On the morrow, nothing was talked of in Paris but the ball which the aldermen of the city were to give to
the king and queen, and in which their Majesties were to dance the famous La Merlaison— the favorite
ballet of the king.
Eight days had been occupied in preparations at the Hotel de Ville for this important evening. The city
carpenters had erected scaffolds upon which the invited ladies were to be placed; the city grocer had
ornamented the chambers with two hundred flambeaux of white wax, a piece of luxury unheard of at that
period; and twenty violins were ordered, and the price for them fixed at double the usual rate, upon
condition, said the report, that they should be played all night.
At ten o’clock in the morning the Sieur de la Coste, ensign in the king’s Guards, followed by two officers
and several archers of that body, came to the city registrar, named Clement, and demanded of him all the
keys of the rooms and offices of the hotel. These keys were given up to him instantly. Each of them had
ticket attached to it, by which it might be recognized; and from that moment the Sieur de la Coste was
charged with the care of all the doors and all the avenues.
At eleven o’clock came in his turn Duhallier, captain of the Guards, bringing with him fifty archers, who
were distributed immediately through the Hotel de Ville, at the doors assigned them.
At three o’clock came two companies of the Guards, one French, the other Swiss. The company of French
guards was composed of half of M. Duhallier’s men and half of M. Dessessart’s men.
At six in the evening the guests began to come. As fast as they entered, they were placed in the grand
saloon, on the platforms prepared for them.
At nine o’clock Madame la Premiere Presidente arrived. As next to the queen, she was the most
considerable personage of the fete, she was received by the city officials, and placed in a box opposite to
that which the queen was to occupy.

At ten o’clock, the king’s collation, consisting of preserves and other delicacies, was prepared in the little
room on the side of the church of St. Jean, in front of the silver buffet of the city, which was guarded by
four archers.
At midnight great cries and loud acclamations were heard. It was the king, who was passing through the
streets which led from the Louvre to the Hotel de Ville, and which were all illuminated with colored
lanterns.
Immediately the aldermen, clothed in their cloth robes and preceded by six sergeants, each holding a
flambeau in his hand, went to attend upon the king, whom they met on the steps, where the provost of the
merchants made him the speech of welcome—a compliment to which his Majesty replied with an apology
for coming so late, laying the blame upon the cardinal, who had detained him till eleven o’clock, talking of
affairs of state.
His Majesty, in full dress, was accompanied by his royal Highness, M. le Comte de Soissons, by the Grand
Prior, by the Duc de Longueville, by the Duc d’Euboeuf, by the Comte d’Harcourt, by the Comte de la
Roche-Guyon, by M. de Liancourt, by M. de Baradas, by the Comte de Cramail, and by the Chevalier de
Souveray. Everybody noticed that the king looked dull and preoccupied.
A private room had been prepared for the king and another for Monsieur. In each of these closets were
placed masquerade dresses. The same had been done for the queen and Madame the President. The
nobles and ladies of their Majesties’ suites were to dress, two by two, in chambers prepared for the
purpose. Before entering his closet, the king desired to be informed the moment the cardinal arrived.
Half an hour after the entrance of the king, fresh acclamations were heard; these announced the arrival of
the queen. The aldermen did as they had done before, and preceded by their sergeants, advanced to
receive their illustrious guest. The queen entered the great hall; and it was remarked that, like the king,
she looked dull and even weary.
At the moment she entered, the curtain of a small gallery which to that time had been closed, was drawn,
and the pale face of the cardinal appeared, he being dressed as a Spanish cavalier. His eyes were fixed
upon those of the queen, and a smile of terrible joy passed over his lips; the queen did not wear her
diamond studs.

locations. So, we can say that the king travelled through the streets. Hence, the correct answer is C.
2. B
Sol.

