ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Directions (71-80); Read the following passage carefully
and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are
given in bold to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
Everyone makes mistakes. But if you perceive your
mistake in the right way, despair can never arise. The
reason for your sadness and despair is that you do not want
to accept your mistake but are compelled to do so. When
you are caught red-handed and have to reluctantly admit
it, you feel sad, depressed and you develop complexes. This
occurs when you intend to defend your ego and not
honestly own up.
Your suffering is not because you did what you shouldn’t
have done, but because the image you have created gets
tainted. He who honestly accepts his mistake so that he
can uproot it would never go into depression or inferiority.
You ask for atonement for a wrongdoing and you perform
it, too. But the next time you get a wrong desire, you feel,
‘let me fulfil it and later I shall ask for atonement and
cleanse myself’. Your focus remains on the deed and not on
the impurity latent in your intention. Thus, by falsely
repenting and taking atonement, you try saving your image
but not move towards transformation. There is no regret
for your faulty state. You try covering up the mistake.
In the name of repentance, you try defending your ego. If
the list of your mistakes becomes long, your ego feels hurt
and you think, ‘Am I really so bad that I became angry? I am
not, it's just that such a situation arose, and I happened to
act like that.’ You repent and become the ‘good’ person you
think you are. This so-called repentance does not
transform you but makes arrangement for you to stay the
way you are. You keep repeating the same mistake but do
not bring any change in your inner state.

71. (c); The answer for the question can be derived from
the first paragraph. It is mentioned that ‘When
you are caught red-handed and have to
reluctantly admit it, you feel sad, depressed and
you develop complexes. This occurs when you
intend to defend your ego and not honestly own
up.’
So, both options (a) and (b) are correct and hence,
the option (c) is the correct answer
72. (d);The correct answer for the question can be
derived from the first paragraph and the third
paragraph.
In the first paragraph, kindly read the sentence
‘Everyone makes mistakes. But if you perceive
your mistake in the right way, despair can never
arise.’
In the third paragraph, kindly read the sentence
‘He who honestly accepts his mistake so that he
can uproot it would never go into depression or
inferiority.’
From the above, we understand that both the
options (b) and (c) are the correct answer.
Hence, the option (d) is the correct answer.
73. (a); The answer for the question can be derived from
reading the third paragraph.
‘Thus, by falsely repenting and taking atonement,
you try saving your image but not move towards
transformation. There is no regret for your faulty
state. You try covering up the mistake.’

The options (b), (c) and (d) are completely
irrelevant and out of context.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (a).
74. (e); The characteristics of false repenting can be
derived from reading the third and fourth
paragraphs.
In the third paragraph, ‘Your focus remains on the
deed and not on the impurity latent in your
intention.’
In the fourth paragraph, ‘In the name of
repentance, you try defending your ego’;
‘This so-called repentance does not transform
you but makes arrangement for you to stay the
way you are. You keep repeating the same
mistake but do not bring any change in your inner
state.’
From above, we understand that, all the given
options, i.e., the options (a), (b), (c) and (d) are
correct.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (e).
75. (b); The answer for the question can be derived from
the sixth paragraph.
‘The mistakes were mine alone; because I have
repeated the same mistakes. I have realized that I
have been living exactly the way I had lived in the
past.’ The mendicant said, ‘I knew it will recur.
Because the mistakes are not in the action but in
the intention.’’
The other options (a), (c) and (e) are completely
irrelevant.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (b).

76. (b);The answer for the question can be derived from
the last paragraph where the following sentences
appear.
‘You do the same things you did in the past and so
you remain the same as you were. Life gives you
many chances. But you cheat yourself by blaming
the circumstances.’
Among the given options, the option (b) is the
correct answer.
7. (a); Despair [noun] means ‘the complete loss or
absence of hope’;
Anguish [noun] means ‘the complete loss or
absence of hope’;
Allergy [noun] means ‘A damaging immune
response by the body to a substance, especially a
particular food, pollen, fur, or dust, to which it has
become hypersensitive’;
Among the given options, clearly, ‘hope’ is the
antonym of ‘despair’.
78. (c); tainted [adjective] (participle) means
‘contaminated’;
Among the given options, the option (c) ‘cheap’ is
the correct answer.
The correct answer is the option (c).
79. (a); ‘latent’ [adjective] means ‘(of a quality or state)
existing but not yet developed or manifest;
hidden or concealed’;
Duck [verb] means ‘lower the head or the body
quickly to avoid a blow or missile or so as not to
be seen.
Eccentric [adjective] means ‘(of a person or their
behavior) unconventional and slightly strange.
Among the given options, the correct answer
would be the option (a) ‘unused’.
80. (e); Atonement [noun] means ‘the action of making
amends for a wrong or injury; reconciliation;
Among the given options, the option (e)
‘reconciliation’ is the correct answer.
81. (c); The usage of the preposition ‘on’ is incorrect as
per the context of the question. Moreover, an
article is missing before the noun-phrase ‘long
run’.
Among the given options, only alternative (III) is
the correct phrase to replace the highlighted part.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
14 Adda247 Publications
82. (a); The apostrophe ‘s with everybody is wrong
because of the presence of the word ‘else’. Now,
the ‘s should be used with the ‘else’.
Among the given alternatives, the alternative (I)
is correct and hence, option (a) is the correct
answer.
83. (b);In the construction ‘Noun + Preposition + Noun’,
both the nouns neighboring the preposition
should be singular nouns. So, there is no error in
the phrase ‘day after day’. But, there is an error in
the phrase ‘five-rupees note’. In the phrase, ‘five-
rupees’ is an adjective, not noun. So, the word
‘rupees’ should be singular. The correct phrase
should be ‘five-rupee’.
Among the given alternatives, the correct
alternative is the alternative (III) and hence, the
correct answer is option (b).
84. (d);The highlighted phrase is erroneous. The use of
the article ‘a’ is wrong. The correct article to be
used is ‘the’. Moreover, the use of the helping ‘am’
is incorrect because when two pronouns are
joined by a conjunction ‘and’, the verb will be
plural.
The correct phrase will be ‘You and I are the part’,
so the alternative (III) is correct and hence, the
option (d) is the correct answer.
85. (e); The highlighted phrase is grammatically correct
and doesn’t required further correction.
In sentences where the subject is ‘everybody,
somebody, nobody, anybody, someone, no one,
everyone, anyone, everything, something,
nothing, anything’, the verb is singular.
86. (b);Among the starters, only starter (i) is the correct
answer. The starters (ii) and (iii) are irrelevant.
‘How to have painless labor during the birth of a
child has been a very old problem.’
Hence, the option (b) is the correct answer.
87. (a); Among the given alternatives, the alternative (iii)
is the most relevant and could successfully form a
grammatically correct and contextually
meaningful sentence. The other two alternatives
are irrelevant and out of context.
Hence, the option (a) is the correct answer.
‘Scriptures have given to us the concept of
Purushartha Chatushtaya, the ultimate objective
of which is every human being should strive to
attain Self-realisation.’

88. (c); Among the given alternatives, only alternative (ii)
is the most relevant and is the correct answer. The
