Directions (20-27): Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Mount Vesuvius, a picturesque city in the Philippines, has gained immense popularity among tourists
due to its breathtaking scenic beauty. With its lush greenery, majestic mountains, and tranquil
environment, it has become a sought-after destination for travelers seeking peace and natural wonders.
Visitors from all over the world flock to this city, eager to witness its mesmerizing landscapes and
capture the perfect snap of its stunning surroundings. Social media has further amplified its popularity,
drawing even larger crowds year after year.
However, while tourism has contributed to the city’s economy, it has also brought several challenges,
especially for its long-time residents. Most of the people living in Mount Vesuvius are retired military
personnel who cherish peace and order. The continuous influx of tourists has disrupted their quiet
lifestyle, as many visitors fail to respect the cleanliness of the area. Careless littering, pollution, and
overcrowding have become persistent issues, leading to growing frustration among the locals. Many
residents feel that their once-pristine home is slowly losing its charm due to irresponsible tourism.
On May 5th, the residents officially filed a complaint, urging authorities to take immediate action to
address the increasing pollution and environmental damage. They requested the government to
________________ to manage and eliminate pollution, ensuring that the natural beauty of Mount Vesuvius
remains preserved. Responding to their concerns, the city’s pollution control board stepped in to find a
viable solution. After much deliberation, the council proposed a rather unconventional measure—
constructing tall towers that would block the scenic view of the city’s most popular attractions. The idea
was to deter excessive tourism by limiting access to the breathtaking sights that initially drew visitors
to the area.
While this decision sparked mixed reactions, city officials believed it was necessary to strike a balance
between tourism and environmental preservation. By restricting access to certain areas, they aimed to
restore a sense of private tranquility for the residents while ensuring the long-term sustainability of
Mount Vesuvius. Whether this strategy will effectively control the influx of tourists remains to be seen,
but one thing is clear—the city is determined to protect its natural beauty before it is lost forever.

 Solutions

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given sentence:
"The girl stood at the airport for hours, but no one awaited to."
Error in the highlighted phrase ("awaited to"):
• "Await" is a transitive verb, meaning it must take a direct object without any preposition.
• The preposition "to" is unnecessary and makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
• Correct usage: "No one awaited her." OR "No one arrived."
Meaning and Analysis of the Given Options:
(a) Revolved
• Meaning (English): To move in a circular motion around something.
• Meaning (Hindi): घूमना, चक्कर लगाना।
• Incorrect: "Revolved" does not fit the context, as waiting at an airport does not involve circular
movement.
(b) Derived
• Meaning (English): To obtain something from a source.
• Meaning (Hindi): प्राप्त करना, ककसी स्रोत से कनकालना।
• Incorrect: "Derived" does not logically fit, as the sentence is about waiting at an airport, not
obtaining something.
(c) Resulted
• Meaning (English): To lead to a particular consequence or outcome.
• Meaning (Hindi): पररणामस्वरूप होना, ककसी चीज़ का नतीजा होना।
• Incorrect: "Resulted" does not fit because the sentence is about waiting, not about a cause-and-
effect relationship.
(d) Arrived (Correct Answer)
• Meaning (English): To reach a place.
• Meaning (Hindi): पहुँचना, आगमन करना।
• Correct: "Arrived" is the most appropriate replacement because if no one awaited her, it means
no one arrived at the airport.
Corrected Sentence:
"The girl stood at the airport for hours, but no one arrived."
Final Answer:
✔ (d) Arrived

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given sentence:
"The frog was call for jump in the pond, but it suddenly stopped."
Error in the highlighted phrase ("call for jump"):
1. "Call for" is incorrect in this context – "Call for" means to demand or require something
(e.g., The situation calls for urgent action).
o Here, the sentence suggests the frog was about to jump, not that it required jumping.

