Another marvel on the far side of the lake was a little farm that felt like a secret in the city. Some of the gaunt Karnataka labourers even looked away when children came to dig and eat. But the greatest pleasure, this side of the lake, was the jamun tree. A few months back, Kalu and Sunil had a feast in the branches, shaking down a few berries for Mirchi.

That's when they came to know the second-coolest thing about the jamun tree : There were parrots nesting in it. Since then, some other road boys had been capturing the parrots one by one to sell at the Marol Market, but Sunil had brought Kalu around to the belief that the birds should be left as they were. Sunil listened for their squawks each morning, to make sure they hadn't been abducted in the night.

Kalu's expertise was in the recycling bins inside airline catering compounds. Private waste collectors emptied these dumpsters on a regular basis, but Kalu had mastered the trash truck's schedules. The night before pickup, Kalu would climb over the barbed-wire fences and raid the overflowing bins.

Kalu's routine had become known by the local police, however. He kept getting caught, until some constables proposed a different arrangement. Kalu could keep his metal scrap if he'd pass on information he picked up on the road about local drug dealers.

A) Shaking down the berries for Mirchi B) There were parrots nesting in the tree
C) Selling parrots in the Marol Market D) Capturing parrots in the tree

In the question below, there is a word given in bold which is followed by five options. In each of the options, a pair of words is given which is either the pair of synonyms or antonyms or synonym & antonym of the word given in bold. Choose that pair as your answer.

Recalcitrant

A) Peculiar, Convivial B) Amenable, Docile
C) Taciturn, Withering D) Voluble, Turgid

The meanings of the given words are as follows:

expected; strange Convivial: (of an atmosphere or event) friendly, lively, and enjoyable
Amenable: open and responsive to suggestion; easily persuaded or controlled
Docile: ready to accept control or instruction; submissive
Taciturn: (of a person) reserved or uncommunicative in speech; saying little

Voluble: (of a person) talking fluently, readily, or incessantly
Turgid: swollen and distended or congested
Pendulous: hanging down loosely
Jocular: fond of or characterized by joking; humorous or playful
Therefore, it can be observed that option B i.e. ‘amenable, docile’ forms an antonym- antonym pair of ‘recalcitrant’.