meals allowed on days of fasting. Hence, the correct answer is B.
3. D

4. A
Sol. The King's Guard was "charged with the care of all the doors and all the avenues". This was a provision
made for this special occasion. But the passage doesn’t simplify what the tickets were exactly for. Since
ticket system is applied to distinguish between keys, we can say that they may help the King's Guard to
know which key opens which door. Also, the King's Guard is the king's personal bodyguard. The only
reason they took this job was that the king was visiting the hotel. So, options a & b are correct. We can
count keys without distinguishing between them. Hence, the correct answer is A.
5. B
Sol. "…demanded of him all the keys…" and "…given up to him instantly", indicates that the city supervisor
had an obligation to follow the King's Guard's "demands". It is understood that the command has to be
followed without any separate instructions. So, only c is correct. Hence, the correct answer is option B.

lavishly. Hence, the correct answer is E.
7. C
Sol. Hyperbole means exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
Imagery means visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work.
Oxymoron means a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.

or vices, particularly in the context
of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

happiness. These two are contradictory in nature. Hence, the correct answer is C.
8. D
Sol. The ball was the most discussed topic in the days leading up to the ball. When such unrestrained casual
conversation happens among the people, it is called gossip. Such stories are understandable (unlike
babble) but are not confirmed to be true. Hence, the correct answer is D.
9. E
Sol. The passage just mentions "Everybody noticed that the king looked dull and preoccupied" but provides no
reason behind the same. Hence, the correct answer is E.
10. A
Sol. Efficiency means the good use of time and energy in a way that does not waste any.
Obligation an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound.
Duty means a task or action that one is required to perform as part of one's job.

Responsibility means the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over
someone.
Improvisation means the act of making or doing something with whatever is available at the time.
In the given sentence, the action of the aldermen is being described, not the reason behind it. Only option
A & E can be used to describe such actions. But the aldermen were good at their job and nothing went
wrong. So, no requirement of improvisation. Besides, being efficient means '(of a person) working in a
well-organized and competent way'. The statement mentions 'did as they had done before'. Hence, the
correct answer is A.
11. B
Sol. The error lies in the second part of the sentence. Note that with ‘has’ we need the verb in its third form.
So, it should be ‘begun’ in place of ‘began’.
12. A
Sol. The error lies in the first part of the sentence. Note that the use of the verb ‘starts’ is incorrect. We need a
gerund here, so it should be ‘starting’ to state a process.
13. C
Sol. The error lies in the third part of the sentence. The use of the preposition ‘on’ is incorrect. We need to
replace it with ‘in’ to rectify it.
14. A
Sol. The error lies in part A. As the sentence talks about the plural subject, the verb should also be plural. So, it
should be ‘have’ in place of ‘has’.
15. A
Sol. The error lies in the first part of the sentence. Note that ‘them’ has been wrongly used. We need to replace
it with ‘those’ to rectify the sentence.
16. E
Sol. The best word for the blank will be an adverb that qualifies the verb ‘squeezed’, and denotes the quality of
the orange juice. Thus, option E, ‘freshly’, is the correct answer.
Sol. ‘Fools’, ‘trouble’, and ‘shame’ are nouns and are unsuitable in the blank. In the blank, an adjective should
come and ‘ugly’ is the only adjective among the given options.
Hence, "ugly" is the correct answer.
19. E
Sol. We use “have + the past participle of the verb” to form the present perfect tense, a tense that indicates
that an action was completed. Here, the electric vehicles have already evolved. Thus, option E is the
correct answer.
20. D
Sol. The speaker is talking about few great personalities and what they have done to India. One cannot use
preposition ‘to’ with the noun ‘description’. Out of all the options, only option D makes sense contextually
as the great people have contributed to India. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
21. D
Sol. From the given segments it is clear that the sentence talks about how students would feel at a certain
time.
It should start with segment B which points out certain time period. It should be followed by part C which
mentions how students feel during this time. In third position segment A comes as it points out the reason
why students feel overwhelmed. Parts D and E comes in the fourth and fifth position respectfully to round
up the sentence. The logical sequence that we get is BCADE.
Correct Sentence – Midway through a semester, students are likely to feel overwhelmed with the amount
of homework they have to finish each day.
22. C
Sol. From the given segments it is clear that the sentence talks about ‘skill development’ and why it is a priority
for the Indian Government.
It should start with segment E which introduces the topic. It should be followed by part A which mentions
whose priority it is viz., the Government of India. In third position segment D comes as it points out how it
is considered critical. Parts C and B comes in the fourth and fifth position respectfully to round up the
sentence as they mention the reason behind it being critical. The logical sequence that we get is EADCB.

