Answers
1) Answer: c)

2) Answer: c)
Replace “Pharmacies” in place of pharmacy.
3) Answer: b)
of + leaking is appropriate use.
4) Answer: d)
‘Equivocate’ pertains to being deliberately ambiguous or unclear in order to mislead or withhold information. ‘Repudiate’ means to condemn with disapproval or condemnation. ‘Prevaricate’ is to speak or act falsely or evasively with intent to deceive. ‘Disparage’ is to regard or represent as being of little worth.
Both (2) and (4) are correct.
5) Answer: d)
The correct spelling is ‘berserk’.
6) Answer: d)
In options (1) and (3), ‘concerned’ precedes ‘authority’. Here ‘concerned’ acts as an adjective. ‘Concerned authority’ means that the authority is troubled or worried. Whereas ‘authority concerned’ refers to the authority that is dealing with the issue. In latter, ‘concerned’ acts as a verb. Hence, (1) and (3) are eliminated. In option (2), ‘report’ has been placed before ‘once,. ‘Once’ is an adverb of frequency. As per the grammar rule, adverbs of frequency are put directly before the main verb. So, (2) can be eliminated. Hence, option (4) is correct.
7) Answer: c)
‘Neophyte’ is a beginner or a novice and a ‘veteran’ is a person who is long experienced or practiced in an activity or capacity.
8) Answer: b)
The Central Board of Direct Taxes has released the latest data on income tax collections.
9) Answer: d)
There is no contrast in the sentence so ‘although’ and ‘though’ cannot be used. ‘Ordinarily’ does not give any meaning to the sentence. Because’ fits, because it relates the two phrases in the sentence.
10) Answer: a)
A vaccine has to be ‘effective’ for cure ‘enduring’ and ‘acceptable’ do not fit in because both render the sentence meaningless. ‘Intensive’ does not fit because.
11) Answer: a)
‘The’ fits in the blank as the sentence talks of Hepatitis B as a general disease. ‘Some’ and ‘that’ do not fit because the sentence becomes meaningless with their use. ‘Any’ may again refer to any particular case of the disease. Hence, option (1) is the correct answer.
12) Answer: b)
‘For example’ is the correct expression, other options do not fit.
13) Answer: a)
As a quantifier (small) is already there after the blank no other quantifiers like ‘some’, ‘little’ and ‘enough’ can fit. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
14) Answer: b)
Since smirch means a dirty mark or smear, hence it implies that the first blank should have a negative word which leaves us with options (2) and (4). In the second blank reputation would best fit in. Hence, (2)
15) Answer: a)
The word “conflict” in the latter half of the sentence suggests that there should be an opposite word in the first blank. Hence, “Passive” which means not reacting visibly to something that might be expected to produce manifestations of an emotion or feeling and “obedient” which means complying with or submissive to authority, qualify. The second blank makes it clear that “creative” would be a better option. Hence, (1)
