Question : If the water smells bad, then that odour can be removed by adding:

Option 1: alum

Option 2: bleach

Option 3: activated carbon 

Option 4: deactivated nitrogen 

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: activated carbon 


Solution : The correct option is activated carbon.

If the water smells bad, adding a few drops of lemon juice or activated charcoal can help neutralise the odour. Additionally, proper ventilation and regular cleaning of water sources can address the issue.

In many different applications, including the preparation of food and beverages, removing odours, and industrial pollution control, activated carbon is used to purify liquids and gases.

Question : The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph.
P. There once was a little boy who had a very bad temper.
Q. The boy gradually began to control his temper over the next few weeks, and the number of nails he was hammering into the fence slowly decreased.
R. His father decided to hand him a bag of nails and said that every time the boy lost his temper, he had to hammer a nail into the fence.
S. On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nalis into that fence.

Option 1: QRSP

Option 2: PRSQ

Option 3: RPSQ

Option 4: QPRS

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: PRSQ


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

There is a logical progression: It starts by introducing the boy's bad temper, then explains the father's strategy to help the boy control his temper, followed by the initial consequence (37 nails hammered in), and ends with the improvement in the boy's behaviour over time.

The most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph would be:

P: There once was a little boy who had a very bad temper.

R: His father decided to hand him a bag of nails and said that every time the boy lost his temper, he had to hammer a nail into the fence.

S: On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nails into that fence.

Q: The boy gradually began to control his temper over the next few weeks, and the number of nails he was hammering into the fence slowly decreased.

So, the right order would be PRSQ.

Question : Select the most appropriate idiom for the underlined segment in the given sentence.

When he made fun of the sage, who was already infuriated, it made a bad situation worse.

Option 1: Made them at the loggerheads

Option 2: Pulled someone's legs

Option 3: Added fuel to the fire

Option 4: Budged up

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Added fuel to the fire


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The phrase "it made a bad situation worse" suggests that the action of making fun of the sage intensified or exacerbated an already negative situation. Added fuel to the fire is an idiomatic expression that precisely conveys this meaning. It implies making a situation more intense or inflammatory.

Therefore, the correct answer is: "Added fuel to the fire."
