autarchy means wat?

OA for SC1
1> D
The sentence is incomplete as 'will do' does not have an object. It should therefore be followed by 'so'. Option (d) obeys this explanation and is grammatically correct. Option(a) is not correct as 'government' is repeated. 'policy' mentioned in (b) and (c) is very ambiguous and need not necessarily refer to the initiative of subsidies given by the present government. Option (e) is grammatically incorrect as the subject 'so' is missing.
2> A
We let go 'of' something, but we turn 'off' the lights. Hence options (c) and (e) are incorrect. The proposals in options (b) and (d) might go beyond the scope of the sentence. Only option (a) is grammatically correct.
3> C
The correct idiomatic usage to refer to a proliferation of something is 'have mushroomed'. 'blooming' and 'blossoming' are not words that we use to indicate that a lot of schools have come up overnight. 'Mushrooming' is most apt, literally and figuratively, in this regard. 'all over' is a more generic term than 'in every corner'; the latter term is more specific. Hence option (c) is correct and all the other options violate the above mentioned grammatical explanation.

“Assent” is 'saying yes, or agreeing to some point to view', whereas, “ascent” is 'climbing up' or 'climb'. Our first word is “ascent”, as the author speaks about the upward movement or rise of the country.
“Autarchy” is similar 'to autocracy or despotism'. When we speak about good governance and more importantly 'economic self-sustainability' the word is “autarky”.
“Disassembled”- 'taken apart' is the opposite of assembled. The country leaders want the 'taken apart' pieces of the country to be put together. “Dissemble” is 'to disguise or conceal under a
false appearance'.
“Depositary” is our next word which means 'a trustee'. Although, “depository” is sometimes used for this, a trustee is specifically a depositary while depository also means 'a place for safe keeping'.
“Detrain” is 'to leave or cause to leave a railroad train', whereas our word is “detract”- 'divert ones attention or focus from'.
Hence, the correct answer is ABBAA.

“Proscribe” implies 'a ban'. “Prescribe” implies 'ordering the use of a medicine or other treatment' and would be the apt word here.
“Tantamount” means 'equal to'; “paramount” means 'supreme'. “Tantamount” is the correct word contextually.
“Denigrate” is to 'belittle or defame' and is the appropriate word in the context of the sentence.
“Degrade” means 'a lowering of grade'.
Hence, the correct answer is BABA.

13.
“Turbid” is generally used in reference to a liquid and means 'cloudy or opaque'; “turgid” means 'swollen' and is the correct word here.
“Exceptionable” means 'open to objection'; “exceptional” means 'excellent'. The actors performance was “exceptional”.
A “fawn” is 'a young deer, and a light brown colour'; a faun is a Roman deity that is part man, part goat. In this case, the animal was light brown in colour.
“Unsociable” means 'not enjoying the company of or engaging in activities with others'; insocial is not a word.
“Venal” means 'associated with bribery; corruptible'; 'venial', is used in Christian theology in reference 'to a minor sin'.
Hence, the correct answer is AAABB.

“Who's” is a contraction of 'who is' or 'who has', while “whose” is the possessive, used in questions such as whose is this? and whose turn is it? “Whose” is the correct word contextually.
“Wreath” (n and v) with no 'e' at the end means 'arrangement of flowers'. Hence the plural wreaths; while “wreathe” with an 'e' is a verb meaning 'envelop, surround, or encircle'.
“Wreaths” is the correct word contextually.
“Ironic” implies an attempt 'to be amusing or provocative by saying usually the opposite of what is meant': made the ironic observation that the government could always be trusted. “Sardonic”
implies 'scorn, mockery, or derision that is manifested by either verbal or facial expression': surveyed the scene with a sardonic smile.
“Uninterested” means 'to find something boring or dull'. “Disinterested” means 'impartial'.
“Comprise” is a verb meaning 'to consist of or be composed of'. “Compose” means 'to make up the constituent parts of'. If we use “comprises” the sentence should read: “ ... division of India
comprises 28 states and ...”
Hence, the correct answer is BBABA.

A “perquisite” is a special right or privilege enjoyed as a result of one's position; “prerequisite” is something that is required as a prior condition for something else. “Perquisite” is the correct
word here. Therefore, options 2 and 5 are eliminated.
“Perspicuous” means 'expressing things clearly' and is the apt word here while “perspicacious” means 'having a ready understanding of things'. Therefore, option 3 is eliminated.
“Principal” in this context means 'a company represented by a sales person'. “Principle” means 'an accepted rule of action or conduct' and is inappropriate in this context.
“Proscribe” is a rather formal word meaning 'condemn or forbid' and is the correct word here, whereas 'prescribe' means either 'issue a medical prescription' or 'recommend with authority'.
Therefore, option 1 is eliminated.
Do not confuse “regretful” which means 'feeling or showing regret', with “regrettable” which means 'giving rise to regret; undesirable'. “Regrettable” is apt in this context.
Hence, the correct answer is BABBB.

OA :
1>A
The phrase used is grammatically correct. Option (b) is incorrect, as there is a huge difference between 'important' and 'fact'. Option (d) overlooks the serious tone of the sentence. Options (e) and (c) sound verbose. This leads us to option (a).
2>C
Option (c) needs a correction. 'a student's' should be replaced with 'the student's.'
3>D
'Assure' is an transitive verb and should be followed by an object. You can only assure a person, a group of people, or an animal to remove doubt or anxiety. You can remember that assure can only be used with things that are alive. Hence option (d) is incorrect. It can be replaced as 'ensure a successful cure'. Ensure is something you do to guarantee an event or condition. The correct usage here would be 'be sure of a successful cure', or 'ensure a successful cure'.
4>C
The man being referred here is the object to the verb, hence 'who' should be replaced with 'whom'
