Explanation: In the first sentence, the validity of
assistance of electronic evidence is pointed out,
so that appropriate legislature is needed. At the
same time, the first sentence blurts out the truth

Despite is a negative word which will not be a
match for two supporting statements.
The correct sentences are

with appropriate legislation on presentation and

Pointing out that, most crimes in the present day
get solved with the assistance of electronic
evidence such as CCTV footage, The judges
hoped that the legislature would come up with
appropriate legislation on presentation and
admissibility of such evidence
7) Answer: A
Since the above sentence talks about the
implementation of a punishable law, it comes
under the police department and police
intervention is needed. Here the police are
accepting and reviewing the law hence denying
it will not be correct.
The correct sentence is
While the police do intervene, when a cognizable
offence punishable under law is made out and

assist the complainants in getting legal remedy,
Nothing much is done when the matters
involving claims to the title of a property is taken
as a civil dispute.
8) Answer: B

been classified, they are arduously following

few communities in India which follow ancestral
worship as their main religious belief and ritual.
9) Answer: B
This is not the first time that a city has recorded
lower voter turnout, hence we can predict such
things that too in Bengaluru. Option (a) will not
come as election is held 4 years once only.
Predictably, Bengaluru’s turnout in the 28
constituencies that come under it remained
dismal at an estimated 54%, despite a campaign
blitz by several national leaders and several
drives by the election commission to enthuse
urban voters.
10) Answer: B
The above two sentences have an idea and the
purpose of that idea must be used as it is used
to express the purpose of something. Being an
infinite verb, it must be used to express the crux

of the idea.
In order to curb the menace of pesky calls and
SMS, TRAI has directed telecos to develop a
unified platform, which will be ready in two
months to seek, maintain and revoke customers
consent for promotional calls and messages.
11. Answer: A
The above paragraph is about a team of
Chennai Customs officers who were on patrol
when they noticed the Olive Ridley turtle that got
stuck in a fishing net, struggling for life...
Statement B is the opening sentence as it
introduces the paragraph by mentioning the
video which was shared by the Chennai
Customs about the Olive Ridley turtle.Statement
B is then followed by statement E which
describes the incident further. Statement E is
then followed by statement D which describes
the Olive Ridley turtle struggling for life. Fourth
statement will be A as it talks about how the
Chennai Customs spotted the sea turtle.
Statement C is the concluding statement as it
describes how the officials could save the life of
the Olive Ridley turtle.
The correct rearrangement will be- BEDAC