24
 2. "Call" should be in the past participle form ("called") to match "was" in passive voice, but
even then, "called for jump" is grammatically incorrect.
3. "Jump" should be in gerund form ("jumping") if kept in the sentence.
Meaning and Analysis of the Given Options:
(a) Before
• Meaning (English): Earlier than a particular time/event.
• Meaning (Hindi): पहले, ककसी घटना से पूर्व।
• Incorrect: "Before" does not fit the context of an interrupted action.
(b) About (Correct Answer)
• Meaning (English): On the verge of doing something.
• Meaning (Hindi): कुछ करने र्ाला था।
• Correct: "About to" is the proper phrase for an intended action that did not happen.
• Corrected sentence: "The frog was about to jump in the pond, but it suddenly stopped."
(c) For
• Meaning (English): Indicates purpose or intention.
• Meaning (Hindi): के कलए।
• Incorrect: "For" does not fit the sentence structure properly.
(d) Again
• Meaning (English): Once more, after a previous occurrence.
• Meaning (Hindi): किर से, दोबारा।
• Incorrect: "Again" does not match the meaning of an intended action.
(e) No replacement required
Incorrect because "call for jump" is grammatically wrong.
Final Answer:
✔ (b) About
Corrected sentence: "The frog was about to jump in the pond, but it suddenly stopped."

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Given sentence:
"She was worried because her brother had going to for an unknown location."
Errors in the highlighted phrase ("had going to for"):
1. "Had going to" is incorrect – The past perfect tense ("had") must be followed by a past
participle, not a continuous form ("going"). The correct structure should be "had gone to" or
"had left for."
2. "For" is unnecessary with "going to" – If "going to" were correct, it wouldn't require "for."
However, since "had going to" is incorrect, we need a better verb.
3. "Had left for" is the best replacement – The phrase "left for" correctly indicates someone
departing for a location.
Meaning and Analysis of the Given Options:
(a) Arise
• Meaning (English): To come into existence or happen.
• Meaning (Hindi): उत्पन्न होना, खडा होना।
• Incorrect: "Arise" does not fit because it does not relate to travel or leaving a location.
25
(b) Well
• Meaning (English): In a good manner, or a source of water.
• Meaning (Hindi): अच्छी तरह से, या कुआुँ ।
• Incorrect: "Well" is an adverb/adjective and cannot replace a verb phrase.
(c) Left (Correct Answer)
• Meaning (English): Departed from a place.
• Meaning (Hindi): छोडकर चला गया।
• Correct: "Had left for" is grammatically correct and accurately conveys the meaning that her
brother departed for an unknown location.
• Corrected sentence: "She was worried because her brother had left for an unknown location."
(d) Occur
• Meaning (English): To happen or take place.
• Meaning (Hindi): घकटत होना।
• Incorrect: "Occur" is used for events, not for people traveling.
(e) No replacement required
Incorrect because "had going to for" is grammatically wrong.
Final Answer:
✔ (c) Left
Corrected sentence: "She was worried because her brother had left for an unknown location."

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given sentence:
"The teacher instructed the students to run into the topic in groups."
Error in the highlighted phrase ("run into the topic"):
1. "Run into" is incorrect in this context – The phrasal verb "run into" means to meet someone
unexpectedly or to encounter a problem, which does not make sense when referring to
discussing a topic.
2. Correct phrase: "Discuss the topic" is the appropriate verb choice in this context.
Meaning and Analysis of the Given Options:
(a) Affirm
• Meaning (English): To confirm or state something as true.
• Meaning (Hindi): पुकि करना, सत्याकपत करना।
• Incorrect: "Affirm" does not fit because it refers to confirming a fact rather than actively
engaging with a topic.
(b) Discuss (Correct Answer)
• Meaning (English): To talk about a subject in detail.
• Meaning (Hindi): चचाव करना।
• Correct: "Discuss the topic" is the most appropriate replacement as it correctly conveys that
students are engaging with the topic in groups.

26
(c) Retard
• Meaning (English): To slow down progress.
• Meaning (Hindi): धीमा करना, अर्रुद्ध करना।

a topic.
(d) Regard

• Meaning (Hindi): ध्यान दे ना, कर्चार करना।
• Incorrect: "Regard" does not fit because it does not involve an active conversation or
engagement with the topic.

