6. Question
He was able to __________ Greek at the __________ of eight.
Ans:2
What is ‘Greek’? Is it something on which someone could climb? Is it something which could be watched? Is it something which could be seen? Is it which could be invited? Or Is it something which could be read?
Greek has two meanings: one denotes the name of a Language, and the other denotes the name for the citizens of the Greece.
So, among the options, the two contenders for the correct answer are the options (b) and (e). Now, if ‘Greek’ is a common name attributed to a singular person, then it should be preceded by an article which is missing. The word ‘Greek’ can’t be plural because the word itself is a singular. Hence, the option (e) is also ruled out.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (b).7. Question
___________ three eggs into a __________ and mix them together.
Ans:3
Three eggs can be cracked into a bowl, thrown into a dustbin, stored into a box, but they can’t be cooked into a dustbin or cooked into a box. So, the options (b) and (e) are ruled out. Now, among the options (a), (c) and (d), selection of the correct word will be made through analyzing the phrase ‘mix them together’. Storing (or throwing) three eggs into a box (or a dustbin) and mixing them together don’t make sense. So, the options (a) and (d) are also ruled out.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.8. Question
