Direction (6-10) :
6) Answer: a)
Option A represents the suitable combination of alternatives; ‘found’ is not suitable for the 1st blank since the statement is in present continuous form; ‘success’ cannot be suitable for the 3rd blank, as this would not fit with the context of the passage.
7) Answer: b)
Option B represents the suitable combination of alternatives. ‘Connected’ is incorrect since, the statement is in simple present. ‘Beside’, with no “s” at the end, is used only as a preposition, which means there is always a noun following it. ‘Besides’ with an “s” at the end can also be used as a preposition, but it means “except” or “in addition to’’; hence ‘besides’ is suitable for 3rd blank.
8) Answer: b)
Option B represents the suitable combination of alternatives. ‘Developing’ makes no contextual sense in the 1st blank. ‘In spite’ should always be followed by the preposition ‘of’.
9) Answer: c)
Option C represents the suitable combination of alternatives. ‘Charmed’ and ‘fascinated’ are both similar in meaning but there is no suitable combination of alternatives with the former, so it is eliminated.
10) Answer: a)
Option A represents the suitable combination of alternatives. ‘Shifts’ is incorrect for the 1st blank since the sentence is in simple past. ‘Living’ should be preceded by a helping verb ‘is’, else it is not suitable for the 3rd blank.
