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.

On the occasion of his golden jubilee, the generous king Maharaja of Bikaner Ganga Singh, participated in the ancient Hindu TulaDaan ceremony whereby he sat on a large set of scales and was measured against gold bars, whose cash equivalent was then donated to the charitable Golden Jubilee Fund.

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

Explanation:

When a person sits on a scale, it is his weight against which the gold bars are measured. Also, we measure something with a scale, not against it.'Occasion' is a particular event or the time at which it takes place. 'Date' is the number of a day along with the month of the year specified by a number. Since no number is present, 'occasion' is correct. Wherein and whereby have the same meaning in the sentence and since none of the options mention the combination, it can be ignored. 'Equity' is the quality of being fair and impartial, which will not suit the sentence. Hence, the correct
answer is 4.

We set out for the gallows. Two warders marched on either side of the prisoner, with their rifles at the slope; two others marched close against him, gripping him by his arm and shoulder, as though, at once pushing and supporting him. The rest of us, magistrates and the like, followed behind. Suddenly, when we had gone ten yards, the procession stopped short without any order or warning. A dreadful thing had happened ­ a dog, come goodness knows whence, had appeared in the yard. It came bounding among us with a loud volley of barks, and leapt round us wagging its whole body, wild with glee at finding so many human beings together. It was a large woolly dog, half Airedale, half Pariah. For a moment, it pranced round us, and then, before anyone could stop it, it had made a dash for the prisoner, and jumping up tried to lick his face. Everyone stood aghast, too taken aback even to grab at the dog.

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without pre-established harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and has done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.

 

According to the author, God is not looking for _____ to manifest his works.

A) Cowards B) Stubborn people
C) Weaklings D) All of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Cowards
