Answers & Explanations

Answers:
1.) A.) “me”. The appropriate pronoun should be in the nominative case so the answer
should be “I” not “me”.
2.) B.) “to preside”. The sentence follows a parallel construction of verbals. “To preside”
must be changed to “presiding” to sustain parallel use of a series of verbals (in this
case, gerunds)
3.) C.) “have”. The subject of the sentence ‘Supreme Court” is taken as a singular subject
and the verb that should follow it should also be singular; “Have” should be changed to
“has”.
4.) D.) “raises”. The correct word should be “rises”. To “raise” means to move to a higher
place; to “rise” means to increase.
5.) D.) “identifies”. In a sentence that uses subjects with “or”, the subject closest to the
verb that follows agrees with the noun’s number (whether it’s singular or plural). In this
case, the closest noun is “professors” is in plural, therefore the verb must also be
plural. Change “identifies” to “identify”. 6.) E.) No error.
7.) B.) “are”. Amounts expressed in word form and used as subjects are considered
singular. “Is” should be used to agree with “six hundred pesos” as a singular subject.
8.) D.) “subject”. The subjects are compound and therefore considered plural in form.
The word “subject” is a subject complement and therefore must also be in plural form.
The word must be changed to “subjects”.
9.) C.) “volunteers”. The subject in this sentence is plural. The verb should also be plural
form (volunteer).
10.) C.) “there was”. The correct answer should be “there were”. The group of words
“several kinds” indicates a clue to its plural form.
11.) C.) “rapid”. The word “rapidly” should be placed instead as it demonstrates the
adverb form that appropriately describes the verb phrase “has grown”.
12.) D.) “them”. This is an issue of the proper noun antecedent. The “message” which
was supposed to be taken is referred to in the singular as an “it”. Change “them” to “it”.
13.) B.) “redefine”. The verb should be in its past participle. The correct answer should
be “redefined”.
14.) B.) “their”. There should be appropriate pronoun antecedent with “us”. The correct
substitute should be “our”.
15.) A.) “have lain”. It should be “have laid”. The correct verb form “lay” suggests putting
something down in a horizontal position. The incorrect one whose past participle “lain”
used here suggests assuming a horizontal or resting position.
16.) B.) “has”. The correct helping verb should be “have” as the subject indicates a plural
form.
17.) B.) “have written”. The past participle should agree with the subject. The answer is
“had written”.
18.) E.) No error.
19.) A.) “come”. The correct verb should be “comes” to make it agree with the singular
pronoun “each”.
20.) B.) “is”. The correct answer is the verb “are” since the subject is in plural form.

1. B

“Terrestrial” means land. No choice here offers a synonym for “marine,” e.g.
nautical/naval/water/seagoing, and no other choices match either marine or
terrestrial.

2. A

“Quagmire” means literally a bog or marsh, and figuratively an involved situation

difficult to escape; entanglement is a synonym, more specifically similar than the
other choices.

3. A

Longitudes are imaginary geographical lines running north and south. Latitudes
run east and west. The other choices do not equal either latitude or longitude in
direction.

4. C

Topography means the physical features of a land mass. It does not mean
coastline (A), mountain range (B), or islands (D).

5. C
A peninsula is a piece of land connected to the mainland by an isthmus and
projecting into the ocean such that it is surrounded on three sides by water. A
peninsula is not a coast (A); it is not found inland (B); and it is not a border (D).

6. B

The passage was found near 50 degrees S latitude. Latitudes are measured
horizontally, in relation to the equator or central imaginary line, equidistant
between the North and South Poles. Longitudes are measured vertically.
Greenwich (A), the location of zero degrees longitude, adopted as the global
standard, is both incorrect and never named in the passage. Spain (C), Portugal
(D), and Madrid (E) in Spain are also incorrect.

7. A

Meridians are imaginary geographical circles intersecting the poles. Imaginary

lines parallel to the equator (B) are latitudes. The International Date Line is a
specific meridian, not an area (C). It is not a land mass (D) as it crosses both water
and land.

8. A

“Amicable” means friendly. It does not mean competitive (B), i.e. oppositional,
ambitious, or aggressive; courteous (C), i.e. polite; industrious (D), i.e. hard-
working; or chemistry (E): their collaboration was in physics, but moreover, the
passage specifically describes their collaboration as “amicable.”