and is considered critical not only for achieving faster growth but also growth that is sustainable and
inclusive.
23. C
Sol. From the given segments it is clear that the sentence talks about a certain claim made by naval architects
and how a certain incident shouldn’t have happened even with this claim.
It should start with segment C which introduces the topic which deals with how naval architects do not
claim something. What they do not claim is mentioned in part D which comes in the second spot. The
logical sequence that we get is CD.
This sequence is listed only under option C followed by EAB , making it the correct answer.
Correct Sentence – Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the
passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened.
24. B
Sol. From the given segments it is clear that the sentence talks about our realizations regarding diseases.
It should start with segment D which introduces the topic of how something is being influenced by our
increase in knowledge. With increase in knowledge, realization occurs, so part E should come in the
second spot. The logical sequence that we get is DE.
This sequence is listed only under option B followed by ABC, making it the correct answer.
Correct Sentence – As our knowledge increased, we realized what causes disease, and what can be
done to prevent it.
25. C
Sol. From the given segments it is clear that the sentence talks about a certain statistic.
It should start with segment A which mentions a number or ratio. It should be followed by what this ratio is
related to, which is part B. Part C that talks about how someone has experienced something should come
in the third spot. What they have experienced is mentioned in part D which comes in the fourth spot.
Where they have experienced said violence is mentioned in part E which comes in the fifth spot.
www.byjusexamprep.com
This sequence we get is ABCDE, listed under option C, making it the correct answer.
Correct Sentence – About two in five currently married women have experienced spousal violence in
their current marriage.
26. D
Sol. The position of the emboldened words, 2 and 4, is incorrect.
‘Each’ should be followed by a singular noun. Also, ‘were’ should be followed by the third form of the verb.
Therefore, ‘discarded’ and ‘trial’ should be exchanged to make the sentence grammatically and
contextually correct.
‘Be’ should be followed by the third form of the verb. Moreover, an adjective is needed at (1) to modify the
noun ‘reporting systems’. Also, an infinitive is required at (3) to maintain parallelism with ‘handle’
Therefore, ‘establish’ and ‘anonymous’ should be exchanged to make the sentence grammatically and
contextually correct.
A participle is needed after ‘were’. Also, ‘these’ should be followed by a plural noun.
Therefore, ‘studies’ and ‘committed’ should be exchanged to make the sentence grammatically and
contextually correct.
b. being the primary cause of something and so able to be blamed or credited for it.
Both these meanings make 1 and 3 meaningful. In sentence 2, however, the word must be replaced with
‘response’ as it refers to the reaction of the audience.
30. C
Sol. The word buoy carries several meanings:
1) An anchored float serving as a navigation mark, to show reefs or other hazards, or for mooring.
2) Keep (someone or something) afloat.
3) To be encouraged.
Among these, the meaning given in 1 makes statement 2 correct and the one given in 3 makes statement
2 correct.
In statement 3, wealth or influence is being talked about, thus, the word “buoy” is not appropriate.