Incorrect because "run into the topic" is grammatically wrong.

✔ (b) Discuss
Corrected sentence: "The teacher instructed the students to discuss the topic in groups."

when referring to making metal structures.

S11. Ans.(d)
Sol. Correct Answer:
✔ (d) based
Sentence with Blank:
"A company's success is __________ (A) on three key pillars: capital, liquidity, and trust."
• The correct structure is "is based on," meaning founded upon or dependent on.
• The phrase "is based on three key pillars" correctly conveys that the company's success is
built upon these essential factors.
Analysis of the Given Options with Meanings (English & Hindi):
(a) Believe (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): To accept something as true.
• Meaning (Hindi): विश्वास करना
• Why incorrect? "Believe" is a verb that expresses trust or faith in something, but it does not fit
grammatically in the sentence.
(b) Ignored (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): To intentionally disregard or overlook.
• Meaning (Hindi): अनदे खा करना
• Why incorrect? "Ignored" means to neglect or not consider something, which contradicts the
idea of success being built upon three pillars.
(c) Depends (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): To rely on something for support or success.
• Meaning (Hindi): वनर्भर होना
• Why incorrect? While "depends on" could make sense, the sentence structure is "is ____ on,"
requiring a past participle ("based"), not a verb in the present tense.
(d) Based (Correct)
• Meaning (English): Founded or established on something.
• Meaning (Hindi): आधाररत होना
• Why correct? "Is based on" is the correct grammatical structure to describe something being
built or established upon a foundation.
(e) Present (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): Existing, available, or occurring at a specific time.
• Meaning (Hindi): मौजूद, उपस्थित
• Why incorrect? "Present" does not make sense in this context, as the sentence is discussing the
foundation of success, not just its existence.

30
Final Answer:
✔ (d) Based
• Corrected Sentence: "A company's success is based on three key pillars: capital, liquidity, and
trust."

S12. Ans.(b)
Sol. Correct Answer:
✔ (b) crucial
Sentence with Blank:
"While capital provides financial strength and liquidity ensures smooth operations, trust is the most (B)
factor in long-term stability."
• The sentence suggests that trust is the most important factor for stability, so the correct word
should mean "extremely important" or "essential."
• "Crucial" fits best because it means something that is essential for success or survival.
Analysis of the Given Options with Meanings (English & Hindi):
(a) Irrelevant (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): Not related or important.
• Meaning (Hindi): असंगत, अप्रासंवगक

"irrelevant" contradicts this.
(b) Crucial (Correct)
• Meaning (English): Extremely important or essential.
• Meaning (Hindi): अत्यंत महत्वपूर्भ, आिश्यक
• Why correct? The sentence emphasizes trust’s importance in stability, making "crucial" the
best choice.
(c) Replaceable (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): Something that can be substituted.
• Meaning (Hindi): बदलने योग्य, प्रवतथिापनीय
• Why incorrect? Trust is described as the most important factor, meaning it cannot be easily
replaced.
(d) Necessitates (Incorrect)

• Why incorrect? "Necessitates" is a verb, while the sentence requires an adjective to describe
"factor."
(e) Changing (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): Something that is constantly shifting or evolving.
• Meaning (Hindi): बदलता हुआ, पररिवतभत होता हुआ
• Why incorrect? The passage does not suggest that trust is always changing; rather, it is
described as a key factor in stability.

operations, trust is the most crucial factor in long-term stability."

Sentence with Blank:
"In collaborations and partnerships, trust (C) credibility, ensuring smooth business operations and mutual
growth."
• The sentence suggests that trust plays a role in establishing or deciding credibility in

this context.

smooth business operations and mutual growth."

a competitive edge.
(e) Captures (Incorrect)

reliability gain a competitive edge."

