5) Answer: d)

Options 1 and 3 mean the same. ‘To live in a fool’s paradise’ would mean ‘to live in a fanciful world unaware of the reality’. Options 2 and 4 might look similar but ‘not seeing the wood for the trees’ means ‘not being able to understand what is important in a situation because of an excessive attention to details’ so it is not the segregation of unimportant details from the important ones but failing to comprehend the overall situation, this makes (d) the correct option.

6) Answer: a)

The world will little note what we say here No longer remember But it can never forget what they did here.

Statements A and C form a mandatory pair because (A) mentions the world which is referred to in (C0 and ‘note’ and remember are the related terms that establish a connection between both the statements. Statements (B) and (D) form a mandatory pair because ‘but’ in statement (d) connects it with statement (C) to provide the contrast. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

7) Answer: b)

Statements (B) and (C) form a mandatory pair as (C) provides an explanation for the cause of (B). No other combination has this pair hence; option (b) is the correct answer.

8) Answer: b)

Statements (D) and (C) form a mandatory pair because the premise referred to in (D) is mentioned in (C). As this is the only option with this combination of mandatory pair option (b) is the correct answer.

9) Answer: d)

‘Returned’ means to pay back or given back. So the use of “back” is redundant here.

10) Answer: c)

The present perfect continuous tense of the verb is used to describe actions that started in the past and are relevant at the time of speaking.
