Question : Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

It is quite hot today, but it was______ yesterday.

Option 1: hottest

Option 2: hotter

Option 3: more hotter

Option 4: most hot

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: hotter


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

We use the comparative form of the adjective to compare. In this case, the sentence is comparing today's temperature to yesterday's temperature, and the comparative form of "hot" is "hotter", which makes it the correct choice.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: It is quite hot today, but it was hotter yesterday.

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

  • Statement D is the second sentence of the paragraph, which explains that he occasionally occupies a high platform at the intersection or a flyover.
  • Statement C is the third sentence of the paragraph, which explains that he is dressed in a white uniform and white gloves.
  • Statement E is the fourth sentence of the paragraph, which explains that he carries a metal sign plate that reads "STOP" or a red or green-lit rod in one hand.
  • Statement B is the last sentence of the paragraph, which shows that he either stops individuals and cars with these signs or permits them to pass.

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

Footballers run from one corner of the field to other.

Option 1: through others

Option 2: on the other

Option 3: to another

Option 4: No improvement required

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: to another


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The reason for this correction is that "other" is not the correct term to use in this context. "Other" implies a comparison or contrast between two or more items, which is not intended in this sentence. Instead, "another" is the appropriate term to indicate a different corner of the field.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Footballers run from one corner of the field to another.

What action will you take in the present circumstances?

Option 1: What action can be taken by you in the present circumstances?

Option 2: What action will be took by you in the present circumstances?

Option 3: What action may be taken by you in the present circumstances?

Option 4: What action will be taken by you in the present circumstances?

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: What action will be taken by you in the present circumstances?


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

Explanation:

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice is: "Object + be verb + past participle of the main verb + preposition "by" + agent of action?"

Therefore, the correct passive form is: "What action will be taken by you in the present circumstances?"

Question : Directions: What was the day of the week on 05th of April 1234?

Option 1: Tuesday

Option 2: Sunday

Option 3: Monday

Option 4: Wednesday

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Wednesday


Solution : Code for months –

Month Jan Feb March April May June July Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Code 0 3 3 6 1 4 6 2 5 0 3 5

Code for days –

Days Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Code 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 or 7

Code for centuries –

1200 1300 1400 1500 1600
6 4 2 0 6

For, 5th of April 1234; –
Formula: {Date + (Month code) + (Century code) + ( last two digit of the year) + ((last two digit of the year / 4)'s Quotient)} / 7

Date = 5
Code for the month (April) = 6
Code for the century (1200) = 6
(1234 = 1200 + 34; For 1200 it will be 6 and for 34 it will be 34)
And, 34 ÷ 4 = 8(Quotient)
Now, on adding them we get→5 + 6 + 6 + 34 + 8 = 59
On dividing 59 by 7, we get 3 as a remainder.
3 is the code for Wednesday.

So, the 05th of April 1234 will be Wednesday. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

C. Living with us, he started to believe he was not a bird at all.

Option 2: ACBD

Option 3: ADBC

Option 4: ACDB

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ADBC


Solution : The third option is correct.

While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them:

  • Sentence A introduces us to the subject and its pet tortoise. It is the introductory sentence and will be put in the first place.
  • Sentence D tells us about the subject's second pet, which is a pigeon. It will be put in the second place.
  • Sentence B tells us further about what the pigeon ate (bread and milk). It will be put in the third place.
  • The last sentence is C, as it mentions the pigeon's perception (that he wasn't a bird).

Therefore, the correct answer would be ADBC.

Option 1: The seminar were attended by Reena online.

Option 2: The seminar is being attended by Reena online.

Option 3: The seminar was being attended by Reena online.

Option 4: The seminar was to be attended by Reena online.

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The seminar is being attended by Reena online.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the present continuous tense is: "Singular object + is + being + past participle form of the verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the sentence in passive voice is: The seminar is being attended by Reema online.
