81. One-word substitution :
One who can be easily deceived –
(a) gullible (b) complacent
(c) punctilious (d) stupid

82. Choose a phrasal verb to complete this sentence :

They’re into the fifth day of negotiations to _________ a deal.
(a) nail out (b) dig up
(c) hammer out (d) paper over

83. Choose the word opposite in meaning to the underlined word :

Why was he so indignant with you ?
(a) wrathful (b) angry
(c) indifferent (d) cool

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : (Q. No. 84 – 86)
If he engages in controversy of any kind, his disciplined intellect preserves him from the
blundering discovery of better, though less educated minds, who, like blunt weapons, tear and
hack instead of cutting clean, who mistake the point in argument, waste their strength on trifles,
misconceive their adversary, and leave the question more involved than they find it. He may be
right or wrong in his opinion, but he is too clear headed to be unjust; he is as simple as he is
forcible, and as brief as he is decisive. Nowhere shall we find greater candour, consideration,
indulgence; he throws himself into the minds of his opponents, he accounts for their mistakes. He
knows the weakness of human reason as well as its strength, its province and its limits. If he be an
unbeliever, he will be too profound and large minded to ridicule religion or to act against it; he is
too wise to be a dogmatist or fanatic in his enfidility.
84. The word ‘blundering’ could be best replaced with :
(a) failing (b) serious
(c) fallacious (d) committing mistake

85. The correct spelling of ‘enfidility’ is :

(a) infidelty (b) enfidity
(c) infidelity (d) infeadility

86. The word ‘controversy’ could be best replaced with :

(a) discussion (b) debate
(c) arguments (d) speech

87. Choose the word which is nearest in meaning to the underlined word :
I find the sudden chill in weather appalling.
(a) clear (b) deadly
(c) unclear (d) dreadful
