habitats. As a graceful animal that was hunted and _____________ (19) in the country in the
20th century, the cat has periodically inspired campaigns for a fresh introduction
mainly inspired by the nationalistic sense of loss. Remarkably, the _____________ (20) of the
high-speed hunter that formed part of Mughal hunting groups has been a matter of
scientific debate, with much literature ______________ (21) the origins of the Asiatic cheetah
to about 200,000 years ago, and one recent hypothesis arguing, in contrast, that it

Direction (23-30): Reading Comprehension (food crises during Russia

Ukraine war)
Solution
Direction (1-5):
1. Ans. (b)
Sol. Here, the error lies in part (A) of the sentence where we will replaced ‘very’ with
‘more’. There is a sense of comparison in the sentence which implies the usage of ‘more
easily than’ instead of ‘very easily than’. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer
choice.
2. Ans. (a)
Sol. Here, the error lies in part (B) of the statement where ‘with’ will be replaced by
‘from’ because the correct usage is ‘free somebody from something’ or ‘free from
something’. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.
3. Ans. (b)
Sol. Among the given options, the error lies in part (B) of the statement, where
‘comprised’ will not be followed by ‘of’. ‘Comprised’ itself means ‘consist of’ Hence,
option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.
4. Ans. (c)
Sol. Here the error lies in part (B) of the sentence where we will replace ‘band’ with
‘bands’. The correct structure of the sentence will be “One of the + Plural Noun/
Pronoun + Singular Verb + ...... ”. Hence, option (c) is the most suitable answer choice.
5. Ans. (d)
Sol. Here, the error lies in part (C) of the sentence where we will replace ‘excel with’ by
‘excel in’. ‘Excel in something’ is the correct prepositional usage. Hence, option (d) is the
most suitable answer choice.
Direction (6-9)
6. Ans. b
Exp. Among the given phrases “who have a favourable view of” could successfully
replace the highlighted phrase, considering that the helping verb has been used for
‘leaders’ and will therefore be in plural form. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable
answer choice.
7. Ans. d
Exp. Among the given phrases “one translates Immanuel Wallerstein’s world systems”
could successfully replace the highlighted phrase. Hence, option (d) is the most suitable
answer choice.
8. Ans. a
Exp. Among the given phrases “Worldwide is on creating a circular economy” could
successfully replace the highlighted phrase. Here, ‘creation’ (noun) must be replaced
with ‘creating’ (verb), to make the statement grammatically correct. Hence, option (a) is
the most suitable answer choice.
9. Ans. b
Exp. Among the given phrases “served as a reminder of the status accorded to” could
successfully replace the highlighted phrase. The given highlighted phrase has an error of
preposition where ‘accorded’ must be followed by ‘to’ instead of ‘for’. Hence, option (b)
is the most suitable answer choice.
Direction (10-13):
10.Ans. d
Exp. In the given sentence, the words ‘available’ and ‘additional’ at their current position
are unable to add a meaningful sense to the sentence. So, they need to be changed to
make the given sentence contextually meaningful. Hence, the correct answer choice
would be option (d)
11. Ans. b
Exp. Taking hint from the use of the verb ‘were’ after ‘Kashmir’ it can be clearly seen
that use of the word ‘Kashmir’ in its current position is incorrect and need to be
changed with a plural word which is ‘restrictions’. Hence, the correct answer choice
would be option (b)
12. Ans. e
Exp. Highlighted words in the given sentence are correct in their current position.
Hence, the correct answer choice would be option (e)
13. Ans. d
Exp. In the given sentence, the use of ‘deliberated’ and ‘comprehensive’ is incorrect in
their current position because they fail to impart a valid meaning to the given sentence.
