Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

Multiple choice

Directions: Choose the most appropriate word to fill the (ii) blank.

We have (i) ____ different forms of road accidents, and the universal reaction is of (ii) . But some of the things one can do is to (iii) the trapped victim, to render first aid and to help in (iv) ______ the injured people to the nearest hospital.

  1. witnessed

  2. rescue

  3. panic

  4. conveying
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence describes the universal reaction to witnessing road accidents. 'Panic' is the correct word because fear and confusion are immediate, universal emotional responses to emergencies. The context suggests this is a common human reaction, not a planned action like rescue or conveying.

Multiple choice

Directions: Choose the most appropriate word to fill the (iii) blank.

We have (i) ____ different forms of road accidents, and the universal reaction is of (ii) . But some of the things one can do is to (iii) the trapped victim, to render first aid and to help in (iv) ______ the injured people to the nearest hospital.

  1. panic

  2. conveying

  3. witnessed

  4. rescue
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence discusses actions one can take in response to road accidents. 'Rescue' is the correct word because it specifically means to save someone from danger, which is what you do to 'the trapped victim' mentioned in the context. The structure 'to rescue the trapped victim, to render first aid' lists helpful actions.

Multiple choice

Directions: Choose the most appropriate word to fill the (iv) blank.

We have (i) ____ different forms of road accidents, and the universal reaction is of (ii) . But some of the things one can do is to (iii) the trapped victim, to render first aid and to help in (iv) _______ the injured people to the nearest hospital.

  1. rescue

  2. conveying

  3. panic

  4. witnessed
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence describes helping injured people get to a hospital. 'Conveying' means to transport or take someone from one place to another. While 'rescue' might seem related, it specifically means saving from danger, not the act of transportation. 'Conveying' accurately describes the act of taking injured people to the hospital.

Multiple choice

  4. circulatory
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The blank (ii) refers to 'The _____ system' of the white shark. Among the options, 'circulatory' is the only system that fits the context - the passage then discusses body temperature and its effects on digestion and metabolism. The circulatory system is responsible for heat distribution in the body, which connects to the temperature discussion.

Multiple choice

Directions: Choose the most appropriate word to fill the (iv) blank.

The white shark is at the top of the (i) _____ food chain. The (ii) ___ system is different from that of other sharks. Its (iii) __ temperature is about three to five degrees Celsius above water temperature. This speeds up its (iv) _____ and adds to its strength and endurance.

  1. digestion

  2. circulatory

  3. blood

  4. marine
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence states that the shark's body temperature being above water temperature 'speeds up its _____'. 'Digestion' is the correct answer because metabolic processes (including digestion) are accelerated by higher body temperatures. This increased metabolic rate contributes to the shark's strength and endurance as mentioned.

Multiple choice

Directions: Choose the most appropriate word to fill the (iii) blank.

The white shark is at the top of the (i) _____ food chain. The (ii) ___ system is different from that of other sharks. Its (iii) __ temperature is about three to five degrees Celsius above water temperature. This speeds up its (iv) _____ and adds to its strength and endurance.

  1. circulatory

  2. marine

  3. digestion

  4. blood
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Blank (iii) asks about 'Its _____ temperature'. 'Blood' is the correct answer because blood temperature is a direct measure of body temperature. The passage discusses how the shark's blood/body temperature is 3-5 degrees Celsius above water temperature. 'Circulatory' and 'marine' don't grammatically fit '_____ temperature' in this context.

  1. warfare

  2. physically

  3. missile

  4. launching
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The context describes throwing stones "at his enemies" in contrast to modern warfare. "Warfare" fits grammatically and thematically - throwing stones was used in warfare. The other options fit different blanks (physically for blank ii, missile for blank iii, launching for blank iv).

Multiple choice

Directions: Choose the most appropriate word to fill the (ii) blank.

Earlier, man used to throw stones in (i) ________ at his enemies but today, man doesn’t need to be (ii) ______ present to haul the stone or send the arrow. The (iii) ___ has now replaced all these. Electronics and computers do the (iv) ______ and men die in hundreds of thousands.

  1. warfare

  2. launching

  3. physically

  4. missile
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase "doesn't need to be (ii) present" contrasts with earlier times when people were physically present to throw stones. "Physically" is the only word that completes this contrast meaningfully. The passage describes remote warfare where physical presence isn't required.