S15. Ans.(d)

S17. Ans.(c)
Sol. Analysis and Explanation for Each Sentence:
(a) The scientist conducted a experiment to test the new theory.
Error: "a experiment" → Incorrect article usage
Rule: The article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, while "an" is used before
words that begin with a vowel sound. Since "experiment" starts with a vowel sound (/ɛkspərɪmənt/), it
should be preceded by "an" instead of "a."
Corrected sentence: The scientist conducted an experiment to test the new theory.
(b) The train arrives on the station at exactly 10 AM.
Error: "on the station" → Incorrect preposition usage
Rule: The preposition "at" is used when referring to specific points or locations, whereas "on" is used
when referring to surfaces. Since "station" is considered a point/location, the correct preposition is "at."
Corrected sentence: The train arrives at the station at exactly 10 AM.
(c) Farmers harvested their crops before the rainy season began.
This sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
Rule:
1. "Harvested" (past tense) correctly agrees with "began" (past tense), maintaining tense
consistency.
2. The conjunction "before" is correctly used to indicate the sequence of events.

35
(d) He practice yoga every morning to stay healthy.
Error: "He practice" → Incorrect subject-verb agreement
Rule: In the simple present tense, when the subject is singular (he/she/it), the verb must take the -s
form. The verb "practice" should be in its third-person singular form, "practices."
Corrected sentence: He practices yoga every morning to stay healthy.
Correct Answer:
(c) Farmers harvested their crops before the rainy season began.

S18. Ans.(d)
Sol. Analysis and Explanation for Each Sentence:
(a) The seminar highlighted the important of mental well-being and stress management.
Error: "important" → Incorrect word form
Rule: "Important" is an adjective, but the sentence requires a noun form to function as the object of
"highlighted." The correct noun form is "importance."
Corrected sentence: The seminar highlighted the importance of mental well-being and stress
management.
(b) Over the years, technology have revolutionized the way we communicate.
Error: "technology have" → Incorrect subject-verb agreement
Rule: "Technology" is a singular noun and must be followed by a singular verb. The verb "have" is plural
and should be replaced with "has."
Corrected sentence: Over the years, technology has revolutionized the way we communicate.
(c) The emergency team quick evacuated residents from the flooded area.
Error: "quick evacuated" → Incorrect adverb usage
Rule: "Quick" is an adjective, but it is incorrectly modifying the verb "evacuated." An adverb (which
modifies a verb) should be used instead. The correct form is "quickly."
Corrected sentence: The emergency team quickly evacuated residents from the flooded area.
(d) The demand for electric vehicles is projected to rise significantly in the next decade.
This sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
Rule:
1. "The demand for electric vehicles" is a singular noun phrase, so "is projected" correctly agrees
with it.
2. "Significantly" is the correct adverb modifying "rise."
3. The phrase "in the next decade" is properly structured to indicate a future projection.
Correct Answer:
(d) The demand for electric vehicles is projected to rise significantly in the next decade.

S19. Ans.(c)
Sol. Analysis and Explanation for Each Sentence:
(a) The company offers flexibility working hours to its employees.
Error: "flexibility working hours" → Incorrect word form
Rule: "Flexibility" is a noun, but the sentence requires an adjective to modify "working hours." The
correct adjective form is "flexible."
Corrected sentence: The company offers flexible working hours to its employees.

36
(b) There are many benefits too maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Error: "too" → Incorrect word usage
Rule: "Too" means "also" or "excessively," but the correct word here is "to," which functions as a
preposition before "maintaining."
Corrected sentence: There are many benefits to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
(c) He advised me to submit the report before the deadline.
This sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
Rule:
1. "Advised" correctly follows the structure "advise + object + to-infinitive."
2. "Before the deadline" is the correct prepositional phrase indicating time.
(d) Sometimes, you just needed to take a break and relax.
Error: "needed" → Incorrect verb tense
Rule: "Sometimes" suggests a habitual action, which should be in the present tense rather than the
past tense ("needed"). The correct form is "need."
Corrected sentence: Sometimes, you just need to take a break and relax.
Correct Answer:
(c) He advised me to submit the report before the deadline.