Questions
1. Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Certain words are
printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of these.
On the morrow, nothing was talked of in Paris but the ball which the aldermen of the city were to give to
the king and queen, and in which their Majesties were to dance the famous La Merlaison— the favorite
ballet of the king.
Eight days had been occupied in preparations at the Hotel de Ville for this important evening. The city
carpenters had erected scaffolds upon which the invited ladies were to be placed; the city grocer had
ornamented the chambers with two hundred flambeaux of white wax, a piece of luxury unheard of at that
period; and twenty violins were ordered, and the price for them fixed at double the usual rate, upon
condition, said the report, that they should be played all night.
At ten o’clock in the morning the Sieur de la Coste, ensign in the king’s Guards, followed by two officers
and several archers of that body, came to the city registrar, named Clement, and demanded of him all the
keys of the rooms and offices of the hotel. These keys were given up to him instantly. Each of them had
ticket attached to it, by which it might be recognized; and from that moment the Sieur de la Coste was
charged with the care of all the doors and all the avenues.
At eleven o’clock came in his turn Duhallier, captain of the Guards, bringing with him fifty archers, who
were distributed immediately through the Hotel de Ville, at the doors assigned them.
At three o’clock came two companies of the Guards, one French, the other Swiss. The company of French
guards was composed of half of M. Duhallier’s men and half of M. Dessessart’s men.
At six in the evening the guests began to come. As fast as they entered, they were placed in the grand
saloon, on the platforms prepared for them.
At nine o’clock Madame la Premiere Presidente arrived. As next to the queen, she was the most
considerable personage of the fete, she was received by the city officials, and placed in a box opposite to
that which the queen was to occupy.
www.byjusexamprep.com
At ten o’clock, the king’s collation, consisting of preserves and other delicacies, was prepared in the little
room on the side of the church of St. Jean, in front of the silver buffet of the city, which was guarded by
four archers.
At midnight great cries and loud acclamations were heard. It was the king, who was passing through the
streets which led from the Louvre to the Hotel de Ville, and which were all illuminated with colored
lanterns.
Immediately the aldermen, clothed in their cloth robes and preceded by six sergeants, each holding a
flambeau in his hand, went to attend upon the king, whom they met on the steps, where the provost of the
merchants made him the speech of welcome—a compliment to which his Majesty replied with an apology
for coming so late, laying the blame upon the cardinal, who had detained him till eleven o’clock, talking of
affairs of state.
His Majesty, in full dress, was accompanied by his royal Highness, M. le Comte de Soissons, by the Grand
Prior, by the Duc de Longueville, by the Duc d’Euboeuf, by the Comte d’Harcourt, by the Comte de la
Roche-Guyon, by M. de Liancourt, by M. de Baradas, by the Comte de Cramail, and by the Chevalier de
Souveray. Everybody noticed that the king looked dull and preoccupied.
A private room had been prepared for the king and another for Monsieur. In each of these closets were
placed masquerade dresses. The same had been done for the queen and Madame the President. The
nobles and ladies of their Majesties’ suites were to dress, two by two, in chambers prepared for the
purpose. Before entering his closet, the king desired to be informed the moment the cardinal arrived.
Half an hour after the entrance of the king, fresh acclamations were heard; these announced the arrival of
the queen. The aldermen did as they had done before, and preceded by their sergeants, advanced to
receive their illustrious guest. The queen entered the great hall; and it was remarked that, like the king,
she looked dull and even weary.
At the moment she entered, the curtain of a small gallery which to that time had been closed, was drawn,
and the pale face of the cardinal appeared, he being dressed as a Spanish cavalier. His eyes were fixed
upon those of the queen, and a smile of terrible joy passed over his lips; the queen did not wear her
diamond studs.

