Solutions
S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. The correct answer is option a.
The proper arrangement is – BCAD
B – It is the opening sentence as it introduces the topic by informing about the role of the teacher.
C – It explains why the role of teacher is important. Hence it comes after sentence B.
A – It informs more about the teacher.
D – It concludes by stating that teachers must be given proper training so that they can act as parents to the children away from their homes.
S2. Ans. (c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.
The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
In the given sentence, the subject is ` Teacher’ and the subject performs some action
(solved the doubts of the students)
Now we have to convert it into passive voice.
Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does
nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the
verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the
object.
The sentence thus formed is – The doubts of the students had been solved by the Teacher.
S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.
Fatalist – A person who believes that events are decided by fate and cannot be controlled.
Option (b) portrays the same meaning as that of the given group of words & hence it is the correct choice.
S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
The word that can be filled in the blank is ` Urged’.
As per the context, the word ` Urged’ fits in very well & hence, it is the correct
choice.
S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.

correct choice.
S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
The correct spelling is ‘Constituency’.
Remaining words are spelt correctly.
S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
The error lies in part c of the sentence.
Replace ‘Faints’ with ‘Fainted’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The expression ‘no sooner…than’ is used to suggest that one action or situation takes place/took place immediately after another action or situation.
In the given sentence, the 1st action is – read the newspaper (past action). Usage of ‘Did’ is a hint here. Thus, the 2nd action must also be in the same tense.
Faints – It is a third-person singular simple present indicative form of faint.
Fainted is the past form of the verb ‘Faint’ which is appropriate here.

Sol. The correct answer is option b.
Replace, ‘A week-longer’ with ‘A week-long’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
