Sentence Completion

The correct answer is 'trivial' (adjective), which properly modifies 'objections'. 'Trifling' and 'trifle' are grammatically incorrect here - 'trifling' would work as an adjective but is semantically wrong, while 'trifle' is a noun/verb.

The correct answer is 'consent' (noun), meaning permission or approval. 'Agreement' is close but consent specifically means permission granted. 'Access' means entry/opportunity, and 'approve' is a verb (grammatically incorrect after 'its').

The correct answer is 'adopt' because the phrase 'adopt a course of action' is a standard idiom meaning to choose or take up a particular plan. 'Accede' means to agree to demands (used with 'to'), 'access' means to enter or gain entry, and 'adapt' means to adjust or modify oneself - none of which fit the context of deciding on an action plan.

The correct answer is 'at' because 'adept' is followed by the preposition 'at' in standard English usage. The phrase 'adept at' means skilled or proficient in doing something. 'On', 'to', and 'with' are not the correct prepositions to pair with 'adept'.

The correct answer is 'facility' because in this context, 'facility' means opportunity, ease, or resources provided to accomplish something. The phrase 'every facility' means all possible help or resources. 'Moment' would require a different sentence structure, 'felicity' means happiness (inappropriate here), and 'grant' doesn't fit idiomatically with 'every'.

The correct answer is 'exhaustive' because it means comprehensive, thorough, or covering all aspects - exactly what you'd want from a book on Indian history. 'Complete' is grammatically awkward (we'd say 'a complete book' not 'an complete book'). 'Exhausting' means tiring (describing the effect on reader, not the book's scope), and 'explanatory' means explaining something.

The correct answer is 'avenged' because it's the correct verb form meaning to inflict harm in return for a wrong. 'Avenge' is used transitively: 'He avenged his father's murder.' 'Revenge' is typically used as a noun or as a reflexive verb ('He revenged himself'). 'Settled score' would need 'settled the score'.

The correct answer is 'felicity' because it means intense happiness or bliss, often used in spiritual or religious contexts. 'Only the pious can enjoy true felicity' suggests spiritual joy or blessedness. 'Facility' means ease or opportunity, 'piece' makes no sense here.

The correct answer is 'amicable' because it specifically describes agreements, settlements, or relationships characterized by goodwill and lack of conflict. 'Amicable settlement' is a standard phrase in dispute resolution. 'Amiable' describes people (friendly personality), not agreements. 'Pleasant' and 'pleasing' are too general.

The correct answer is 'luxuriant' because it specifically describes abundant growth or vegetation, and is used for hair that is thick and lush. 'Luxurious' means wealthy or comfortable (describing lifestyle, objects, or surroundings). The question describes physical appearance, so 'luxuriant' is correct.

The correct answer is 'graceful' because it describes elegance and beauty in movement or appearance. 'She looked graceful in her new dress' is correct usage. 'Gracious' means courteous and kind (describing behavior/personality). 'Great' is too vague, and 'grateful' means thankful.

The correct answer is 'humane' because it means showing compassion, kindness, and benevolence toward others - especially those in one's service or care. 'Humane manner' is the correct phrase. 'Human' is simply an adjective meaning 'relating to people' and doesn't convey the moral quality of kindness.

"amiable" 

The correct answer is 'illustrious' because it means highly distinguished, respected, and admired - perfectly suited to describe Gandhiji's legacy. While 'famous', 'successful', and 'notable' are all true about Gandhiji, 'illustrious' conveys the highest level of distinction and honor appropriate for a national figure.

The correct answer is 'imperial' because it relates to an empire or emperor. England's past glory as an empire is described by 'imperial glory'. 'Imperious' means arrogantly domineering (a negative trait). 'Impervious' means unable to be affected. 'Ancient' is too general.

An impervious nature means someone who is unresponsive, insensitive, or resistant to outside influences - qualities that would naturally make a person unpopular. The word fits contextually as someone who doesn't respond to social cues or others' feelings.

Persecuted means to subject someone to systematic hostility and ill-treatment, especially on the basis of race, religion, or political beliefs. This accurately describes the Nazi campaign against Jews. Prosecuted would mean legal charges, threatened is too mild, and ill-treated doesn't capture the systematic nature.

Proscribed means formally forbidden or banned, especially by law. This accurately describes the status of Salman Rushdie's novel in multiple countries. Published and available are incorrect as opposites. Prescribed would mean recommended or medically ordered.

Veracity means truthfulness or accuracy of a statement. Voracity relates to voracious appetite. Visibility refers to being seen. Practicality refers to usefulness. The sentence asks about assurance regarding the truthfulness of someone's statement.

Eminent means famous, respected, or important in a specific field. Imminent means about to happen (confused homophone). Important and significant are too general - eminent specifically connotes professional distinction and reputation.

 Precedent is the correct option as it implies an act that may serve as an example or justification for a later one.

Magnanimous means generous or forgiving, especially towards an enemy or someone less powerful. It perfectly describes a gesture of forgiveness. Loving is too general, suspicious contradicts forgiveness, and stingy means the opposite of generous.

Withstand means to resist or endure something successfully. In military context, it means to hold back or resist an enemy advance. Prevent would mean stopping entirely, conquer is incorrect, and avoid would mean evading rather than resisting.

Nevertheless means 'in spite of that' or 'despite this.' It correctly shows they proceeded with the operation despite having little hope of success. And would show addition, so would show result, and because would show cause.

Whereas is a conjunction used to show contrast between two things. It correctly contrasts Tom's ambition with his brother being 'quite the reverse.' As shows similarity, since shows cause, and yet shows contrast but is less formal.