Solutions
1. C
Sol. Exude means (of a person) display (an emotion or quality) strongly and openly.
Present means to appear formally before others.
Traverse means to travel across or through.
Appear means to come into sight or become visible or noticeable.
Insinuate means to slide (oneself or a thing) slowly and smoothly into a particular place.
The king was travelling from the Louvre to the Hotel de Ville. The streets were in between these two
locations. So, we can say that the king travelled through the streets. Hence, the correct answer is C.
2. B
Sol.
"…preserves and other delicacies…" refer to food items. The term collation refers to one or two light
meals allowed on days of fasting. Hence, the correct answer is B.
3. D
Sol. Commissioned means to bring (something newly produced) into working condition.
Inducted means to admit (someone) formally to a post or organization.\
Identified means to establish or indicate who or what (someone or something) is.
Seated means to arrange for (someone) to sit somewhere.
Allocated means to distribute (resources or duties) for a particular purpose.
"… invited ladies…" are guests of high status. They need proper seating. Hence, the correct answer is D.
4. A
Sol. The King's Guard was "charged with the care of all the doors and all the avenues". This was a provision
made for this special occasion. But the passage doesn’t simplify what the tickets were exactly for. Since
ticket system is applied to distinguish between keys, we can say that they may help the King's Guard to
know which key opens which door. Also, the King's Guard is the king's personal bodyguard. The only
reason they took this job was that the king was visiting the hotel. So, options a & b are correct. We can
count keys without distinguishing between them. Hence, the correct answer is A.
5. B
Sol. "…demanded of him all the keys…" and "…given up to him instantly", indicates that the city supervisor
had an obligation to follow the King's Guard's "demands". It is understood that the command has to be
followed without any separate instructions. So, only c is correct. Hence, the correct answer is option B.
www.byjusexamprep.com
6. E
Sol. Mundane means (something) lacking in interest or excitement.
Astute means having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people and turn this to one's
advantage
Spurious means to (something) not being what it purports to be.
Boisterous means to noisy, energetic, and cheerful.
Extravagant means to (something) lacking restraint in spending money or using resources.
"Everybody noticed that the king looked dull and preoccupied." and "she looked dull and even weary", tell
us that the ball wasn't cheery. The second paragraph is full of examples which show the money was spent
lavishly. Hence, the correct answer is E.
7. C
Sol. Hyperbole means exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
Imagery means visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work.
Oxymoron means a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.
Satire means the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity
or vices, particularly in the context
of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
Metaphor means a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it
is not literally applicable.
Terrible means (something) extremely bad or serious and joy means a feeling of great pleasure and
happiness. These two are contradictory in nature. Hence, the correct answer is C.
8. D
Sol. The ball was the most discussed topic in the days leading up to the ball. When such unrestrained casual
conversation happens among the people, it is called gossip. Such stories are understandable (unlike
babble) but are not confirmed to be true. Hence, the correct answer is D.
9. E
Sol. The passage just mentions "Everybody noticed that the king looked dull and preoccupied" but provides no
reason behind the same. Hence, the correct answer is E.
10. A
Sol. Efficiency means the good use of time and energy in a way that does not waste any.
Obligation an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound.
Duty means a task or action that one is required to perform as part of one's job.
www.byjusexamprep.com
Responsibility means the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over
someone.
Improvisation means the act of making or doing something with whatever is available at the time.
In the given sentence, the action of the aldermen is being described, not the reason behind it. Only option
A & E can be used to describe such actions. But the aldermen were good at their job and nothing went
wrong. So, no requirement of improvisation. Besides, being efficient means '(of a person) working in a
well-organized and competent way'. The statement mentions 'did as they had done before'. Hence, the
correct answer is A.
11. B
Sol. The error lies in the second part of the sentence. Note that with ‘has’ we need the verb in its third form.
So, it should be ‘begun’ in place of ‘began’.
12. A
Sol. The error lies in the first part of the sentence. Note that the use of the verb ‘starts’ is incorrect. We need a
gerund here, so it should be ‘starting’ to state a process.
13. C
Sol. The error lies in the third part of the sentence. The use of the preposition ‘on’ is incorrect. We need to
replace it with ‘in’ to rectify it.
14. A
Sol. The error lies in part A. As the sentence talks about the plural subject, the verb should also be plural. So, it
should be ‘have’ in place of ‘has’.
15. A
Sol. The error lies in the first part of the sentence. Note that ‘them’ has been wrongly used. We need to replace
it with ‘those’ to rectify the sentence.

contextually correct.
‘Be’ should be followed by the third form of the verb. Moreover, an adjective is needed at (1) to modify the
noun ‘reporting systems’. Also, an infinitive is required at (3) to maintain parallelism with ‘handle’
Therefore, ‘establish’ and ‘anonymous’ should be exchanged to make the sentence grammatically and
contextually correct.
A participle is needed after ‘were’. Also, ‘these’ should be followed by a plural noun.
Therefore, ‘studies’ and ‘committed’ should be exchanged to make the sentence grammatically and
contextually correct.
