Q:

In the following question, a sentence is given with some bold words which may contain errors. Below the sentence, a table is given with two columns in which column 'A' contains the list of bold words, and in column 'B' the suggested corrections are listed. You have to choose the best alternative among the four given options. If no correction is required against the given bold words, mark (E), i.e., "None of the above" as your answer.

The Bill states that companies with more than 10 employees would periodically debate specific terms with their workers, publish their own charter, and create an Employee Welfare Committee consisting of representatives of the company’s workforce.

A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8) B) (4)-(8)
C) (1)-(5) D) (3)-(7)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) (1)-(5)

Explanation:

'Debate' results in only one of the parties involved in the argument to win. But, when employees and employers discuss the terms of working, the end results must satisfy both and not just one of them. This is called 'negotiation', not a debate. Also, employees are the same as that of workers. So, no change is required here. A committee is formed by 'representatives' from various factions. 'Capital' doesn’t require representation.

Q:

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :The boy felt his way up the creaking stairs through thick darkness.
S6:He was just telling himself he was safe when the door was flung open and the gaunt old man grabbed his shoulder.
P:All he had to do was just get past the central door on the landing.
Q:He stopped as the great clock below whined for a few seconds and gave out a single, solemn stroke.
R:His eyes were raised to the faint moonlight that shone above the landing.
S:He hesitated as the sound died down and then crept on, thinking that if they could sleep through that, they would sleep through any noise he could make.

The proper sequence should be 

A) P Q S R B) R Q S P
C) P R Q S D) R Q P S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) R Q P S

Explanation:

The starting statement talked about how the boy managed to climb the stairs despite of thick darkness. So, the continuing statement would be talking about his landing and how his eyes were raised to moonlight. So, the next statement in continuation would be the statement R. This eliminates option (a) and (c). The next statement would be Q. The next statement would be talking about how he managed to pass through the central door and how he was getting afraid with the noise. So P follows Q and S would be the concluding statement. Thus, the correct sequence is RQPS.