9. B

“Blithe” means light-hearted. It does not mean strong (A), humorous (B) or funny;
strange (D), or envious (E).

Marie challenged authority by going to study at the Sorbonne, because Warsaw’s

university did not admit women. The passage indicates this challenge by
describing her “defiantly” leaving Poland for France; i.e., she was defying
authority. The passage does not indicate she showed intelligence (B), “behaved”
(C), or was distressed (D) or upset by her move.

12. A

A synonym for “despondently” is “dejectedly,” meaning sadly, with despair or

depression. The passage indicates this by describing Curie’s emotional state as
one of “heartbreaking anguish” over her husband’s sudden accidental death. She
is not described in this passage as worried (B) by her memories, or recalling them
tearfully (C), happily (D), or irefully (E), i.e. angrily.

13. C

The closest synonym for the “feeling of desolation” (despair) described in the
passage is wretchedness. Misfortune (A) or ill fate/luck is not as close. Anger (B) is
a separate emotion from desolation. Disappointment (D) is also different from
desolation, meaning feeling let-down rather than hopeless. Ambition (E) is drive
to succeed or accomplish things. It was not Curie’s ambition that faded upon
returning to the Sorbonne but her depression.

14. C

“Disillusioned” means disappointed. It does not mean troubled (A), i.e. concerned
or disturbed; worried (B) or anxious; sorrowful (D) or sad; or disturbed (E).

“Buoyant” means able to float. The passage indicates this by indicating that the
gases therefore, sank toward earth and suffocated people. Buoyant does not
mean visible (B) or possible to see. Able to float/buoyant does not mean able to
evaporate (C). Evaporation means turning to vapor, which only liquids can do.
Gases are already vapors. Buoyant does not mean invisible (D) or unseen. Able to
float does not mean able to condense (E), i.e. turn from vapor to liquid.

17. B

“Dissect” means to cut apart for study. It does not mean to describe in detail (A),
to photograph (C), or to chart (D) a specimen.

18. B

Meteorologists are scientists who study atmospheric conditions, particularly

weather. Scientists who study oceans (A) are oceanographers, i.e. marine
scientists. Scientists who study ash (C) do not exist as members of a separate
discipline. Climate scientists and many others concerned with its effects study
volcanic ash. Scientists who study animal behavior (D) are ethologists or animal
behaviorists and do not study ash.

19. C

Distilled water is purified water. Distilled water is not equivalent to bottled (A),
volcanic (B), sea (D), or fountain (E) water.

20. A

“Supremacy” means unlimited power, not unrestricted growth (B). The passage
states that Drake diminished Spain’s supremacy, but does not specifically
mention diminishing its territory (C). Drake’s raids enriched England and reduced
Spain’s power; no mention is made of eliminating any treaties (D).

24. A

The passage indicates the Armada was “blocked” on one side, i.e. closed off
rather than damaged (B) (it was damaged extensively, not on one side); alone (C)
or circled (D), i.e. surrounded, neither of which can be done on only one side.

received by the investor on his investment was?
A. Rs. 2,96,200

B. Rs. 2,42,200

C. Rs. 2,25,600

D. Rs. 2,16,000
Your Answer: Option C
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Amount received from Company P after one year (i.e., in 199) on investing Rs. 12 lakhs in it
= Rs. [12 + (8% of 12)] lakhs
= Rs. 12.96 lakhs.
Amount received from Company P after one year on investing Rs. 12.96 lakhs in the year 1999
= Rs. [12.96 + (10% of 12.96)] lakhs
= Rs. 14.256.
Appreciation received on investment during the period of two years
= Rs. (14.256 - 12) lakhs

= Rs. [5 + (6.5% of 5)] lakhs
= Rs. 5.325 lakhs.
Amount received from Company P after one year on investment of Rs. 5.325 lakhs in the year
1997
= Rs. [5.325 + (9% of 5.325)] lakhs

A. 4AH

B. 7AH

C. 32AH

D. 35AH
Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The total sales (in thousands) of all the seven years for various batteries are:
For 4AH = 75 + 90 + 96 + 105 + 90 + 105 + 115 = 676
For 7AH = 144 + 126 + 114 + 90 + 75 + 60 + 85 = 694
For 32AH = 114 + 102 + 75 + 150 + 135 + 165 + 160 = 901
For 35AH = 102 + 84 + 105 + 90 + 75 + 45 + 100 = 601
For 55AH = 108 + 126 + 135 + 75 + 90 + 120 + 145 = 799.
Clearly, sales are maximum in case of 32AH batteries.

