English Grammar and Vocabulary Test

q p r s is the proper sequence as this produces a proper and meaningful sentence..... You have reached a point of maturity where you can apply things in the proper space. 

I don't want to bite the hand that feeds me.

The correct sentence reads 'I am at a point in my life when I have to do it that way.' Option C (q s p r) produces this coherent sentence structure with proper subject-verb agreement and logical flow. Option A (s q p r) would read 'life a point in my I am at when I have to do it that way' which is grammatically incorrect.

The correct sentence reads 'It gave me a different perspective and allowed me to understand how to hone the writing skills.' Option C (q r s p) creates this coherent structure where 'me a different perspective' is the object of 'gave', and 'how to hone the writing skills' is the object of 'understand'. Options A and B place the infinitive phrase 'how to hone...' in positions that break the logical flow.

The correct sentence reads 'I got confused for a while, but my parents made conscious efforts to make sure whatever turmoil they were experiencing didn't come into the way of taking care of us.' Option C (s p r q) produces this coherent structure. The key is recognizing that 'turmoil they were experiencing' (r) and 'of us' (q) must be adjacent to complete the noun phrase, and 'to make sure whatever' (p) naturally follows 'efforts'.

"has been" is the correct answer.

The sentence reads 'It has reached on one (14)_ with ASEAN this month'. The correct answer is 'agreement' (option B) as it completes the meaningful phrase 'reached on one agreement with ASEAN'. 'Agreement' is the only noun that fits the context of trade negotiations and partnerships mentioned throughout the passage.

 S,R,T,Q, P is the correct sequence. The would read thusly "When I was a kid I tried the violin for a while, but I didn't have the discipline to keep up with it."

The correct sentence reads 'I don't have to try and hold myself back.' Option B (r p q s) produces this coherent structure. 'I' (r) is the subject, 'try' (p) is the verb following 'don't have to', 'and hold myself' (q) completes the verb phrase, and 'back' (s) is the adverb modifying 'hold'. The sentence expresses lack of obligation to restrain oneself.

The sentence reads 'it has been negotiating one (15) the European union (16)_ July 2007 as well as one with Japan.' The correct answer is 'with' (option C) as it fits the context 'negotiating one [agreement] with the European union'. The phrase 'negotiating with' is standard English usage when discussing talks between parties.

The correct answer is 'leave off' (option B). The phrasal verb 'leave off' means to stop doing something, especially something annoying. In this context, the neighbor is complaining about noise from the music system, so 'leave off' is the appropriate choice meaning 'stop playing'. 'Leave down', 'leave away', and 'leave for' are not standard phrasal verbs with relevant meanings in this context.

The correct answer is 'knock off' (option B). The phrasal verb 'knock off' means to stop working, usually at the end of a workday. The sentence 'We knock off work in time for tea' means stopping work to have tea. 'Knock in', 'knock around', and 'knock down' have different meanings not related to stopping work.

Option A 'pasionate' is misspelt. The correct spelling is 'passionate' with two 's' letters. The other words are correctly spelled: 'resolute' means determined, 'obstinate' means stubborn, and 'vilify' means to speak ill of someone. Therefore option A is the wrongly spelt word.

The sentence reads 'negotiating one (15) the European union (16)_ July 2007 as well as one with Japan.' The correct answer is 'since' (option C) as it indicates the starting point of the ongoing negotiations - 'negotiating one [agreement] with the European union since July 2007'. 'Since' is the only word that correctly establishes the timeframe when the negotiations began and continue to the present.

The sentence reads 'It signed them with Sri Lanka in 1998 and with Thailand (12) 2003'. The correct answer is 'in' (option B) as it fits the temporal context 'in 2003'. The preposition 'in' is standard usage when referring to a year. 'On' would be used with specific dates, 'at' with precise times, and 'for' would indicate duration rather than a point in time.

Option A 'exhileration' is misspelt. The correct spelling is 'exhilaration' with two 'l' letters after 'h'. The word means a feeling of great happiness and excitement. The other words are correctly spelled: 'expert', 'expect', and 'exam'. Therefore option A is the wrongly spelt word.

'Let in' is a phrasal verb meaning to allow someone to enter a place or to give someone access to something. When you 'let in the VIPs', you are allowing them entry. 'Let down' means to disappoint someone, 'let off' means to release someone from punishment or obligation, and 'let for' is not a standard phrasal verb in English.

The context shows India signing agreements with multiple countries in sequence. The phrase 'as well as' functions as a conjunction meaning 'also' or 'in addition to', which fits perfectly when listing that India signed FTAs with Sri Lanka and Thailand, and ALSO had PTAs with Afghanistan, Chile and MERCOSUR. 'Though' indicates contrast, 'unless' shows condition, and 'for' doesn't fit the grammatical structure.

'Go through' means to examine, review, or check something carefully. In the context of curbing (reducing) mistakes, you would need to carefully review or examine files and papers. 'Go off' means to explode or stop liking something, 'go round' means to circulate or bypass, and 'go in' means to enter - none of these make sense in the context of checking documents for errors.

The correct sequence is r-q-p-s which forms: 'I see myself as a conscious artist plugging away from day to day assimilating information.' This is a grammatically correct sentence where the speaker describes their self-perception. 'Plugging away' is an idiom meaning to work persistently at something. The other arrangements either don't form coherent sentences or have incorrect word order.

The correct sequence is r-p-q-s which forms: 'I definitely think guys like Jobin and Mark have paved the way for somebody like me to have success on the show.' This creates a coherent sentence where someone expresses that predecessors (Jobin and Mark) created opportunities for their success. Other sequences don't form grammatically correct or meaningful sentences.

The correct sequence is r-q-p-s which forms: 'People here really appreciate improvisation because Indian ragas are so much like jazz.' This explains that people in a certain place value improvisation in music, and draws a comparison between Indian ragas and jazz. The 'because' clause provides the reason for the appreciation. Other sequences don't create coherent or logical sentences.

All three words - funeral, fugitive, and furbish - are correctly spelled. 'Funeral' means a ceremony for the dead, 'fugitive' means someone running away from law, and 'furbish' means to polish or renew. Since all options A, B, and C are correctly spelled, option D 'all correct' is the right choice.

'Devor' appears to be the incorrectly spelled word. The intended word is likely 'devour' (to eat something greedily) or possibly a Hindi-derived term. 'Devoid' (completely lacking), 'deviate' (to depart from), and 'destitute' (extremely poor) are all correctly spelled English words. Option D correctly identifies 'devor' as the spelling error.

All three words are correctly spelled. 'Impeccable' means flawless or perfect, 'impasse' means a deadlock or no-way-out situation, and 'impenitent' means not showing regret. Since all given options (A, B, C) are correctly spelled, option D 'all correct' is the appropriate choice.
