Verbal Ability (Mixed)

In this context, 'will come' expresses a simple future expectation or hope. The other options are grammatically incorrect or convey different meanings: 'must come' suggests obligation, 'should come' implies recommendation, and 'must be coming' indicates probability about an ongoing action. The sentence expresses a hope, not a requirement.

The correct structure uses the infinitive phrase 'To be elected' to establish the condition or requirement. This is an infinitive of purpose/condition. 'Elected' (past participle) would need a helping verb, 'having elected' implies completed action, and 'Electing' is the wrong participle form for this passive construction.

The subject 'increase' is singular, so it needs the singular verb form 'tends to' followed by the base form 'result'. 'Tending to' would make the sentence fragment, 'will tend' changes the meaning to certainty, and 'tends' alone would require the base form 'to result' immediately after. The correct phrase is 'tends to result in'.

The correct phrase is 'for the completion of' which uses the preposition 'for' followed by the noun phrase 'completion'. 'Of completion' is grammatically awkward, 'for the complete of' uses the wrong form (complete vs completion), and 'of complete' is missing the article and has incorrect structure. The pattern is 'conditions necessary for [noun]'.

The correct phrase is 'with a wavy, gliding motion' which describes how something moves. 'Having' would need to be followed by a noun (having motion), 'has' is a main verb that doesn't fit grammatically, and 'being' would need a different context. The preposition 'with' correctly introduces the manner of movement.

The phrase 'difficulty with driving' is a common collocation where 'with' indicates the specific area of difficulty. After prepositions, verbs take the gerund form (-ing). 'Be driven' would make the sentence passive with wrong meaning, 'to drive' is an infinitive that doesn't fit grammatically, and 'will drive' is a future tense verb that breaks the sentence structure.

When a verb functions as the subject of a sentence, it must be in the gerund form (-ing). 'Finding unknown quantities' correctly places the activity in the subject position. Option A incorrectly uses 'found' instead of 'find' in the infinitive. Option B uses the base form, and Option C unnecessarily adds an article 'the'.

The sentence requires 'Once' as an adverb meaning 'formerly' or 'at one time' to modify the entire statement about Pompeii. Option B creates a redundant subject 'it,' Option C is wordy and awkward, and Option D is grammatically incorrect. The concise adverb at the beginning properly establishes the temporal context before the volcanic destruction.

As there is movement we use the word 'into'.

It is qualifying the verb 'revolves'. Hence round is used as an adverb here.

The preposition 'besides' means 'in addition to' or 'other than,' which correctly completes the thought that people work for reasons beyond money. 'Beside' (without -s) refers only to physical position next to something. The correct word order places 'besides money' at the end for natural flow.

The present perfect passive 'has been used for' correctly indicates an ongoing action about Vitamin E cream's purpose. The subject 'Vitamin E cream' receives the action (passive voice), and the present perfect tense connects past usage to present relevance. Options A and D use incorrect perfect participles, while B is only a past participle without the auxiliary verb needed for present tense.

The phrasal verb 'pass off' means to happen or be conducted successfully. 'The event passed off without any untoward incident' is a standard expression for events occurring without problems. Other prepositions don't form correct phrasal verbs with 'pass' in this context. 'Pass of' and 'pass on' have different meanings, while 'pass away' means to die.

In the phrase 'a round of pleasures,' the word 'round' functions as a noun meaning 'a sequence or series of activities.' This is a common expression where 'round' indicates a complete set or cycle. The structure 'a round of' is a standard noun phrase pattern where 'round' is the head noun modified by the prepositional phrase 'of pleasures.'

The preposition 'to' is the correct collocation with 'traitor' in the phrase 'traitor to the country,' indicating betrayal against or disloyalty toward a nation. This is a fixed expression in English. Other prepositions like 'for,' 'in,' or 'of' don't convey the correct relationship of betrayal inherent to the word 'traitor.'

After the verb 'want,' English requires the infinitive form 'to eat' rather than the gerund. 'Quickly and cheaply' are adverbs correctly modifying 'eat.' The infinitive of purpose explains why working people choose fast food restaurants. Options B and C incorrectly use the gerund and base verb forms, while D is grammatically incorrect.

In 'A square peg in a round hole,' the word 'round' functions as an adjective describing the shape of the hole. Adjectives modify nouns by answering 'what kind.' This idiomatic expression refers to something that doesn't fit properly in its context. The word clearly describes the circular shape of the hole.

In 'What next?' the word 'next' functions as an adverb meaning 'what follows' or 'what comes after' in a sequence. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. This is a common conversational expression asking about the next step in a sequence of actions. The word indicates temporal sequence rather than describing a noun.

In 'He came round to their belief,' the word 'round' functions as an adverb modifying the verb 'came.' The phrasal verb 'come round' means to change one's opinion or position to agree with others. Adverbs often modify verbs indicating manner or direction of action. The word describes how his opinion changed over time.

In the phrase 'next Monday', the word 'next' describes which Monday is being referred to. Adjectives modify nouns, and 'Monday' is a noun. Therefore 'next' functions as an adjective here, describing the noun 'Monday'. Options B (noun) and D (preposition) are incorrect because 'next' is not functioning as a naming word or a relationship word in this context. Option C (adverb) is also incorrect because adverbs typically modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, not nouns.

The word 'trite' means something that is overused, lacking originality or freshness due to excessive use - essentially a cliché. Looking at the options, 'original' represents the opposite concept, suggesting freshness and novelty. 'Duplicate' means an exact copy, which is closer to trite than original is. 'Backward' and 'beliefs' are unrelated to the meaning of trite. This question tests antonym relationships.

In the phrase 'in my next visit', the word 'next' modifies 'visit' (a noun), which might suggest adjective. However, the entire phrase 'in my next visit' functions as an adverbial phrase telling when something will happen. More importantly, in this position following 'in' and modifying the temporal aspect of the action, 'next' is functioning as an adverb indicating timing. This distinguishes it from the previous question where 'next' modified a day noun directly. Adverbial 'next' answers 'when' about the main verb 'shall tell'. Options A, B, and D don't capture this temporal adverbial function.

The word 'lax' means lacking strictness, rigor, or care - loose, negligent, or not strict enough. Therefore, 'strict' represents the direct opposite meaning. 'Poor' could sometimes relate to negligence but doesn't specifically capture the absence of strictness. 'King' is completely unrelated. 'Amazing' is a positive quality descriptor unrelated to strictness levels. This is a straightforward antonym question testing vocabulary precision.

In the phrase 'next to her', the word 'next' is functioning as a preposition indicating spatial relationship (beside/near). 'Next to' is a compound preposition showing position relative to 'her'. Option A (adjective) is incorrect because 'next' is not modifying a noun here - it's part of a prepositional phrase. Option B (noun) is incorrect as 'next' isn't functioning as a naming word. Option C (adverb) might seem plausible but 'next to her' doesn't modify a verb - instead the entire phrase establishes spatial relationship between 'he' and 'her'. The prepositional use is correct.
