Solutions

S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. The given part of the sentence is mentioning about the forthcoming of the branded generic drug (Gefitinib). Therefore, the latter part of the sentence must describe about the effects after its availability to the patients. Therefore, expressions (II) and (III) are perfectly satisfying this criterion. However, expression (I) stands incoherent to the context of the sentence. Hence, option (a) becomes the most viable answer choice.

S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. The given part of the sentence is describing about the unsuccessful marriages of the couples. Only expression (I) fits appropriately forming a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence. However, expression (II) and (III) contain grammatical errors. In expression (II), since the third person pronoun ‘they’ is used, the possessive determiner associated to it should also in third person. Therefore, usage of second person possessive determiner ‘your’ is incorrect. Moreover, expression (III) contains an idiomatic error. The correct idiom is ‘flogging a dead horse’ means to continue a particular endeavour is a waste of time as the outcome is already decided. Since, only expression (I) makes the sentence contextually meaningful, it becomes the most suitable answer choice.

S3. Ans. (c)
Sol. The given part of the sentence is describing the outcomes of a report on angioplasty. It mentions about stenting (placing a temporarily duct inside a blood vessel) of heart blockages. Thus, the latter part of the sentence must describe effects of this action. Both expression (I) and (III) are satisfying this criterion, forming a comprehensive and grammatically correct sentence. However, expression (II) fails to fit in the sentence as it contains grammatical error. Since, the sentence mentions a single activity “stenting all blockages in the heart”, the usage of the plural noun ‘causes’ stands incorrect. Therefore,
option (c) becomes the most viable answer choice.

S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. Among the given expressions, all three of them fit in the sentence appropriately forming a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence. Hence, option (d) becomes the most feasible answer choice.

S5. Ans. (e)
Sol. None of the given expressions complete the sentence in an appropriate context and grammatical syntax. Since, none of the expressions fit in the sentence, option (e) becomes the most viable answer choice.

S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. Dependent can fill the given blank to make it a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S7. Ans. (a)
Sol. Restored can fill the given blank to make it a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence. Hence, option (a) is the right answer choice.

S8. Ans. (c)

S9. Ans. (d)
Sol. Register can fill the given blank to make it a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S10. Ans. (b)
Sol. Outstanding can fill the given blank to make it a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.

S11. Ans. (b)
Sol. Urging can fill in the blank (11) to make it a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.

S12. Ans. (c)
Sol. Withdraw can fill in the blank (12) to make it a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S13. Ans. (a)
Sol. Onslaught can fill in the blank (13) to make it a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Hence, option (a) is the right answer choice.

S14. Ans. (d)
Sol. Impugned can fill in the blank (14) to make it a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S15. Ans. (c)
Sol. Appeasing can fill in the blank (15) to make it a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.
