Fill in the Blanks

The key word in the sentence is 'subject'. We can have a 'command', 'grip', or 'mastery' over a subject. Now, word 'boring' in option 4 is irrelevant. So, we are left with option 1, which fits the intention of the sentence.

Here, a relation between income and expenditure is shown. It implies that the expenditure will 'exceed' (i.e. grow more than) income in the absence of 'economisation'. Option 2 also seems to be correct, but 'economize' is a better option than 'save', because we need to spend rationally in order to save.

Answers for such questions are arrived at by using POE, i.e. process of elimination. We know that a guilty person or a culprit is hardly acquitted or pardoned. Similarly, an innocent person is not subjected to a sentence. Option 4 seems to be irrelevant. Also, we know that a guilty is punished for the crime. 

Correct Answer: made The correct sentence is "She felt it was made for them."

Correct Answer: looks Ashna looks very elegant, pretty and charming.

The sentence describes a future intention or plan. "Wants" is the present simple tense used to express a planned future action. "Had wanted" is past perfect (already completed), "is wanting" is grammatically awkward (stative verbs rarely use continuous), and "was wanted" is passive voice.

Correct Answer: had been basking

"since morning" indicates that the sentence should be in perfect continuous tense.

Correct Answer: has become

I feel great pleasure when I see flowers of different colours.

The phrasal verb "set aside" means to reserve something for later use. "Of," "at," and "for" don't form meaningful phrasal verbs with "set" in this context. Note: "somne" appears to be a typo for "some."

Should you fall short of money, please drop the idea of buying the TV.

Correct Answer: hold out

'Hold out' means to continue to be enough or continue to exist.

Here, the modal 'must' should be used because the sentence expresses a strong obligation which necessitates the use of 'must'.

Ghoul is unrelated as it describes someone who takes delight in death or describes a supernatural being that is undead similar to a ghost. Minion refers to followers and this is not indicated in the passage, but army is. Cohort is a group of people, which could be a military group or a group of people based on their generation. This leaves mercenary which refers to a soldier for hire or someone who is hired to be a soldier.

Blank (iv) requires a noun referring to a type of crime, given the context describes Ram Singh as a stern figure who severely punishes crimes. 'Embezzlement' (theft of funds by someone in a position of trust) fits perfectly as a specific crime type. 'Felonious' is an adjective describing criminal nature, not a crime itself. 'Libidinous' means lustful (unrelated). 'Larceny' is theft but 'embezzlement' better fits the context of someone in authority.
