When children become more experienced with words as visual symbols, they find that they can gain meaning without making.....................….sounds.
aural | |
audible | |
vocal | |
intelligible |
Question 3 Explanation:
‘Without making intelligible sounds’ does not make sense in the given sentence. Words ‘aural’ and ‘vocal’ are technical words that draw attention away from the crux of the sentence i.e. one need not be heard all the time to gain meaning. The right choice is option B.
Question 4 |
Not wanting to present an unwarranted optimistic picture in the board meeting, the CEO estimated the sales growth_______.
strictly | |
liberally | |
fancifully | |
pessimistically | |
conservatively |
Question 4 Explanation:
Since the estimation of the sales growth given by the CEO is not optimistic therefore we are looking for a negative word here. So ‘liberally’ and ‘fancifully’ are crossed out as they have a positive meaning. ‘Strict’ is an adjective mainly used for people and we are talking about the sales growth here so strict can’t be the answer. ‘Pessimistic’ could be used when the CEO did not know the actual picture but could only make negative assumptions. Conservative is the correct word to be used here because it means that the CEO did not estimate the growth to be a lot or in excess. So option E is the correct answer.
Question 5 |
In a frantic search to locate his missing papers, Atish proceeded to ______ the entire house.
do over | |
go through | |
look into | |
rummage through |
Question 5 Explanation:
What is the person doing in this sentence? He is searching the house, in a frantic manner (not in a calm or relaxed way). How does this approach translate in the answer options? Option 4 is the best one, representing this sentiment of frantic search. The other options point out to the search but do not reflect the urgency of the person concerned.
