Correct Answer: No substitution

Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

Explanation: In this sentence, the phrase under control is an idiomatic expression that means the situation is being managed or regulated effectively. The options beneath, beside, and below do not convey the same meaning in the given context.
Beneath generally means under or below, but it doesn't capture the sense of control.
Beside means next to, and below also implies a lower position without specifically conveying the idea of control. Hence, no substitution is needed, and the original phrase under control accurately conveys the intended meaning.

Therefore, the correct sentence remains: The situation in the city is now fully under control.

Correct Answer: 60

Solution : Given:
5, 6, 10, 19, 35, ?

The pattern is as follows –
5 + (1)² = 5 + 1 = 6
6 + (2)² = 6 + 4 = 10
10 + (3)² = 10 + 9 = 19
19 + (4)² = 19 + 16 = 35
35 + (5)² = 35 + 25 = 60

So, 60 is the missing number of the series. Hence, the second option is correct. 

Correct Answer:

Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear closer to the mirror in the reflection.

Hence, the second option is correct.

Correct Answer: My friend Ganesh said that he could solve the biggest problem very easily.

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Indirect speech is speech that tells you what someone said but does not use the person's actual words. In indirect speech, when reporting someone else's statement, we often shift the pronouns and verb tenses.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

• The pronoun "I" in the direct speech is changed to "he" in the indirect speech to reflect the perspective of the speaker in the reporting sentence. 
• The verb "could" remains the same because it is reporting a past ability, and there is no need to change it. 
• The reporting verb "said" is used to introduce the reported statement.
• The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.

Therefore, the correct answer is: My friend Ganesh said that he could solve the biggest problem very easily.

Correct Answer: Speaker of Lok Sabha

Solution : The correct answer is the Speaker of Lok Sabha.

General elections are used to choose the Lok Sabha members. The speaker of the Lok Sabha and the deputy speaker are chosen by the majority of members of Parliament present and voting in the assembly. Thus, appointment to the Lok Sabha Speaker position is not made by the Indian President.

Correct Answer: migratory

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation:
Migratory is the most appropriate word that should be used to fill in the blank. It is an adjective that denotes an animal that moves from one region to another according to the season. It is the appropriate word because the sentence requires an adjective, whereas migrate is a verb, and migration is a noun.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: The migratory bird collapsed due to the severe heat wave.

Correct Answer: Foreign Exchange Management Act

Solution : The correct answer is the Foreign Exchange Management Act.

The Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) in India was replaced by the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). FEMA came into effect on June 1, 2000, and it marked a shift from the stringent regulations of FERA to a more liberalised and market-oriented approach to managing foreign exchange in the country. FEMA focuses on facilitating external trade and payments rather than regulating and controlling foreign exchange transactions.

Correct Answer: Slaughter

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

"Carnage" refers to the widespread and usually bloody killing or slaughter of a large number of people or animals. Similarly, "slaughter" also denotes the act of killing on a large scale, making it an appropriate synonym in the context of violent and widespread destruction.

The meanings of other words are as follows:

• Revelry means lively and noisy festivities, often involving celebration, merrymaking, and enjoyment.
• Plague refers to a widespread and often deadly disease affecting a large number of people or animals.
• Lust means intense or overwhelming desire, often associated with strong sexual or passionate feelings.

Therefore, the right answer is slaughter.

Correct Answer: 1

Solution : Given:
The weight of P is twice that of Q, i.e., P = 2Q
The weight of Q is half that of R, i.e., R = 2Q
The weight of R is 3 times T, i.e., R = 3T
The weight of T is half that of S, i.e., S = 2T

By concluding all the given information, we have –
P = R > S > Q > T

Therefore, the weight of Q is more than only one person, i.e., T. Hence, the first option is correct.
