ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL

Answer:

1. Ans: E
Explanation:
All three words can be used to show the relationship between mortality rate and life expectancy rate
as per the given sentence.

Negatively correlated: This term means that as one variable (mortality rates)

increases, the other variable (life expectancies) decreases, and vice versa.
Cause-and-effect relationship: This term refers to a relationship between two variables where a
change in one variable (mortality rates) directly causes a change in the other variables (life
expectancies).

Counterbalancing factors: This term refers to factors that work against each other to create a
balance. In the case of mortality rates and life expectancies, mortality rates and life expectancies are
counterbalancing factors as they work against each other to create a balance between the number of
deaths and the length of life.

2. Ans: B

Explanation:
Sentence a: can be inferred
All the problems associated with population increase listed in the sentence are because of an
overuse of available resources.

Sentence b: can be inferred

Rise in global temperature is one of the ways in which climate change affects people, and the
sentence clearly mentions ‘climate change’ as one of the many problems associated with increasing
population.

Sentence c: cannot be inferred

This sentence contradicts the given statement
Stamp out: to put an end to something or eliminate something completely

3. Ans: A
ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL

Explanation:
Sentence a: can be assumed
As the sentence states that because of medical technology more and more people are able to survive
illness and injuries, we can assume that medical technology is affordable and easily accessible to the
people.

Sentence b: cannot be assumed

The sentence clearly mentions that diseases nowadays are not as fatal as they used to be in the
past, therefore, no assumption is made here. The given statement mentions the same thing.

Sentence c: cannot be assumed

Nothing about the medical technology of India is mentioned in the statement.

4. Ans: C

Explanation:
Both m and p contain errors.
Part m- In this case, the sentence is referring to the fact that there are now more people than there
were before, implying an increase in population.

On the other hand, "many" is used to indicate a large but specific number of people or things, rather
than a comparison between two quantities.

Part p-The verb "have" should be replaced with "has" because "strain" is a singular subject and
requires a singular verb.

5. Ans: D

Explanation:
Amelioration means the act of making something better or improving a situation)

Ascendance means the act of rising or moving up, often in terms of social or economic status)

However, ‘aggravation’ is an antonym of ‘amelioration.’

6. Ans: D
Explanation:
ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL

The correct sequence is as follows: In addition, access to healthcare has improved in many parts of
the world, further reducing mortality rates.

7. Ans: A

Explanation:
Further is used to indicate an additional or continued action.
But is used to indicate a contrast or a contradiction.
Nonetheless is used to indicate that something is true despite what was said before or despite a
difficult situation.
The given sentence provides contradictory ideas, where one part is talking about cultural exchange
and diversity, the other part highlights social and economic tensions.

8. Ans: D
Explanation:
Bring about: To cause something to happen, especially a change or an

improvement.
Bring out: To reveal or make visible something that was previously hidden or

not noticed.
Call for: to require or demand something

9. Ans: C
Explanation:
Multifaceted: This word is used to describe a person, an object, or a situation that has many different
qualities, characteristics, or dimensions.

Monolithic: This word refers to something that is massive, solid, and unchanging.

Multitonal: This word refers to something that has many different tones or colors.

10.Answer: B
The correct sequence: XSQPRUWTV
