1----In the given sentence, the use of the plural form of the verb 'are' is incorrect.

We know that a singular 'subject' will always take a singular 'verb'.


The singular noun subject 'way' will take the singular verb 'ís'.
Therefore, the singular verb 'is' should be used in place of the plural verb 'are'.

Correct Sentence: The simplest way to get proper recognition is through doing
things with dedication and sincerity.

2-----Given Idiom: Cut to the chase means to leave out all unnecessary details and deal
with the major points.
Example: In business meetings, Richardson likes to cut to the chase.
From the given options, the second option is the most appropriate meaning of the given
idiom.

Hence, the correct answer is Talking about the important point and leaving out the detail.

5----Let us explore the given options:


The phrase 'So far as' means to the extent that.
The phrase 'So long so' is not the correct phrase.
The phrase 'As long that' is not the correct phrase.
The phrase 'As long as' means during the whole time that.

Hence, the correct answer is No Improvement.

7------The correct answer is 'Mohan’s wallet might have been misplaced by Sheetal in
their rush'.

In Active Voice, a sentence emphasizes the subject, performing an action.


In Passive Voice, a sentence emphasizes the action or the object of the sentence.
The given sentence is in the active voice and 'Sheetal' is the subject and 'Mohan's wallet'
is the object.
When we convert this sentence into passive voice, the subject 'Sheetal' of the active
voice becomes the object, the object 'Mohan's wallet' becomes the subject.
The passive format "'have + been + V3 (misplaced)" should be used.
This is the active and passive voice rule for the present perfect tense.

Hence, the correct passive voice is Mohan’s wallet might have been misplaced by
Sheetal in their rush.

8-----The sentence 'C' is independent of any other sentences as it is giving general


information about the noun "John". Hence, 'C' is the first part.
The word "job" mentioned in the sentence 'D' refers back to the phrase 'a big well dug'
mentioned in the sentence 'C'. Hence, 'D' follows 'C'.
The phrase "found none" mentioned in the sentence 'A' refers back to the noun "workers"
mentioned in the sentence 'D'. Hence, 'A' follows 'D'.
The sentence 'B' is the concluding sentence. Hence, 'B' is the last sentence.

Paragraph after rearranging the sentences: John wanted to have a big well dug. He
searched around for workers who would do the job for him without pay. Though John
found none, he was not ready to give in. He continued the search till noon.

9------The given sentence is a direct speech.


The basic rules for changing or converting direct speech into indirect speech:​
The commas and inverted commas are removed and 'question mark' is replaced by 'full
stop' and the verb 'did' is replaced by 'whether'.
The second-person pronoun 'you' is replaced by the third-person pronoun 'he'.
The first-person pronoun 'I' is replaced by the third-person pronoun 'he'
The past simple tense format 'Subject + V2 (kept) + Object' will be changed into the past
perfect tense format 'Subject + had + V3 (kept) + Object'.

Hence, the correct option is The storekeeper asked the security whether he had seen the
torch he had kept there.

10---- Euthanasia
11------Let us explore the given options:
The noun 'concession' means the action of conceding or granting something.
The noun 'compromise' means an agreement or settlement of a dispute.
The noun 'dispute' means a disagreement or argument.
The noun 'argument' means the act or process of arguing, reasoning, or discussing.

Complete Sentence: People readily accept any argument of their leaders if supported by
the media.

13-----In the underlined segment, the phrase "Lot of " is incorrect.


In the given sentence, the noun 'times' is a plural uncountable noun.
We know that the phrase "a lot of'' is used with a plural uncountable noun.
Therefore, the phrase "A lot of'' should be used in place of ''Lot of''.

Correct Sentence: A lot of times she advised him for not being lazy for completing such
a tough task.

16-------In the given sentence, the use of the plural form of the verb 'have' is incorrect.
We know that a singular 'subject' will always take a singular 'verb'.
The singular noun subject 'man' will take the singular verb 'has'.
Therefore, the singular verb 'has' should be used in place of the plural verb 'have'.
Correct Sentence: The man with a lost eye has been accused of murder of two girls in his
neighbourhood.

17------KEEP A CIVIL TONGUE is to speak politely

20----The sentence 'C' is independent of any other sentences as it is giving


general information about the noun "Franco". Hence, 'C' is the first part.
The word "fishing" mentioned in the sentence 'D' is linked with the word
'fisherman' mentioned in the sentence 'C'. Hence, 'D' follows 'C'.
The phrase "Franco was young" mentioned in the sentence 'A' is linked
with the phrase "as long as he could remember" mentioned in the
sentence 'D'. Hence, 'A' follows 'D'.
The sentence 'B' is the concluding sentence. Hence, 'B' is the last
sentence.

Paragraph after rearranging the sentences: Franco was a fisherman who


lived on the beach. He had been fishing for as long as he could
remember. When Franco was young; he would stay at sea all night. Every
morning, he would arrive with a big catch of fresh fish and sell it in the
market.

21--- Agnostic

22----D) 'Adjunct'
'Adjunct' will be used because it means something added to another
thing but not
essential to it. The sentence mentions that VVPAT is a system
attached to the EVM,
making 'adjunct' fitting here. Whereas, 'Inspect' means to examine,
'Distinct' means

different or unique, and 'Reflect' means to mirror or show, which


don't fit in this
context.
23----. A) 'Assuaged'
'Assuaged' will be used because it means to make an unpleasant
feeling less intense.
The sentence mentions that the process of counting VVPAT tallies
has not satisfied the
critics, making 'assuaged' fitting here. Whereas, 'Prolonged' means
to extend the
duration, and 'Underprivileged' means deprived, which don't fit in
this context.

24----. B) 'Rule out'


'Rule out' will be used because it means to eliminate a possibility.
The sentence
mentions that an audit could eliminate any malicious code, making
'rule out' fitting
here. Whereas, 'Way out' means a solution, 'Pullout' means to
withdraw, and 'Drawn
out' means prolonged, which don't fit in this context.

25---. B) 'Indeed'
'Indeed' will be used because it means truly or in fact. The sentence
mentions that this
could make the system more robust and be considered as an
upgrade to the existing
machines, making 'indeed' fitting here. Whereas, 'Somewhat'
means to some extent,
'Prominently' means in a noticeable way, and 'Wherein' means in
which, which don't fit
in this context.
