Directions (Q.61- 80): In the following passages at certain points you are given a choice of three words in brackets, one of which fits the meaning of the passage. Choose the word which best fits the meaning of the passage and mark the corresponding letter viz (a),(b)or(C)on your Answer Sheet. Example Y and Z have been solved for you.
Y (a) Boy was in the school in Shimla.
(b) Horse
(c) Dog
Z (a) She was homesick.
(b) It
(c) He
Explanation: Out of the list given in item Y, only boy is correct answer because usually a boy and not a horse or a dog, attends school.
So (a ) is to be marked on the Answer Sheet for item Y. A boy is usually referred to as “he”, so for item Z, the letter (c) is correct answer. Notice that to solve this kind of items you have to read the preceding or succeeding sentences of the given passage.
