Sentence Completion Question 1:
In the following questions, an incomplete statement followed by fillers is given. Pick out the best filler to complete the incomplete statement, correctly and meaningfully
He has no money now _______
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Sentence Completion Question 1 Detailed Solution
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.
Sentence Completion Question 2:
In the following questions, an incomplete statement followed by fillers is given. Pick out the best filler to complete the incomplete statement, correctly and meaningfully
His behaviour is so unpredictable that he ______
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Sentence Completion Question 2 Detailed Solution
- 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.
- 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.
Sentence Completion Question 3:
In the following questions, an incomplete statement followed by fillers is given. Pick out the best filler to complete the incomplete statement, correctly and meaningfully
Owing to the acute power shortage, the people of our locality have decided to _______
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Sentence Completion Question 3 Detailed Solution
- 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.
- 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.
Sentence Completion Question 4:
Complete the sentence with the correct conditional clause.
If I had gone to New Delhi, ____
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Sentence Completion Question 4 Detailed Solution
- 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.
- 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.
