Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution'.

If you had learned French, you had gone to France for studies.

Option 1: would have gone

Option 2: No substitution

Option 3: would go

Option 4: will go

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: would have gone


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation:
This is the case of the third conditional, which is used to talk about hypothetical situations and their potential outcomes, and the structure for this type of conditional is "would have + past participle" to indicate a hypothetical situation in the past and its hypothetical result. Thus, had gone should be replaced with would have gone to align with the structure of the third conditional.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: If you had learned French, you would have gone to France for studies.

Option 1: TXWVFJ

Option 2: UXWTFE

Option 3: UXWUFE

Option 4: UYWUEE

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: UXWUFE


Solution : Given:
LONDON, ORQALK, RUTXIH, ?

Add 3 to the first three numbers and subtract 3 from the last three numbers to obtain the missing term.
LONDON→L + 3 = O; O + 3 = R; N + 3 = Q; D – 3 = A; O – 3 = L; N – 3 = K
ORQALK→O + 3 = R; R + 3 = U; Q + 3 = T; A – 3 = X; L – 3 = I; K – 3 = H
RUTXIH→R + 3 = U; U + 3 = X; T + 3 = W; X – 3 = U; I – 3 = F; H – 3 = E

So, UXWUFE is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Comprehension:

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

All foodstuffs change. Green fruits become ripe and eggs go bad or rotten. It is the enzymes naturally present in each food which bring about the complex chemical changes that lead first to ripening and then to rotting.

How does one control the activity of enzymes, bacteria, yeasts and moulds in food? All of them require air, moisture and a certain temperature, usually somewhere near the body temperature, to be active. Depriving them of one or more of these will suppress them. All microorganisms can be killed by heat sterilisation. This simply means heating the food to high enough temperatures by boiling, deep or shallow frying, roasting, baking and, for milk particularly, pasteurisation. After such sterilisation, if the food is sealed in airtight containers, it can be kept for a long time. A certain water content in food is necessary for microorganisms to be active. Drying in the sun is a simple way of bringing down the moisture level so low that the enzymes and microorganisms cannot flourish.

Some chemicals can suppress undesirable activity. The addition of salt, vinegar, spices and oil or sugar syrup are other ways of preventing foods from going bad. If heating kills, freezing inactivates the enzymes and microorganisms. This is what happens in a refrigerator, in which fruits, vegetables and milk can be kept for fairly long periods. For meat and fish, even colder temperatures, below freezing point, are necessary for preservation. All foods which are kept cold in this way, once taken out and returned to room temperature, are again subject to spoilage and change.

Question:
The main theme of the passage is:

Option 1: Chemicals in foodstuff

Option 2: Ripening of fruit

Option 3: Production of micro-organisms

Option 4: Preservation of food

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Preservation of food


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

The given passage initially talks about the changes that take place in food articles over time. Then we are introduced to some methods to check the growth of various microorganisms inside food items. And finally, some chemicals, such as salt and vinegar, are also mentioned that help in the preservation of foods. It can be concluded that the primary theme of the passage is the preservation of food.
