PRACTICE TEST 2

Section I : Verbal Section

EXPLANATORY ANSWER :

1. B


This sentence has a though extender as its logical structure. Later it also has a thought reverses with words like ‘aggression of profanity’ … is not … or childish. The first blank have word that is capable of being a supportive word to the second blank – assault has to be only on ‘decorum’ not an any of the other choices given in the second line of words – the first blank must have a word synonymous to the word ‘childish’ since it has a negative word ‘not’ before the blank and ‘or’ after the blank.



2. E


The words of the 1^st order in A and D seem to be right. But the second word does not fit into the meaning of the context. The second order in B and C seem to be fitting. But not the word in the 1^st order. The sweet, pleasant tones (mellifluous) of the flute succeeded in calming his tense nerves.



3. C


The first blank of A and C appear to fit in to the context. But the second blank of A does not convey the meaning in the context. The opening words ‘without’ calls for a negative word in the first blank.



4. D


The first order of the set of the words – almost all of them seem suitable in the context. But they do not bring out the specific context. The second word for the second blank in A, B, and C do not make sense, E makes sense, but ‘colorful’ is for the sight and not for ‘feeling’ "agreeable melancholy" – has to result from the transitoriness of natural beauty and not abstractness or wildness. So D is the answer.



5. C


The sentence starts with negative meaning, ‘Despite’. Words like emphasize – ‘key for’ give the clue for the second word in the blank. A, B, D and E – in the second order of words do not fit in. Second word choice deciphoring myths, hopes and fears makes better sense than any of the other given choices.



6. A


No other choice fits in completely. The choice of the second word in the given order plays a predominant role in helping us determine the answer. All the other choices have either of the words letting down in giving a complete sense. Hence A is the answer.
