OA :
1> B The incorrect statement is 'A'. In 'A', 'probing' should be followed by an article rather than a preposition; therefore it should be 'probing the.. .' rather than 'probing about ..'. 'About' is redundant. The magic of invisible animal kingdoms, makes more sense for the simple reason that the magic is described in the sentence.
2> C In 'A' it should be '...confronted by' rather than '..with'. In 'B' it should be '... this is...' instead of 'these are', since the referred subject is ' the show'. Hence, option 3 is correct.
3> A In C it should be 'an increase ...' since it is being referred to the first time. The other statements are correct.
Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error.

SET 33 (PC)3>Jardine was a tall, hard boned, personality, having none of the unction often associated in his period with cricket. On the field, even a Harlequin cap did not lighten or brighten his pervading air of relentless purpose. His was a realpolitik. He determined in the early 1930s to wrest back the “ashes” from Australia, and to put Bradman in a reasonable, if still high, place. ____________________________________a The fastest bowling could not hurry him. b He had played against many countries. c He was perhaps the first to lead the reaction against Edwardian gesture and romance and the humbug of “may the best side win”. d His influence on the cricket field was mild. e All the howls and winds of the world would not deter him.4>Though these worries often seem very different from those of the real world, we are not in fact talking about dangers that weren't there before. The single most important thing that parents can do is to bring up their children to be sensible and savvy - these are precisely the qualities that they need in order to know right from wrong (and scary situations from safe situations) when they are online. ______________a By nature, children have an innate curiosity about the real world. b The good news is that in doing what we have always done- being good parents to our children- we are helping to keep them safe. cAs the internet allows children to communicate on a global scale, parents need to increase considerably their own levels of communication with children, and to show an interest in what they are doing online. d Almost as important is to keep the lines of communication open.e It is important to gauge the adverse effects of the internet before going online.5>For years experts have been asking what will we eat when the crises of climate change and oil depletion converge, with the possible end of our globalized food supply. Our tea and coffee and spices might still come from abroad, but what about salad vegetables, beef and fresh orange juice? _______________a The Western palate is extremely demanding and the realization on the part of the health conscious population of the severity of the situation may lead to a number of problems for the government. b But last year's rate of factory-gate inflation was the highest for more than 16 years, with increases ranging from 7.5% for bread to 15% for milk, cheese and eggs and 60% for rice. c Overall food inflation is 6.6%, in a year when oil prices have risen by 70%. d Britain currently imports about $ 22bn worth of food and drink a year, 68% from the EU. e Cheap oil has let the West regard the whole world as its farmyard, always seeking the cheapest place to produce and process.
OA:
3> E The central idea of the passage is conveyed in 'relentless purpose' in sentence 2 and 'He determined…to wrest back the 'ashes'…and to put Bradman in a reasonable…place. Option (e) carries on with the idea of 'relentless purpose' and also his determination to achieve the two objectives cited above. (b) is close but only touches upon one of the two objectives mentioned in the last sentence. Option (a) and (d) do not touch upon the main idea. Option (c) is too general and does not touch upon the specific objectives mentioned in the passage.
4>B b is the correct option as it concludes the idea mentioned in the second sentence; also, it follows the first-person narrative- we. 'c' elaborates 'b'. 'd' is one step further whereas 'e' is a general statement. 'a' is a general statement about children which does not fit in immediately after the last sentence. It could have come earlier. 5>A 'a' is the correct option as it continues with the problem left off in the last line of the paragraph. The paragraph is talking of a future hypothetical situation whereas options b, c and d reflect on the current changed scenario. They suddenly make the paragraph move from general to specific. Option e is relevant. But option 1 is better than option e when it comes to idea continuation.
OA: 4>Bb is the correct option as it concludes the idea mentioned in the second sentence; also, it follows the first-person narrative- we. 'c' elaborates 'b'. 'd' is one step further whereas 'e' is a general statement. 'a' is a general statement about children which does not fit in immediately after the last sentence. It could have come earlier.

OAs For SET (29) 7) Paragraph is about the unique powers of shaktiman and his improvisation, then option 3 and 4 ruled out. The last line says about improvisation, so a contrasting statement is very well the best one to finish it. And that is option 5.8) OPTION 2 - main idea in question is “criminal organisation use internet to attack” followed by the information that EUs law enforcement agencies are unable to contain this problem what implicitly is stated here is the criminal oragnisations are not bounded while judiciary bounded this brings an important point in paragraph completion that authorsometimes make suggestions and writes them at last for better understanding other answers could have been judiciary is caged by its own tenets while criminals have no such moral obligation.9) OPTION 5--- this para has 2 ideas a)) minor sect unexplored b)) non theistic religion;; solving by elimination;;option 2 . its is simply reinstating the same fact ; option 1. abruption in the flow ; option 4. out of the focus of the 2 ideas above (west??) option 3. and option 5 seem close option 3. again talks about no god (preachers are iberated soul ){repetitive} option 5. talks about “ultimate liberation”(without god concept on last line) attainment through all sorts of pratices.Happy CATing P.S- Sorry to Delay
