provides a direct and logical reason for his current lack of money. The conjunction "as" indicates causality, explaining that his present state is a consequence of his past action of relinquishing his wealth.
• Option 3: "because he has received a huge donation" - This option contradicts the initial statement. Receiving a huge donation would imply that he does have money now, not that he has no money.
• Option 4: "because he was very rich once" - This option presents a past state of wealth as a reason for his current lack of money. While it's possible to lose wealth, this option doesn't explicitly state the cause of his current poverty, making option 2 a more direct and meaningful explanation.
• Therefore, the best filler that completes the statement correctly and meaningfully is option 2, as it provides a clear cause for his present financial situation.

Correct sentence: He has no money now as he has given up all his wealth.

Additional Information 

• The conjunctions "as" and "because" are used to indicate cause or reason.
• The conjunction "although" is used to introduce a contrasting idea.
• When choosing a filler, it's important to consider the logical relationship between the incomplete statement and the potential completion.

Key Points

• The statement mentions that his behaviour is "unpredictable," which suggests that it is difficult to rely on him or trust him.
• Option 2 aligns with this idea, as it states that he "is seldom trusted by others."
• Other options do not logically or contextually fit with the idea of unpredictability described in the statement.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "never depends on others to get his work done" is unrelated to the idea of unpredictability.
• Option 3: "always insists on getting the work completed on time" does not align with the notion of unpredictability.
• Option 4: "seldom trusts others as far as the work schedule is concerned" shifts the focus to his trust in others, which is irrelevant to the statement's context.

Key Points

• The statement refers to an acute power shortage, prompting people to limit their use of electricity to situations where it is absolutely necessary.
• Option 1 ("resort to use of electricity for illumination") does not align with the idea of conserving electricity during a power shortage.
• Option 2 ("explore other avenues for utilising excess power") is irrelevant, as the context is about power shortage, not excess power.
• Option 4 ("dispense with non-conventional energy sources") contradicts the idea of conserving electricity, as non-conventional energy sources are generally alternatives to traditional ones.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "resort to use of electricity for illumination" assumes unnecessary usage of electricity, which is contrary to the need for conservation during a shortage.
• Option 2: "explore other avenues for utilising excess power" does not fit the context of a power shortage.
• Option 4: "dispense with non-conventional energy sources" implies rejecting alternatives, which is counterproductive in a power shortage scenario.

Key Points

• The sentence uses a past unreal conditional structure, indicated by "If I had gone to New Delhi."
• In past unreal conditionals, the correct form in the main clause is "could have + past participle."
• Option 2, "I could have seen the Qutub Minar," is grammatically correct in this context.
• Option 1, "I could see the Qutub Minar," is incorrect because it is not in the past unreal conditional format.
• Option 3, "I saw the Qutub Minar," is incorrect because it does not follow the conditional structure.
• Option 4, "I might see the Qutub Minar," is incorrect because it implies a future possibility, not a past unreal situation.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "I could see the Qutub Minar" is incorrect because it does not align with the past unreal conditional structure.
• Option 3: "I saw the Qutub Minar" is incorrect because it suggests an action that definitively happened, not a hypothetical situation.
• Option 4: "I might see the Qutub Minar" is incorrect because it refers to a future possibility rather than a past unreal condition.

Key Points

• The phrase "resort to use of electricity only when it is inevitable" means that due to the severe power shortage, the community will limit their use of electricity to essential situations only.
• This choice reflects a practical approach to managing limited resources.
• The other options do not address the issue of power shortage appropriately:
  • Option 1 suggests using more electricity, which contradicts the context of a shortage.
  • Option 2 does not directly address the need to limit electricity usage.
  • Option 4 suggests eliminating non-conventional energy sources, which is not relevant to the context of managing a power shortage.

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Complete Sentence: Owing to the acute power shortage, the people of our locality have decided to resort to use of electricity only when it is inevitable.

Additional Information

• Resort (सहारा लेना): means to turn to and adopt a strategy or course of action to resolve a difficult situation.
• Inevitable (अपरिहार्य): means certain to happen; unavoidable.

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 'of all on History'

Explanation
In the given sentence, 'Superlative degree' is used i.e. 'the best book' so, with superlative degrees always 'of all' and with 'of all' don't use 'others' because 'of all' means parts or of the same group.
Let's see an example:

• Mt Everest is the highest of all the peaks in the world.

So the correct sentence is: This is the best book of all on History.

The correct answer is 'warmth and show that politics need not just be'.

Key Points

• In the sentence, we see that the word personal needs a noun. 
• Here personal is an adjective, which is defining a noun. 
• So, the noun warmth is perfect to be used next to the adjective personal.
• "And show that politics need not just be" Here 'and' is a conjunction, adding more information to the sentence.
• The other options will be grammatically incorrect.
• The final and correct sentence is: Modi’s attempt to convey personal warmth and show that politics need not just be contentious is a good step.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 5.

The correct answer is option (2).

Key Points

• The first part of the sentence starts to talk about how the subject worries about the health of a certain someone. 
• All the options talk about the subjects father, but only the second option matches the context of the sentence by stating that his father is octogenarian (in his eighties) and thus, suffers from health ailments.

The correct answer is ''deal with training youth for new kinds of jobs that would be created.''

Key Points

• 'Cyber physical systems' is an uncountable noun and that is why we use the singular form of the verb 'deal'.
• With this, we can eliminate options 1 and 4.
• Let us look at option 2-
  • Deal with training youth for new kinds of jobs that would be create- here the last word should be 'created'. 'Create' is the first form of verb which means- to cause something new to happen or exist.
• Let us look at option 3-
  • Deal with train youth for new kinds of jobs that would be created- Here, the word 'train' makes the option incorrect. 
• Let us look at option 5-
  • Deal with training youth for new kinds of jobs that would be created- This option has all the correct forms of verbs, correct prepositions, correct pronouns. This option is the most appropriate option.
• Thus, the correct sentence is- "Cyber physical systems deal with training youth for new kinds of jobs that would be created due to the destruction of conventional jobs and the mechanization of jobs."

The correct answer is "​have stoked fears of potential crop losses in the second half of September".

Key Points

• The sentence is talking about Forecasts and crop losses.
• Forecasts mean it is a prediction of what will happen. Prediction of the future in the present time.
• 'Forecasts' is the subject, and thus the correct form of verb to use will be 'have'.
• 'Have' indicates something that is in the present tense.
• We shall not use 'has' as it is in the third person present of 'have'.
• The rest of the sentence "have stoked fears of potential crop losses in the second half of September" has three prepositions. two 'of' and one 'in' which is correct in the Fourth option.
• Meaning of stoked (in the past tense)- to make people feel something more strongly.
• Here 'stoked' is in past tense because the forecast has put strongly the fear of crop losses.
• The correct sentence is- "Forecasts of heavy rains across key central and western growing regions have stoked fears of potential crop losses in the second half of September."

The correct answer is option 2.

Explanation   

• The given sentence talks about the measures taken by the universities to help control the spread of coronavirus. Option 2 fits correctly as it means changing/adapting to distance learning.
• No other option is appropriate. Hampered means hindered or obstructed the movement or progress of. Position(verb) means to place; put.
• Hence, options 1,3 and 4 are not suitable.

The sentence is of present perfect tense. It is to be noted then that the verbs to be used in the sentence should be grammatically correct. Options 1 and 3 are eliminated because the verb “became” is used which is past participle form of verb and its use is grammatically incorrect.  Option 4 is also eliminated because “+ing form of verb” is usually used in present tense, present continuous tense or present perfect continuous tense and not with perfect tenses.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