S20. Ans.(c)
Sol. Correct Answer:
✔ (c) The main issue faced by the city was the problem of over-tourism, leading to pollution and
littering.
Solution with Reference to the Passage:
• Option (a) is incorrect → The passage states:
"On May 5th, the residents officially filed a complaint, urging authorities to take immediate action to
address the increasing pollution and environmental damage."
o The complaint was filed on May 5th, not May 15th.
• Option (b) is incorrect → The passage mentions that residents were concerned about
pollution, overcrowding, and littering, but it does not mention a drug problem.
o "The continuous influx of tourists has disrupted their quiet lifestyle, as many visitors fail to
respect the cleanliness of the area. Careless littering, pollution, and overcrowding have
become persistent issues, leading to growing frustration among the locals."
• Option (c) is correct → The passage clearly states that over-tourism led to pollution, littering,
and overcrowding, which frustrated residents.
o "Most of the people living in Mount Vesuvius are retired military personnel who cherish
peace and order. The continuous influx of tourists has disrupted their quiet lifestyle, as many
visitors fail to respect the cleanliness of the area. Careless littering, pollution, and
overcrowding have become persistent issues."
• Option (d) is incorrect → The passage mentions that the pollution control board stepped in
to find a solution rather than opposing the residents' concerns.
o "Responding to their concerns, the city’s pollution control board stepped in to find a viable
solution."
• Option (e) is incorrect → Since option (c) is correct, not all statements are incorrect.

"Most of the people living in Mount Vesuvius are retired military personnel who cherish peace and
order."

residents being primarily under 40.
o In fact, since they are retired military personnel, they are likely older.
• Option (c) is incorrect → The pollution control board did not propose turning the city into
a no-tourism zone. Instead, they suggested building tall towers to block the scenic views to
deter excessive tourism.
o "After much deliberation, the council proposed a rather unconventional measure—
constructing tall towers that would block the scenic view of the city’s most popular
attractions."
• Option (d) is incorrect → There is no mention of tourists being fined for taking pictures.
The only proposed measure was restricting scenic views.
• Option (e) is incorrect → Since option (a) is correct, not all statements are incorrect.

(a) Stance (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): A particular position or opinion on an issue.

mentioned in the passage.
(b) Sight (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): The ability to see, or something that is seen.
• Meaning (Hindi): दृश्य, नज़ारा, दृवष्ट
• Why incorrect? While "sight" refers to something that can be seen, it is generally used for

38
(c) Scene (Correct)
• Meaning (English): A particular view, setting, or landscape.
• Meaning (Hindi): दृश्य, पररदृश्य, दृश्यािली
• Why correct? "Scene" is often used to describe a scenic landscape or a beautiful place, making

• Meaning (Hindi): अिसर, संर्ािना
• Why incorrect? "Chance" refers to opportunities or probabilities, not visual scenery.

Meaning of "Snap" in the Passage:
In the passage, "snap" refers to taking a photograph, as seen in the sentence:
"Visitors from all over the world flock to this city, eager to witness its mesmerizing landscapes and capture

Here, "snap" means a photograph or a quick picture.
Meanings of the Given Words (English & Hindi) and Analysis:
(a) Click (Correct)
• Meaning (English): To press a camera button to take a picture.
• Meaning (Hindi): फोटो खी ंचना, स्िक करना
• Why correct? "Click" is a synonym for taking a quick photograph, making it the best choice.
(b) Crack (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): A break or split in something.
• Meaning (Hindi): दरार, टू टना
• Why incorrect? "Crack" refers to a physical break in an object, not a photograph.
(c) Break (Incorrect)

