Directions for the following 15 (Fifteen ) items : In the following passages, at certain points you are given a choice of three words marked (a), (b) and (c) one of which fits the meaning of the passage. Choose the best word out of the three. Mark the letter, viz., (a), (b) or (c), relating to this word on your Answer Sheet, Examples K and L have been solved for you.
K                                                                                     L
The (a) boy was in the school in Simla.                          (a) She was homesick
        (b) horse                                                                (b) It
         (c) dog                                                                   (c) He
Explanation : Out of the list given in item K, only, ‘boy’ is the correct answer because usually, a boy,
and not a horse or a dog, attends school. So ‘(a)’ is to be marked on the Answer Sheet for item K. A
boy is usually referred to as ‘he’, so for item L, ‘(c)’ is the correct answer. Notice that to solve the first
item K, you have to read of the sentence and then see what fits best.