2001?
A. 35,500

B. 27,000

C. 22,500

D. 17,500
Your Answer: Option A
 Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Total number of Q type cars produced in 2001
    =(60 - 40)% of 4,40,000 = 88,000.
Total number of Q type cars produced in 2000
    =(45 - 30)% of 3,50,000 = 52,500.
 Required difference = (88000 - 52500) = 35,500.

17. Total number of cars of models P, Q and T manufactured in 2000 is?

A. 2,45,000

B. 2,27,500

C. 2,10,000

D. 1,92,500
Your Answer: Option A
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Analysis of the graph:
We shall first determine the number of cars of each model produced by the Company during the
two years:

In 2000 : Total number of cars produced = 3,50,000.

P = (30 - 0)% of 3,50,000 = 30% of 3,50,000 = 1,05,000.
Q = (45 - 30)% of 3,50,000 = 15% of 3,50,000 = 52,500.
R = (65 - 45)% of 3,50,000 = 20% of 3,50,000 = 70,000.
S = (75 - 65)% of 3,50,000 = 10% of 3,50,000 = 35,000.
T = (90 - 75)% of 3,50,000 = 15% of 3,50,000 = 52,500.
U = (100 - 90)% of 3,50,000 = 10% of 3,50,000 = 35,000.

In 2001 : Total number of cars produced = 4,40,000.

P = (40 - 0)% of 4,40,000 = 40% of 4,40,000 = 1,76,000.
Q = (60 - 40)% of 4,40,000 = 20% of 4,40,000 = 88,000.
R = (75 - 60)% of 4,40,000 = 15% of 4,40,000 = 66,000.
S = (85 - 75)% of 4,40,000 = 10% of 4,40,000 = 44,000.
 T = (95 - 85)% of 4,40,000 = 10% of 4,40,000 = 44,000.
U = (100 - 95)% of 4,40,000 = 5% of 4,40,000 = 22,000.

Total number of cars of models P, Q and T manufacture in 2000

    = (105000 + 52500 + 52500)
    = 2,10,000.

18. If the percentage production of P type cars in 2001 was the same as that in 2000, then the
number of P type cars produced in 2001 would have been?
A. 1,40,000

B. 1,32,000

C. 1,17,000

D. 1,05,000
Your Answer: Option A
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
If the percentage production of P type cars in 2001
    = Percentage production of P type cars in 2000
    = 30%.
then, number of P type cars produced in 2001
    = 30% of 4,40,000
    = 1,32,000.

19. If 85% of the S type cars produced in each year were sold by the company, how many S type
cars remain unsold?
A. 7650

B. 9350

C. 11,850

D. 12,250
Your Answer: Option B
 Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2000 = 15% of 35,000
and number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2001 = 15% of 44,000.
 Total number of S type cars which remained unsold
    = 15% of (35,000 + 44,000)
    = 15% of 79,000
    = 11,850.

20. For which model the percentage rise/fall in production from 2000 to 2001 was minimum?
A. Q

B. R

C. S

D. T
Your Answer: Option A
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The percentage change (rise/fall) in production from 2000 to 2001 for various models is:
(176000 -
For P = 105000) x 100 % = 67.62%, rise.
105000
For Q (88000 - 52500)
x 100 % = 67.62%, rise.
= 52500
For R (70000 - 66000)
x 100 % = 5.71%, fall.
= 70000
(44000 - 35000)
For S = x 100 % = 25.71%, rise.
35000
For T (52500 - 44000)
x 100 % = 16.19%, fall.
= 52500
For U (35000 - 22000)
x 100 % = 37.14%, fall.
= 35000

 Minimum percentage rise/fall is production is the case of model R.