Sol. Correct Answer:
✔ (d) Unrestricted
Meaning of "Private" in the Passage:
The passage states:
"By restricting access to certain areas, they aimed to restore a sense of private tranquility for the residents
while ensuring the long-term sustainability of Mount Vesuvius."
Here, "private" refers to something restricted, personal, or exclusive to a certain group (the
residents).
Meanings of the Given Words (English & Hindi) and Analysis:
(a) Secret (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): Something kept hidden from others.
• Meaning (Hindi): गुप्त, रहस्यपूर्भ
• Why incorrect? "Secret" means something not meant to be revealed, but "private" in the
passage refers to a restricted or personal space, not secrecy.
(b) Shared (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): Used or enjoyed by multiple people.
• Meaning (Hindi): साझा वकया गया, वमलाजुला
• Why incorrect? While "shared" contrasts with "private," it does not fully convey the opposite
meaning of "private" as used in the passage, where the focus is on restricted access, not just
sharing.
(c) Common (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): Available to or used by many people.
• Meaning (Hindi): सामान्य, सािभजवनक
• Why incorrect? "Common" means widely available or ordinary, but "private" in the passage
refers to something with restricted access, not just something uncommon.
(d) Unrestricted (Correct)
• Meaning (English): Not limited or controlled.
• Meaning (Hindi): असीवमत, वबना रोक-टोक के
• Why correct? "Unrestricted" is the direct opposite of "private" in the passage because if
something is not private, it is open and accessible to all (i.e., unrestricted).
(e) Exclusive (Incorrect)
• Meaning (English): Available only to a specific group.
• Meaning (Hindi): विशेष, सीवमत लोगों के वलए
• Why incorrect? "Exclusive" is similar in meaning to "private," not opposite to it.

The passage states:
"The continuous influx of tourists has disrupted their quiet lifestyle, as many visitors fail to respect the
cleanliness of the area. Careless littering, pollution, and overcrowding have become persistent issues,

This clearly indicates that the residents are unhappy due to pollution, littering, and the loss of
peace caused by excessive tourism.

• (a) Tourists often disrespect local traditions and disrupt religious activities. (Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The passage does not mention anything about tourists disrupting
religious activities or disrespecting local traditions.

S26. Ans.(c)
Sol. Correct Answer:
✔ (c) focus on specific areas
Solution with Reference to the Passage:
The blank appears in the sentence:
"They requested the government to ________________ to manage and eliminate pollution, ensuring that the
natural beauty of Mount Vesuvius remains preserved."

41
The passage states that the residents are concerned about pollution and environmental damage
caused by excessive tourism and that they filed a complaint urging the government to take action.
The solution should relate to pollution control and preservation.
• "Focus on specific areas" is the most logical choice because it suggests targeted efforts to
manage pollution and environmental issues while still allowing some level of tourism.
Analysis of the Other Options:
• (a) Promote tourism through social media (Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The passage highlights the problems caused by excessive tourism, so
promoting it further would contradict the concerns of the residents.
• (b) Encourage more visitors to explore the city (Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The residents are complaining about overcrowding and pollution, so
encouraging more visitors would worsen the issue.
• (c) Focus on specific areas (Correct)
o Why correct? This option suggests a targeted approach to pollution control, which
aligns with the residents' complaint.
• (d) Ban all forms of tourism permanently (Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The passage does not suggest that residents want a complete ban on
tourism. Instead, they want better management of tourism to protect the
environment.
• (e) Relocate residents to another city (Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The residents are not asking to leave; they want the pollution issue to
be resolved while staying in their homes.

that most of the residents are retired military personnel, and they were frustrated with pollution,
littering, and overcrowding.
Analysis of the Other Options:
• (a) The city council, which wanted to impose new tourism regulations. (Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The city council did not file the complaint; they only responded later
by proposing a solution.
• (b) The residents, mostly retired military personnel, who were concerned about pollution
and littering. (Correct)
o Why correct? The passage explicitly states that the residents filed the complaint due
to pollution and overcrowding.
42
 • (c) The control pollution board, which noticed the rising environmental damage.
(Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The pollution control board stepped in after the complaint was filed

(Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The tourists were not the ones complaining; instead, they were the
cause of the issue.

(Incorrect)
o Why incorrect? The passage does not mention any involvement from environmental
organizations.
Final Answer:
✔ (b) The residents, mostly retired military personnel, who were concerned about pollution and
