Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

'Little' carries a negative connotation and means hardly any or negligible. 'A little' carries a positive connotation and means 'some'.

Q:

In the given question, a statement divided into different segments is given. The first segment is fixed, rearrange the other segments to form a coherent statement.

Introduction of the finance bill was delayed/ budget allocation for the cottage (P)/ debating over the renewal of the last year's (Q)/ by a week as the lawmakers were busy (R)/ industry which got wasted (S)

A) PQRS	B) SPQR
C) RQPS	D) QRPS

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) RQPS

Explanation:

This question can be best solved by the elimination technique. 'was delayed budget allocation', 'was delayed industry which' and 'was delayed debating over' do not make sense; hence P, Q and S can't follow the first segment. This eliminates options 1, 2 and 4. Option 5 places S after R which makes the resultant segment as 'lawmakers were busy industry' which is illogical; hence option 5 can also be eliminated. Hence, the correct sequence is RQPS.

A) The Trump administration is intensifying its effort to crack down the so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to comply with federal immigration authorities.

C) The so-called sanctuary cities that refused to abide by the federal immigration authorities will be cracked down by the intensified efforts of the Trump administration.	D) Federal immigration authorities must be complied into by sanctuary cities if the efforts of the Trump Administration must be intensified.

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Federal immigration authorities must be complied into by sanctuary cities if the efforts of the Trump Administration must be intensified.

Explanation:

We have to find the incorrect statement. All the sentences except D have been correctly structured. In option D, the phrase ‘complied into by’ is incorrect. You "comply with" a rule or a law and not by cities.
