161. The manager accepted the cashier's _______ for coming late.

• A. expalanation
• B. explaination
• C. explnasion
• D. explanation

Explanation: The correct spelling is explanation, which drops the i of explain, and that dropped letter is exactly what the second option restores wrongly. The other two options transpose letters. Building the word from explain plus ation and then removing the i is the reliable check.

162. The writer has unearthed serious irregularities in the entire project. The word 'unearthed' in this sentence means

• A. written
• B. mentioned
• C. exposed
• D. stated

Explanation: To unearth is literally to dig up, and used figuratively it means to bring something hidden to light, so exposed or uncovered is the sense here. Mentioned and stated are far weaker, implying only that the writer referred to the irregularities rather than discovering them. Choosing the option that matches the strength of the original word is what these questions test.

163. Identify the sentence with no spelling error:

• A. Imtiaz invited me on a dinner party at restaurant.
• B. Imtiaz invited me on a diner party at restaurant.
• C. Imtiaz invited me on a dinner party at resturant.
• D. Imtiaz invited me on a dinnar party at restaurent.

Explanation: Only the first option spells both dinner and restaurant correctly. A diner is a person eating or a small roadside cafe, so the second option changes the meaning as well as the spelling, and restaurant keeps its silent a in the middle, which is where the other two go wrong. Note that the sentence would normally read to a dinner party at a restaurant, but the question is testing spelling alone.

164. Change the voice : You will be acknowledge by the Government.

• A. Government will acknowledge you
• B. Government was acknowledge you
• C. Government is acknowledge you
• D. None of these

Explanation: The passive sentence should read “You will be acknowledged by the Government”; changing it to active voice gives “The Government will acknowledge you.” The stem contains a grammatical typo in “be acknowledge,” but the intended transformation is clear.

165. Which form of verb is usually used in "Passive Sentences"?

• A. First Form
• B. Second Form

• D. None

166. Change the voice "Set the thief to catch the thief".

• A. Let the thief to catch the thief
• B. Let the thief be set to catch the thief
• C. Thief is set to catch the thief
• D. None of These

Explanation: In an imperative passive construction, “let” is followed by the object and “be” plus the past participle: “Let the thief be set to catch the thief.” The other versions either omit the passive auxiliary or are grammatically incomplete.

167. Mr. Jamal asked him a question.

• A. He was asked a question Mr. Jamal.
• B. He was asked a question to Mr. Jamal.
• C. He was asked a question by Mr. Jamal.
• D. A question was being asked by Mr. Jamal.

Explanation: In the passive voice, the object 'him' becomes 'he', and the doer is introduced by by: 'He was asked a question by Mr. Jamal.' Option d changes the tense to the past progressive.

• A. Grass is not eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.
• B. Grass is not being eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.
• C. Grass is eaten not by a lion, however hungry he may be.
• D. Grass is being not eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.Government & Public Sector Jobs

• A. You are asked to make tea at eleven O'clock.
• B. Your are required to make tea at eleven O'clock.
• C. You are supposed to make tea at eleven O'clock.
• D. Tea is to be made by you at eleven

Explanation: "It is your duty to" expresses an obligation, which is naturally recast as "You are supposed to." Option b contains a grammatical error in "Your are," while d is awkward and incomplete in punctuation.

170. Women like men to flatter them?

• A. Men are liked by women to flatter them
• B. Women like to be flattered by men
• C. Women like that men should flatter them
• D. Women are liked to be flattered by men

Explanation: In the passive, "men" becomes the agent after "by," while "to flatter them" becomes "to be flattered by men." Thus, the meaning is preserved in "Women like to be flattered by men."
